Heidi n Renee you will neve be banned from my thread I just dnt like rats like how Heidi doesn't like spiders lol
Diane I'm so sorry about your mare!! You poor thing! It must be terrible!
I better go feed my girl I still can't believe she hasn't foaled yet ;( I might see if I can do a milk test at some point today... Now we broadcast over to never too mini stables for the night shift where hopefully miss peanut will deliver her foal.
Either that or maybe suzie might foal outside. She Is definitley acting different so surely it can't be too much longer.... Or maybe it can

Hope all those who are off to bed will have a good and peaceful night.
Morning Cassie, hope your day at work goes ok - it would be better if Suzie waits until this evening to have her baby rather than out in the field, although we would be happy with a birth at ANYTIME! LOL!!
I'm off to bed shortly, but just noticed that my friend Sharon (Shadylady) has posted that her third foal has arrived at last, so just going to offer her my congrats.
Catch you all on Peanut's topic tomorrow around 2-3 am (PN time)

So sorry to hear about your mare Diane. This heat is too much! Hope she recovers soon.
I saw Cassie trying to get milk and Suzie wasn't too inviting about it. She has to be as tired of waiting as we are.

Diane sorry about your mare
I'm not looking forward to the first time things go wrong with my girls, it will be a heart breaking experience.
Come on Suzie, pop out a healthy bubs with a text book foaling and cheer us all up!

she was lying down, and breathing really heavy, so i went home to check on her. she is ok I'm wondering if the foal is making it hard for her to breath when she lies down... could this be the case??
she is SOOO uncomfortable today!! more then she has been... I can't help but get excited!!
she waddles around TAIL swishing madly!! is very sooky with me, wants scratches from Penny then doesn't want them, goes all the sudden cranky with me but then wants me too stay, I didn't want to go back down to work, I wanted to stay and play with her.
I think I'm going to give Penny a big bath on Sunday and maybe try clipping her... these lovely days and I have to take all her rugs off her as her massive coat makes her so sweaty, and the flies will be starting soon. SPRING is in the air

wanting everyones thoughts, wondering if I should get the vet out to check Suzie, whenever she lies down she has VERY heavy breathing and almost gasps... do people find that with their mares?? my friend is worried the foal might be breach? she hasn't looked at Suzie and breeds arabs not mini's do you think i should get the vet to check her or is this normal for a very heavily pregnant mini?? just getting a little worried as this is the 3rd day she has done this...

Ok THAT was a lot of reading.
Was a busy day and night for the watchers.
Waiting on the next chapter of your book/Good job!
I was wondering about Suz's heavy breathing you've been
talking about. Does the vet you work for on Saturday
have any thought on it? Or could you just put a call into
Suz's vet and asked to speak to him/her and get an opinion?
I forgot I need to load photos onto Photobucket before I can
put them on here. Guess I need to do that.

Here are a couple of quick ones.
I'm suprised at his color. All his sister's
are red like Daddy - Zaky under his red baby fuzz
appears to be the color of his Mom. Zoe was tested
at UCDavis, as a red head, but she has such a dark
cast to her coat...everyone says she's a silver bay
when they see her, despite the test results.
Wonder if this is liver?
Didn't do his legs or any touch up yet but he's much cooler.
We don't do fetlocks here on the grown horses. We have moles and
my farrier says to leave them on in case they get caught in a hole
they'll lift their legs out with the hairs brush the hole.
Yesterday when the fam was here, in his red baby fuzzies.
Took this under the shed cover so the sun wouldn't wash his color out...

Thanks Cass. Lousy photos but he is one sweet little boy.
Never met a stranger, he's so friendly...toooo friendly for me
to get photos, by myself, as he yells the minute he sees me and
comes running. In fact you can see his mouth open in that one photo
and I was still on the other side of the fence when I snapped that one.
Have to be quick.
I think anytime you're concerned about your horse's health a
call to the vet is in order.
If you've a good realtionship, hopefully they should give you some
info up front/if they dont' feel they can do that, then by all means
have them out.
It's worth your piece of mind.
Hopefully, it'd be nothing more than the baby getting into position
to announce it's arrival in the big wide world.

Thanks Nancy, I might give them a quick call and just see if I can talk to him... or one of them at least, I'll wait a little while till Renee and Anna get here to see if they can offer any advice but otherwise I will call this afternoon.
