Mare ready to foal?

[LittleBittyBritches]

Thanks Diane - she certainly is bothered by something!

Off to do the boys now - late again LOL!!

She hasn't laid down as much as before at all.

Been watching her myself since getting back in - she seems to have forgotten whatever it was that was bothering her temporarily, but is not too comfortable in herself now. Poor Suz, she's not having a very good night - I wish she would lay down and take a rest for a while.

I'm off to get myself something to eat now, but will keep watching.

Sorry I have been busy tonight with the kids. I have read back and I see Suzie has has a restless night, poor girl is starting to get too big to feel comfy.

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! Diane - bet she's got a dirty patch on her now - silly girl.

Well, that's another night over, and a bit of a restless one, bless her. Looking for her breakfast - too early as usual.

well it didn't rain so I'm on my way out... I'm gonna change the camera cos suzie will be going straight outside, every time I was awake ( I had a restless night too lol)

she wasn't looking comfortable, I couldn't hear anything, a couple of times I heard one of the cows calling but she should be used to that by now... I don't know what was up last night... hmmm

Hi Jenny,

I honestly didn't check lol wanted to get her stable empty before I had to get to work, mission successful by the way

went to take pics, can't take many pics when my camera is flat

LOL drat silly me!

didn't get time to put it on the charge, will have to do it when I go home lol

took Penny's rugs off so will take some pics of her later aswell, I have had a combo rug on her, thinking I will just get a body rug as the combo is making her lovely mane a bit matted, so will see if the feed store has a nice light rug (for summer ) I might just be seeing things, she is looking HEAPS better and is starting to get a nice top line now, just wish she wasn't such a stress head... so hard to do anything with her

she looks very similar to this pic, which was from her breeder, she WAS in foal in this pic... (which is what made me start thinking... )



will try to get the pics after work this arvo...

 

[lucky lodge]

what a pretty little girl she is

 

[cassie]

naw thanku Jenny, she is very special!!

still quite hard to train but I'm getting there... VERY SLOWLY lol

I think its very hard to gain her trust!, Suzie n Smartie trust me to do anything, Penny... she takes alot more worl...

hoping she will get there eventually...

 

[lucky lodge]

sweety is the same not much trust in humans but she getting there

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Penny is a pretty girl, cant wait to see more pics of her

 

[cassie]

thanks Kara

will have a go when I get home 20 min

LOL

Shes gorgeous shame shes so shy bless her..when I bought my mare I was very aware that she had no trust whatsoever in humans Iv no idea why

maybe she had a bad time somewhere along the way or maybe its just the way she was..I dont think the lady i bought her from helped much as she said to me the reason she was selling her was because she just didnt like her

she wouldnt be caught brushed or fussed..its taken a good few years but shes great now..she will let me do anything and calls and comes running to greet me..still wont go within a mile of my sons but loves my husband very strange..she even takes great pleasure sharing her baby

so maybe just time with Penny knowing you love her and she will be just fine

 

[cassie]

hoping so Linidi!!! I think it is similar for Penny as your mare, she was a brood mare and thats it with her previous owner... very sad

uploading pics now

of Penny n Suzie... didn't get many cos the battery died again... but you get the picture

 

[cassie]

OK Penny pics first, 2008 (old owner pic) then pic from when I got her, then in August so a little over a month ago... then today, let me know what you thinnk

ok maybe I'm just seeing things...

[cassie]

[cassie]

another angle...

 

[lucky lodge]

she has dropped in the belly

 

[anyssapark]

Looks like Suz is steadily progressing along Cass

Re Penny. I have owned, and know many horses with coat o chrome bloodlines, and MANY of them sound just like your Penny. Shy, would just prefer to be left alone. Its strange, but i think its something in the bloodline...

It's interesting how personality quirks seem to carry in the lines. Back when I bred mini lop rabbits I found it very obvious! Some of my friends could pick the lines based on the personality.
