Well Thor has a low grade eye infection
Poor little guy got a grass seed in there. No damage thankfully but he is on 1 oral med and two in the eye twice a day for the next 5 days... let's hope he forgives me!!
However he has discovered he can trot and OMG I could spend the whole day watching him, he isn't even trying and he can MOVE!
Beauty's coming along well, very relaxed vulva with a deepening colour, well filled bag, easy to get liquid out although it's still pale and doesn't get tacky easily so she's not quite there yet. I'd expect something from her within the next 2 weeks but of course we all know what Beauty has been like so far
She makes me all paranoid because she is a 'leaky' sort of mare and with a pink bottom you see everything! I have to keep reminding myself that of course she will have a leak or dribble here or there. I just want this foal safely out so I can be not paranoid for awhile!

I have missed out a bit... But Bree those are 2 stunning foals! I agree on the whole having them come to the US
preferably to MA since I am still looking for a couple minis hehe
He always seems to trot when I don't have the camera
but this was the first time he did more then a few steps so he has me a bit excited!
I'll see if I can catch him at it later... although he'll probably forget about the trot and go straight back to hooning
By the way if anyone is interested there are more photos up from the expo I was at https://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/?set=a.271849596265596.61674.257949917655564&type=3
I don't know if that link will work properly but anyone who does facebook can look for 'Lauren Duiker Photography' and click on photos to find the album 'WGEE- Equissage Miniature Jumping Fault & Out Competition'
There's a fantastic one of Drifter in a hat

The link worked Bree - great pictures generally, but I love the one of Drifter looking at the camera as if to say 'have you got the shot?' - fabulous!!
Sorry but we simply CANT wait another two weeks for Beauty to foal - far too frustrating!! Please go and be nice to her today, plead a little, tell her that you are sorry for being cross with her over the past few weeks, explain that her 'Aunties' love her and are waiting to welcome her new baby, and if all else fails, tell her NO MORE FOOD until we see a baby on the ground!!

Well she has the alarm on, she must have heard you Anna because she was acting a bit foalish when I was out there. Not enough for me to be sure she'll go but since she has been so tricky I figured better safe then sorry!
Her milk has gone tacky, her vulva could be more consistent and her udder could harden more.

aw exciting. Let the Bree madness begin!
Given that it's Beauty NOTHING suprises me
Of course she didn't set it off once but I'm working on not enough sleep so if I check her today and she's gone backwards (again) then I'm taking the darn thing off!
Mares!

I found her
Well I just logged in and saw her here but I'll claim the credit anyway
Just been trying to puzzle out Beauty's breeding dates based on my notes from last season.
Turns out that second heat when she rejected him? Way too soon after the heat where she DID accept Tinker to have been a true heat. Kicking myself that I didn't pick up on that at the time.
Tinker went out with the girls on the 18th of October after breeding Dreamy (and making Thor
) and Beauty's known heat occured at the same time as her sister, so if I go by that date Beauty is 337 days in foal however if I use a month from her first breeding on that early heat we're at 332 days, even if she was covered a week after that (and I don't think it would have been any later) then we are sitting right smack in the foaling days.
Her vulva is inconsistent, one moment it is so stretched you could store things in it and the next it is tighter. When loose the colour is deeper but I understand this can happen form her rubbing or even lieing down for an extended time before I check her. The udder is getting tight but certainly not the rock hard feel I look for, liquid is expressed very easily but is still watery, no white flecks and still tacky.
She's been down flat for awhile today and since then I've seen her down another two times although thankfully not setting off the alarm, I think this foal is certainly weighing on her at the moment... maybe she'll get inspired to spurt him out into the real world

I know you've threatened with the plunger Bree but maybe its time to get step it up with a vacuum cleaner, a dyson perhaps
Thor has finished day 2 of his meds... and if he keeps getting harder to catch for it then I don't know how we'll make it to day 5!!! Little turdburger!!!
I keep trying to spend time in there without the meds so he doesn't start hating me but he is smart enough to know that when I want cuddles I sit down and when I want to medicate him I stay standing... and I don't want to grab him when I'm sitting and ruin that.
Beauty is driving me MAD. She has been setting her alarm off by scratching on the fence. ALL. DAY.
She will be the death of me... it better be a bloody nice foal after all this

You have reached the live model decoy of Wings.
Wings will be pulling an all nighter and therefore, as the lack of sleep from the 4:30am start of today sets in she will no longer be responsible for anything she says, does, or threatens with evil super villian weaponry.
Have a nice day.

Goodluck tonight and I'll wait till someone else talks to you tomorrow morning before I do to make sure you're in an approachable mood.

Liquid has changed, it feels different and has a different tone although that is under torch light and not natural light. If anything her vulva is even looser now.
17 hours without sleep and counting.
