Mare ready to foal?

[AnnaC]

Up again, obvious not very settled. Is she waiting for something Cassie? Has she got her hay? Or has she just seen something outside to catch her interest?

 

[cassie]

I just gave her half a biscuit of hay earlier... she can't have finished it already!! i dont have much left have to get another bale tomorrow!!

I'm sure Penny n Smartie are up to something outside!! oh n you would be proud of me she gets half a scoop each of oaten and lucerne and one of the breeda!!! oh n a little bit of speedi beat at night

which she loves!!! she is looking quite uncomfortable, she wasn't down for very long at all!!

 

[cassie]

Night all!! Going to get some sleep!! thanks for watching!!!

All is quiet at the moment Cassie so lets see how she spends the rest of her night.

Is there anyone that can help you hold and distract Suzie so you can take a milk sample.

Not many mares will let you take a sample unless you are firm with them and let them know that you are the boss and pregnant or not you make the decisions.

If she was distracted with food or scratches it would give you enough time to get a few drops.

Good night Cassie!

Suzie is down sternal right now. I'm guessing a moth just flew in front of the camera... nothing else to report

 

[Eagle]

well done Cassie

for the football not the tights

Suzie has just gone flat but her eyes are open.

I was just looking at the date you first posted about Suzie and it was June 2nd so we are all typing on this topic for 2 months and she is STILL keeping us waiting LOL.

You did say your vet said said 6/8 wks so we are definitely at the 8 wk mark now so lets hope she is going to go soon.

Peanut will be at her 2 month date on the 16th and she still has her legs crossed the little madam LOL

Oh well it does mean that we are finally getting closer with these ladies.

A mare has just come back t be covered again bc she didn't take

I have had enough now

Sorry again Cassie.

 

[cassie]

Awww sorry renee

what a tough day!! Do you have a pool? If do jump in or get a nice cool bath! That's what we do in the extreme heat...

N that's fine

dnt worry bout it it was around my alarm time anyway... Suzie out flat now very stretched out... That's a new angle for her let's hope she doesn't go any further back :s

 

[Eagle]

I wish we could zoom in and see her boobies

 

[AnnaC]

Suzie happily grazing now.

Cassie why do you call your hay sections 'biscuits' and how big or heavy is a 'biscuit? I've heard folks call hay sections 'wafers', but 'biscuit' - no?

What does everyone else call their hay 'setions' - unless of course you have the big round bales, then it just becomes 'armfuls' LOL!!

 

[AnnaC]

Just remembered that Cassie is asleep or supposed to be! Maybe she will give an answer when she wakes!

lol Over here we call them flakes

 

[LittleRibbie]

Matts right, Flakes here too! These Aussies seem to call everything biscuits!!

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! Yes flakes is used here too, but usually a flake is a yummy 'flakey stick' of chocolate which is either eaten as is, or found pushed into the top of an ice cream cornet!

I would say I that I give them a slice of hay.

All quiet with Miss Suzie. No excitement today not even an escapee mini. Nothing to get the heart going for a bit of excitement only a serious craving for biscuits
