its up
sorry for not waving, the reason why she wanted out so badly is beause the stupid cows are calling out for hay right outside her stable, poor baby girl!!
she doesn't really like the cows,
not much change to add, besides maybe dropped some more again... no more milk
I come home at 2pm today so I will be spending some time with them this arvo, might take some pics and post them for you
now have to check on Peanut and Renee's video can't wait to see that
thanks for keeping such a good watch on her for me girls
i had a great sleep, but it went very fast!! I must have been sound asleep,
Anna, question that doesn't involve horses at all, have you heard of the series Downton Abby? it has just come out first season here and is brilliant, I was wondering if it was on where you are and whether you liked it lol
of course you may not have time to watch tv LOL its the only thing I watch
P.s no stabbings at soccer last night phew!! we one 3-1 YAY!! we are coming 2nd on the board.
heading our way!!!

Renee your video is brilliant - I just love it when the minis go racing around for the fun of it, it is such a pleasure to watch them enjoyig themselves!
Cassie, yes that programme was on tv here some while ago, think they are soon doing a follow up. And no I didnt watch it as for some reason I missed the first few episodes and got a bit muddled when I tried to do a 'catch up'! But might watch it when it gets repeated. Yes I do watch tv, usually it is on early morning for the news and all evening while I'm on the computer! I listen to it with half an ear, unless there is something I really want to watch.
You really will have to have words with those cows Cassie, we cant have them upsetting our Suz, especially when she has her new baby!
Lovely clear outside cam today - Suzie has obviously settled now, so I'm off to bed (it's nearly midnight here).
Nite nite all, catch you tomorrow.

She is such a cute hairy blob out there in the distance - she is hard to find so I do think you will have to put some sort of neon sign on her so we can find her

She is normally fast asleep in the early hours so I agree.....The cows will have to go

Ah ha! We have udder movement!
She will get more puffy/loose with her vulva yet Cassie.
Now if you look at that last picture of Suzie (the one of her right side) and then scroll back to the pictures (somewhere?) of - golly cant remember who posted them, was it you Renee? Well the two pics of a mare's belly from the side, where it shows you how when the foal drops, the whole belly seems to move forward, nearer the front legs, to form the V. Cassie's tummy is not in that position yet.
Hope this makes sense. LOL!!
But she IS moving onwards in the right direction and one day, not far from now, we shall have a little baby - or rather you and Suz will have a new baby!
Can I please ask you what you are feeding her. it is just that she seems to be eating for quite a long while after being fed. She looks in very good condition, so should not really require a load of food alongside her grass, plus plenty of hay to munch on. You need to be careful not to fill her up with food she doesn't need, dont want her to become obese at this stage of the game, also as the foal gets bigger it takes up more room in a mare's tum (obviously) so the mare often finds herself a bit short of breath (lung room) if climbing hills in her field (as ours do) or she find her stomach feeling unomfortable if too full of food. Hay they seem to 'graze' on slowly as the do on grass, but actual food is often greedily gobbled up or a large amount is eaten in a relatively short time (unlike slow grazing) and the stomach gets overfilled, before it can start digesting and passing the food through the system.
My girls have grass in the day, ad lib hay at night, but only a morning and evening feed of one cup of balancer - they dont need any more weight put on, so the balancer just keeps their essential minerals and vitamins topped up without over filling their stomachs.
Hope you dont mind me saying this, but apart from possibly feeding Suzie a bit too much at the moment, when it isn't really necessary, you could save yourself some money by cutting down on her food?

Hi Anna, thankyou
I agree with the elongation of her vulva... I really should take the pics first thing in the morning LOL and as soon as she sees the camera she tightens everything up LOL the little cow
I might have to sneak in with my little digital instead of my good one hehe,
I have been thinking of cutting her back on her feed. she has a scoop of oaten, a scoop of lucerne and 3/4 a scoop of mitavit breeda, ( when both girls came to me they were both quite skinny! my friend and another breeder friend both agreed on the diet that she is on as she wasn't well looked after with her previous owner, I have been thinking of cutting back on the lucerne and oaten chaff, and I did give her a BIG lot of hay tonight bigger then usual to settle her down cos of the cows (which have now been moved by yours truly LOL hope my uncle doesn't mind oh well too bad hehe) I'm such an evil neice
Thankyou for letting me know though Anna, as I wasn't sure and I haven't had the chance to ask my friend yet. so I will start cutting her back a bit... I think I should still keep her on the same amount of breeda though as it is what she should have for her weight and where she is in her pregnancy... also although it is hard to see misleading from the cam there isn't that much grass in her paddock, though she will be going to a nicer paddock when the foal is born.
well I am off to bed... have to keep an I on Lillee though as she seems very interesting right now
my assistant marestarer Casper has already hit the hay!! LOL he really is no good at his job LOL
Night everyone
OH and Anna!!!!!! thank you for thinking that we have movement with the udder
it made my day just to see that ( I have been a wee bit worried LOL shhh) lets hope she continues bagging up really nice
night all, thanks for watching my snuggle bunny for me!!

I am not sure what you saw or where you think you saw a foal?
Diane, I am so sorry that your poor mare is sick and then the stallion thing. God what a nightmare for your boys! ( I bet they were cussing about you being away whilst they were sorting out Mr nasty stallion) Do you know what is/was wrong with her? I bet you are biting at the bit to get home now. How terrible and you were having such a lovely time. What is it you always say? oh yeah. "take a deep breath and calm down, all will be just fine"
Hugs Renee
P.S To my friends, Our plan has been ordered and it is on it's way.
