p.s sorry about Suzie's coat, its been raining here all day, and I have brushed her to try and dry the coat quicker but because it is so wooly she stays wet a while... the stable door is left open so she can go in but no, my wooly little mammoth likes the rain!!!
much to my disgust!! LOL

I did notice but when I restarted the cam it cam up immediately so I imagine that it hadn't been down long when you restarted it.

Come on Suzie please have your foal tonight!!!
LOL

I've just been watching the grooming, plus I saw the reaction to having her udder checked - she doesn't like that does she, well neither would I! LOL!!
How much are you feeding her Cassie - there looked an awful lot in her bucket? Talking of buckets (and not their colour!), you may want to change the ones like the one she is eating out of - a foals little foot could get caught in the handles, we have one of those buckets here and I wont use them for the foals or the weanlings due to the handles. Also have you made provision for her water bucket to be raised up? You need to do this before she foals (also watch out for the water buckets/bins in your field/pasture). Many a foal has drowned in a water bucket left at ground level in the stable, as it makes unsteady movements when first trying to stand. In the field they can just over balance and fall in. Please remember that if there is something 'dangerous' lying around, a mini foal will find it - they are so full of mischief. LOL!! My main 'shout at eveyone for being so stupid' thing is string! String used for tying things up - always cut all the ends so there are no loops for a little mouth to investigate and get caught in. String lying about - pick it up and put it out of harms way. String hanging up within reach - get rid of it. LOL!! I'm a mad woman most of the time, but I see possible accidents anywhere and I drive my family insane!
I love it when I pop the cam up in the morning (my morning) and watch Suzie laying flat out in her straw, seemingly fast asleep, then her eye opens and she has a small stretch before closing her eye again. She looks so peaceful and comfortable, bless her!
Good luck tonight Suzie, are we going to see that little baby of yours???
