Mare ready to foal?

[cassie]

Haha lindi!! I have a radio in the stable i put it on when I'm working in the stables but haven't had it on at night... Hmm thanks

Radio going all day in the stables here! Turn it off a night though.

Gosh I dont know where today went - didn't get back on my laptop until around an hours ago!! Did manage a few quick checks on the lovely Suzie though.

Now she's out wandering her paddock so I presume the weather has cleared up a bit, bless her, she really doesn't like the grotty weather does she!

Well really tired so off to bed. Hope your day goes well Cassie.

 

[Equuisize]

Hope your weather straightens out and the high winds do not materialize.

Be safe out there....

Morning/ evening all

I hope you are all well and I apologise for my absence. My Dad must have guessed that something was up and he flew over for a surprise visit. yahooooo

I still watch our little Suzie as much as I can and I miss all our chats like mad. Never mind he will only be here for a week.

Catch you all later

 

[Wings]

Enjoy your family visit

Maybe Suzie will take pity on all her long term watchers and finally drop a foal.... or maybe she is enjoying the attention to much

 

[AnnaC]

Morning all.

Is Cassie late home from the vets coz I just have a dark pic of the paddock on my cam, so Suzie must be still outside? Hate it when it gets dark - i worry that Suz is 'doing something' and we cant see her!!

Hope the expected bad weather has bypassed you Cassie (and our other Aussie friends), it's raining here again this morning but hopefully it will clear a bit by this afternoon.

Renee, hope you have a good visit with your Dad and that he can offer you some support.

very strange suzie is still out in her paddock in the dark hope all is well casie???????

 

[AnnaC]

Phew, she's in now! I expect Cassie was just working late at the vets?

Anyway Suzie looks just fine, so no worries.

 

[cassie]

hi everyone!

only just got home from the vets

lol Dad fed and put the ponies in for me at around 5pm but my brothers didn't change the camera over for me

sorry,

I'm about to go out and check on her, she was just down sternal for a minute, couldn't decide if she wanted to go flat or not, decided not and got back up, tail swishing and tummy bites... will give you an update when I get back in,

I'm on call for the vets tomorrow as well and have to go in there for a little bit in the morning then in the evening to feed and medicate,

BUT guess what!! you will all be SO proud of me hehe (well I think you will be hehe) I had a moment of brilliance lol and thought the vets have clippers!!! REALLY GOOD ONES! so I asked if I could borrow them and return them tomorrow arvo and they said YES!! so Suzie's tummy will be getting clipped tomorrow! weather permitting and suzie permitting hehe

 

[cassie]

p.s I'm wondering if the foal is making Suzie uncomfortable tonight... she keeps on lifting her tail up really high but going out there now, after catching up on our mares hehe

 

[lucky lodge]

Hows suzie going now any change yet

 

[cassie]

slow changes in her udder, hopefully ready for the big day when I go out there to find a huge udder

hehe

we have a japanese exchange student here at the moment and she came out with me to check Suzie and she got to feel the foal move she was so excited!!!

was really cool would love for Suz to foal while she was here but don't think it will happen she goes back friday...

 

[Eagle]

Great news on the clippers Cassie, you are quite a genious (sp) lets just hope that Suzie agrees lol

 

[cassie]

haha momentary burst of genius lol believe me!!

lets hope weather holds out and Suzie co-operates!

night all

just finished watching Shakespeare in Love and now feel like writing more of my story lol but alas, my eyes are closing and it is past my bed time LOL

so fair thee well, my dear friends good night, see you on the morrow LOL

(sorry the english in me loves a good romance LOL) hehe

night everyone

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! I do have to laugh at Suzie sometimes! I flick up the marestare page regularly (I have to close down my laptop if I'm not working on it coz it gets over heated if I leave it running continuously!) and there is our Suz, flat out and very still. I refresh the page - still flat out and very still.

Did the refresh work??? Try again - still flat out and still. Grrrrrrr! Lean forward and stare at the screen.........Suzie blinks. LOL!! Relief! The refresh is working, Suzie is still alive and just doing her 'statue' act!!

She really worries me at times.

 

[Lindi-loo]

I cant believe the amount of time she spends laying down..Mine hardly ever lay down she certainly loves her bed

 

[AnnaC]

Mine are all 'layers' too Lindy, I think it is a case of some do and some dont! Mind you I also think that a big, bouncy, deep bed can help, especially when a very pregnant mare can 'sink' her over large tummy into it when she goes to lay down. I'm suprised that Maxime didn't/doesn't lay down more, coz I know from your pics that she had plenty of lovely bedding!

Suzie doesn't look too comfortable, or she didn't a few moments ago - lots of heavy breathing. Then she laid flat out for a short while, now she's up again, but having a grazing stint. Think it a bit strange that she didn't stay down for very long - not like our Suzie?

 

[cassie]

morning all

Suzie and the others are fed

Suzie's bag seems a little fuller this morning again, not much but I think she is starting to fill along the sides of her udder? lol if that makes sense

haha just pushed her gate aside so she could go out hehe what a smart girl! lol

have a good night sleep everyone,

 

[Eagle]

Thanks Cassie

Over and out

 

[cassie]

ok well I clipped Suzies tummy!!

and I hate it!!!

how long does it take before it goes back to normal?? ahhh

I don't like it at all!! Suzie was such a good girl! but I wish I hadn't done it!!!!!!!!!
