Mare ready to foal?

[cassie]

It should be up now... I was playing with a new format but i dnt think its working too well... Will change it back when i get up this morning suzie is all good sorry Anna

 

[AnnaC]

Dont apologise Cassie, I'm sure you could do without all this cam 'trouble' right now!

Glad Cassie is ok - off to have check on her myself!

Anna

 

[cassie]

Lol thanks Anna it's ok

my foal time test strips arrived on Friday so I might try getting some milk from her today :/ lol

 

[bannerminis]

Well Suzie is still Suzie and keeping those legs crossed. Let us know how you get on with those strips

 

[cassie]

Karen from Lai Lai Minatures came out today

she is so wonderful

we think she might have another week or two to go, but she also said, with the signs she could surprise us lol

so if we can still watch her it would be appreciated but I don't think we need to get concerned just yet, might have a go with the test strips in a few days...

about to go give her some hay

 

[AnnaC]

Oh we will keep watching her Cassie - these mares have a habit of suprising us just at the moment we turn our backs! LOL!!

I just opened the camera, and saw Suzie with a lighter patch in front of her, which i thought was a foal, and it looked like she was licking it. I got all excited... then realised she was just eating hay PML

Glad Karen came out to visit Cassie, she is great.

Yep, all mares can surprise us, and change very quickly... so dont be going too far from her, but good to have another opinion and know that you can maybe relax a little for now.

I agree as Slaney and Shimmer were going along with the same udder, shape etc and then like you flicked a switch they got their game face on and foaled within a couple of days once they started the final bit of udder filling, shape changing, jello bum etc.

Once they hit a certain point in their development then the rest can happen very quickly.

I cant wait for Suzie and Peanut to foal and see the gorgeous babies.

 

[cassie]

Thankyou everyone for not giving up on suzie n me

my dad has

it would be the best fun if suzie had a beautiful healthy foal for when he came back

hehe

Haha oh sorry Renee yes the hay has a funny colour to it on the cam I wish she was licking a foal hehe oh well

Karen is lovely and was so much help even with my other mare who thanks to her I might take to some shows next season which would be great fun

Thankyou karina

everytime morning I go out there I am expecting to Find a huge bag hasn't happened yet but it can't be to much longer lol

 

[Equuisize]

Good morning, Australia!

Haven't seen Suzie much the past couple days.

She is looking pleasantly plump

I'm with Karina .... game on, can happen quickly.

Suzie and Peanut are certainly keeping us in suspense.

 

[cassie]

Hi Nancy good morning

I am still waking up during the night just in case,

Peanut and Suzie are definatly keeping us in suspense poor Heidi!!! she has a full bag and everything (Peanut that is hehe) and she still hasn't popped out a beautiful little foal!!

UPdate on Suzie!!

We have more milk...

Still not heaps but it has increase overnight compared to the last few nights, will try take some piccies today... hopefully :/

It looks like foal is sitting down more, but I could be just guessing LOL trying to see any changes possible. LOL

trying to set up the outdoor cam right now, so the indoor cam will go down for the rest of the day and will switch to outdoor as long as I get it working hehe,

 

[cassie]

outdoor cam set up, angle not great gotta play with that a bit more but I have to go back down to work.

We have a new little calf it is SOOOO cute will take some pics of it, either tonight or tomorrow and put them up

wish I was saying we have a new foal but a new calf is still VERY exciting!!!

Suzie was lying down when I went out just before so I am going to watch her carefully for the rest of the day...

Suzie in for the night cam change is really good

so easy LOVING it hehe

say hello to Suzie night cam!!

 

[cassie]

Suzie acting a little strange tonight... might not be anything but thought I would let you girls no...

usually when I feed her she hoes into her feed and doesn't lift her head till she has finished, tonight tho

she will eat some then just stand with her head in her feed and you think the camera and stopped, then she starts eating again, only to stop a few minutes later to look outside, or look back at her tummy, or just look in her stable...

this keeps on happening... strange....

 

[cassie]

a pic just then
