Hi Cassie,
I've been checking Suzie's cam regularly as I never can work out time differences. Now you have said 8pm tonight and your cam says it is still morning with you, I realise we will have to wait a few hours yet. LOL!! It is all so confusing!!
Hope Suzie is being a good girl - tell her to wait until the cam is up and running before giving any thoughts to having that baby!
Daughter is staggering on, bless her. She has two of our stallions with her, plus two yearling colts, five yearling fillies, seven of our mares, plus a group of four boys at present living out (one two year old, two three year olds and one 4 year old). Three of the yearling fillies have just been turned out to live out, but everyone else uses the stables or open areas of the barn, plus the neighbouring paddocks, so all require food, hay, mucking out etc, plus young son and partner require feeding (at least sometimes LOL!), so she is pretty busy!
If my health was better just now I would be over there to help, but doing my two boys and two colts, plus walking the fields to check on the mares, is more than enough for me at the moment. To drive over to her and just to spend an hour discussing/giving advice is quite exhausting for me. But Cathy's 'grown up' son (he's 19) is going over tomorrow evening to sit in the lorry with Cathy while she sleeps to watch the Mummy mare for her for 3 or 4 hours - that's if Mummy mare doesn't foal tonight, which she looks as though she might - or she might not. LOL!!
Mares - dont you just love them!
Anna
