Mare ready to foal?

[AnnaC]

Funnily enough I was just thinking about picking you up on my way to Aussieland - I would enjoy the company and we could share a break away from home stresses - but the sound of a break in Fiji is sounding quite an alternative. LOL!!

Foot seems to be fully recovered, thanks, just the red mark but no soreness. Loved the story of your episode with the hot water bottle - the best invention since the wheel IMO - I have had many similar near misses in the past!

Yep, I was around early this morning. Actually managed to sleep from 1am to 6am without waking, something I rarely do. Was restless coz I remember hearing the rain, but didn't actually wake up wake up, so managed one long sleep. Wish it would happen every night!

That's great, isn't it wonderful when you wake up refreshed.

They forecast rain for here this afternoon which would be wonderful, it hasn't rained properly for months

I think I will go shopping today for a new bikini

Fiji is calling

 

[cassie]

LOL hi girls!

Suzie hasn't Touched her food AT ALL tonight!! and has only been pushing her hay around,... I'm a little bit worried!!!!

well I have the BEST solution girls!

Anna n Renee, you can come over... Suzie will have the foal 1 week before we go... you then can have a fun week with me n Suzie, Smartie n Penny...

then we all repack our bags n catch a plane to Fiji!!!!

lovin the sound of that??? I am!!!!

exhasuted after a hectic day at work...

have to head back over there tomorrow morning and night so a very busy weekend, friends over right now, so I won't be on much... thanks for watching.

oh n what do you think about Suzie not touching her food??!!

 

[Eagle]

hhmmmm could be that baby is taking up too much room and she doesn't feel hungry orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it could be that baby is coming

Lets see if she eats it later.

Great idea Cassie, i will start packing. heheheeeeeeee

 

[AnnaC]

I'm already packed - just waiting for the word to be off!

Suz has been nibbling most of the day so maybe she's just not feeling hungry - foal pressing on her stomach? Will be watching her carefully for any odd signs Cassie.

 

[AnnaC]

Suzie is not looking very comfortable is she, bless her. Doing some heavy breathing too!

 

[cassie]

yeah, then down flat for 2 seconds, then struggled to get up then walking with tail held high!! come on baby girl!! a foal tonight would make my mummy n me very happy!!!

sometimes Suzie will leave a bit at the bottom but she hadn't even touched it!!

I'm going to get some sleep but will have barn alarm up... please let me know of anything!

night all n thankyou!

 

[AnnaC]

Think she might be eating some of her food now - has she still got some left in her bowl or do you keep her hay near her door Cassie? Cant see her clearly, but from her head movements I'm sure she's munching!

 

[Eagle]

I am here for a few more hours but then I am going to a friends for dinner

 

[Lindi-loo]

sat here watching Suzie standing and snoozing she was heavy breathing a bit with flared nostrils then all of a sudden crashed to the floor..did anyone else see that

Im sure she meant to as in laying down but geez scared me the way she did it.. I thought she fell over..shes happy snoozing now although doesnt look comfortable at all with that big belly bless her and shes still heavy breathing.. I will have her up on cam for the rest of the afternoon now

 

[Eagle]

Diane, it goes without saying that you are coming, you are flying the darn plane

NO

or

please.

Did everything go as planned with your sports car??

Hugs Renee

 

[Eagle]

you didn't get it!!

 

[Eagle]

oh please do

 

[Eagle]

OMG Diane, he is just adorable! In the first pic he looks like a wild mustang in mini

I WANT HIM.

 

[LittleRibbie]

Hh La La, I did not see that last picture!! what, were you afraid I was going to hi jack the trailer?

but stop showing off, Cam can do the trick in the first picture too..thats not so special!!

I told you before Diane, Hes beautiful!! you deserve nothing less and Im thrilled for you and what he will help do w/your Falabella program.

Just out of curiosity, are there enough Falabellas here in the states that there could ever be a separate class/classes for them say at Nationals? or would they be more in "color classes" With their rounder hoofs and I think the rib and other characteristics thats Im sure Im not aware of.. they would/should be judged differently wouldnt they? Just a newbie wondering.

 

[LittleRibbie]

Stand in line little Miss Renee

doesnt he look like a little spit fire!!

Thats O.K. Im happy with my handsome little Nicky and Cam!!

 

[Lindi-loo]

What a handsome boy

Suzie looks more comfortable now laying flat out 1 eye open

 

[LittleRibbie]

Darn...your no fun!!

Interresting...will wait to see what Anna says.

As a breeder/promoter whould you or other breeders like to see some separate classes or does it not make to much difference....certainlly doesnt hurt to have some Falabellas winning some huge classes at national level such as your little El Rey and KC's Dad ( driving too !! )

Sorry Miss Cassie, just realized Im not only attempting to hi jack my first falabella but now Im hijacking your thread!!

 

[AnnaC]

Oh my! I disappear off for my regular 2 hours rest (Doc's orders) and what happens? You lot go mad!!

Renee is fueling up the plane - thank goodness, do hurry up. Diane is complaining coz she wants to come too - silly billy, she might have known that she would be collected en route!

Then Diane is smashing up cars, ordering a Ferrari that doesn't arrive, but turns into a much better looking, sleek lined, horse powered 4 x 4 - 0 to 60 in 30 seconds I shouldn't be suprised!!

I shouldn't be suprised if all this exciting talk is affecting poor Suzie, who does seem to be very restless and uncomfortable tonight, bless her.

Regarding Falabellas, yes we have classes specially for them over here, three different classes, because under the IMHPS umbrella we have three different registries for Falabellas - one for those from Argentina with genuine Argentinian registration and DNA'd, one for all other fully bred Falabellas (bred outside Argentina) and one for any part bred Falabellas. My boy was born and bred in Argentina and has all his paperwork, but I dont own any other 'full' Falabellas, only half-breds - his offspring.

There are a great number of Falabellas - and their offspring - here in the UK, but I think that because we are such a small 'nation' these horses stand a better chance of getting to the shows, therefore it is worth putting on classes for them. In the US travelling distances might make it difficult to get enough entries to make the 'special' classes worth while??

Poor Suzie really isn't doing very well tonight is she? I've got to go do my boys now - hope some of you will keep a watch over her?

 

[Lindi-loo]

Yes Iv been watching her last few hours too shes pretty restless poor girl..come on baby I think its almost time
