Marlanoc Foal Thread

Fantasy does a good impression of a beeched whale everytime she goes down to sleep

I had been worried about twins but then saw photos of her carrying her last filly... same big belly, one little filly!

 

[cassie]

WOW no wonder why you were stressed! she is HUGE!!!!

 

[Wings]

WOW!!! Fantasy looks like she could foal right away! I would have NEVEr guessed she has so long to wait! Those good old brood mares that don't lose their tummies are such fun to watch! They keep you guessing. Good thing you have some dates for her!

Thats the odd thing, she is a 6 year old and this is only her second foal!

I can only assume she holds a lot of fluid in there to fill out the belly, it will be interesting to see what her figure does after foaling since she isn't being rebred this year. I know she once had a figure!

Aww beautiful little Lyric just keeps getting better shes perfect

Looks like her and Aunty Ashanti are very close

and well Fantasy lol what can I say triplets

she certainly does the whole pregnant thing in a "BIG" way

its deff all go for you.. good luck

 

[Wings]

I've got a few local friends threatening to pinch Lyric

She's been a bit of a hit!

I can certainly see how foals pick up on their mum''s paddock positions, Rivain has stopped sharing when the food first comes out and drives the other girls off, Lyric always mimics her mum. The next few foals won't stand a chance against her!

 

[cassie]

haha poor little babies

funny girl. she is getting more n more beautiful!!

 

[Wings]

Thanks cassie, you'll have your own soon!

 

[lucky lodge]

Anyone had a mare and stallion that just don't click?

Jilla's in season, all the classic signs and I've seen her go through ti a few times so I know what to look for with her. So I bring her into Palli's yard, he tries to mount, she squeals because he is being rude and Palli just backs off....completly. They are back in with each other today but I swear they where more interested when there was a fence between them!!!

It's possible they are breeding while my back is turned but there is just zero interest whenever I'm out there!

I figured I'd run them together while she in season and then put her back with the other girls to wait and see if she comes back in.

Is it possible it's a pairing that is just not going to work?

 

[cassie]

can't help with that sorry Bree,

hoping you are having nicer weather then we are today! the wind is horrible!!

hoping she is taking to him!!

 

[Wings]

Weather is HORRID down here. Cold, windy, storming and gross!

Still turfed Palli out in the yards, no rugs with the mare! Not that they seem to have progressed

Also I think Rivain is coming in season soon so Palli is likely to focus on her instead.

Seriously tempted to just go back to paddock serving, let them sort it out for themselves!

 

[cassie]

lol makes it harder though doesn't it?! are you getting thunderstorms? wish we would!!! there is meant to be a cool change coming, but at the moment its blue skies n smoky haze I think they have been burning off! silly day to do it though!

 

[Eagle]

Bree anything is possible but I would say unlikely, I would probably think she just isn't ready. She could be a day too late or a day too early just wait and see. ( My boy likes to have sex at night) hahhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa I have them on cam and never see them "at it" but he gets them preggy

 

[cassie]

haha Renee!! I can so imagine it!

"right mum's gone to bed time to get to it!! can't have mum watching!!" LOL

[cassie]

:rofl

 

[cassie]

p.s shouldn't you be snoring by now Diane?! or did you sneak Volt in there with you again!

LOL

 

[Wings]

:rofl

Thanks guys! You always crack me up

Palli gave it another shot... but Jilla smacked him and he ran off! Shy stallions, they may be great to handle but it's a pain when the gutsy mares tell them off and they sulk!

If things warm up enough tomorrow I'll leave Palli out overnight, he has never bred while rugged and I hate having anything in the way that could cause problems anyway.

Well some good news tinged with bad. Dreamy spent today flashing classic heat signs at both stallions. When she was doing them more quietly a few days back she didn't want to sniff the stallions so we hoped it was a false heat and she would still deliver me that foal in December!

Today when we took her to Tinker she wanted in! Tinker did a textbook breeding.

Rivain has also started to flash soem flirty signs at Palli, he might get to make another Lyric soon!

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! Mares! Will they, wont they? Are they or are they not? Bless them - they do tease the boys so much at times.

 

[Wings]

Beauty is the worst, she'll tease them because someone ELSE is on heat

talk about confusing! No idea how I'll pick her actual heat!
