Mare ready to foal?

[lucky lodge]

Hi everyone was a lovely day today in perth australia for fathers day

but didnt go visit dad as he;s just got out of hospital from having a triple bypass so the last thing he needs is my crapy flu......\

But happy fathers day to all the dads out there,, is it fathers day at every elses country or just australia

Oh any changes on the little miss suzie

 

[cassie]

Hi Jenny, so sad you didn't get to visit your dad, but wise decision about not coming near him LOL

I'm not sure bout the fathers day thing... Renee? Diane? Anna? Lindi? Kara? do you guys have fathers day?? we know Bree n Renee do they are down under too hehe

well after her lovely day of excercise of course her udder has gone down

but hoping I will be able to see some changes tomorrow... fingers crossed!!

I'm thinking that the foal might be sitting a little lower too... I have to get down right on the ground to check Suzie's udder now LOL

just a normal night here for Suz lol

 

[lucky lodge]

Just looking at suzie on cam and from her back she looks different like maybe her belly has droped

what do yous think

Oh Cassie, chocolate digestives are just the best (apart from custard creams of course!) - lovely digestive biccies coated on one side by either milk or dark choolate, yummmmmm!!

We do have a Father's Dad but it is in June/July - sorry but I cant remember exactly as my Dad died in 1985, so quite a while since I bought Father's Day cards/gifts etc.

Kissy kissy snuggle snuggle, Suzie is the sweetest little bundle of joy I have ever seen.

 

[cassie]

haha thanks Renee

she is that!!! she loves to just rest her head near mine! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! she would make anyone fall in love with minis!!

when she first came to me she hated kids (as her previous owner had no kids)

so I had to really watch her as she got very scared and would run away,

last week we had a friend come with her grandchildren, I held onto suzie's halter while the intros were made then let her wander, she REALLY loved this little girl she is 5 and kept coming up for snuggles

was so proud of her!! she has settled so much since being with me and has really prettied up (if thats a word) lol its amazing what good food, love and attention will do!!

Love you my Suzie girl!!!

I am going to try and leave the light on, just dimmed to see if she still poops in the middle of her stable... just a trial...

when I was in there the foal was moving like CRAZY poor suz was so uncomfortable...

won't be long now baby girl!!

good night everyone

 

[Eagle]

Suzie is a very lucky girl, if only all horses had a mummy like you

 

[cassie]

naw thanks Renee

I'm so glad I was able to rescue these two girls!!

 

[AnnaC]

I'll second that Renee, but then I think Suz and Penny already know how lucky they are!

And just think about the love and care this lucky little foal is going to experience.

 

[cassie]

thankyou Anna

you girls are so sweet!!

Suzie not looking very comfy tonigh have ppl noticed? I think her big day out has made foal wanting a big night out!! LOL

poor baby girl...

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

I agree with you guys too. cassie you do such a great job! And suzie is soooo sweet with all her love. she like a big puppy dog

 

[Eagle]

The puppy dog wants her breakfast

I am off to bed. night night

 

[AnnaC]

Night Renee - hope you enjoyed your 'free day' plus another one to look forward to tomorrow!

Suzie REALLY wants her breakfast Cassie! LOL!!

 

[cassie]

Suzie out in the paddock enjoying the lovely sun I think I will have to spend an hour brushing her tonight tho... the warm weather is making her moult more

lol

poor suz she is now patchy with her summer coat, but at least I can see it coming through YAY!!!

not much changes at the moment...

she seems to be on a bit of a stand still

which I'm not liking AT ALL!!! hopefully she will progress some more in the next few days!!!

 

[cassie]

no worried Diane thats fine

she isn't very interesting yet...

oh I wanted to add, I had the light on last night and she pooped to the sides more then the middle of her bed.

so I will try turning it off tonight and see what she does... trial n error LOL

suzie standing at the gate swishing her tail...

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

it seemed to take my yearlings forever this year to shed out their winter coats!

 

[cassie]

my girls seem to be having no troubles at all lol and they love shedding it all over me

LOL

I think I will have to start with the fly traps n fly spray soon, I think the flies are giving Suzie heck today! it got up to 27 degrees celicius here!! lol n only the 5th day of spring!! a lovely day

Suzie was only down for a short while today, maybe 5 minutes max!

I am watching a mare on marestare at the moment I now know what serious pacing looks like!! LOL

I'm sure she must be going to foal soon! either that or she is going to lose lots of weight pacing the way she is

poor thing!

 

[Eagle]

Morning all

Suzie is hiding

 

[AnnaC]

Morning all.

LOL!! Renee - she's usually hiding from me, but I just saw her over by the fence, bet she will disappear again soon.

 

[Eagle]

I think she can hear us Anna bc she has just made an appearance right in front of the cam
