Marlanoc Foal Thread

[Wings]

Thanks Anna, I'm hoping my double dilute colt puts in an appearence soon.

Photos from this morning:







She needs to fill up a bit more at the bottom of her udder.

 

[cassie]

WOW she is so ready to go!!!

won't be long now!!! I see the wax!! within the next two days I reckon!

have you got the alarm on her??

 

[MeganH]

Wow! She sure does look ready! Can't wait to see the foals!

 

[Eagle]

wow, look at that tummy

I say tonight or tomorrow

 

[Wings]

Well she made it through the night no problems, I haven't checked her this morning as she has been having a snooze and I don't want to wake her yet but I will take some new shots

I'm really hoping for a foal by the end of the week but she very well could stretch into week if she feels like it!

 

[Wings]

Probably a matter of time before I get moved as well but for now I hope you all find me over here

Twinky updates!





As you can see it's perfect foaling weather

The following shots are taken almost 24 hours apart. They are composites of last night's photos and tonight's photos. they are labeled as such.





You can see some exciting progress! She's filling closer to her teats now. If I really compare her to last year's shots she is still a bit off, but it is at the stage where I'm glad I have the alarm on her!

:rofl

I've been so lucky with Twinky. She's a solid, textbook little mare. Not a tricky little thing! Plus I don't even have to catch her to check her udder, she just lets me. Total sweetheart

 

[AnnaC]

Great comparison pics!

She's certainly moving - almost there if she follows what you say is her normal pattern.

I think she may well win the foaling race!! I wouldn't be leaving home if I was you or you might find a welcoming suprise on your return. LOL!!

 

[lucky lodge]

how she looking now any change

 

[AnnaC]

Keeping my fingers crossed for a little colt!

 

[Wings]

Feels like there's a little more in her udder this morning! Will get a better look when they've all finished eating.

 

[cassie]

[lucky lodge]

Lets have a chat chat chat chat chat LOLOLOLOLOLOL

still no baby i would of thought miss twinks would of foaled by now

come on miss twinks we all need a foal fix

 

[Wings]

Twinky is acting a little funny today, I really feel like we're in the last stretch! Of course that last stretch could be a day or a week

Udder definetly feels a bit harder and I can get some liquid from her teats now. I only squeezed out a drop since I forgot to restock on my ph strips

and it was looking yellow and felt sticky. Her hoohaa is long and very relaxed and her belly is definetly doing the sagging thing. She spends little time on the ground so hasn't been setting the alarm off a lot.

Personally, I think she'll fill that udder a little more. Tomorrow she hits day 320 and I would be suprised if she went tonight. I'm still hoping for a bub this week but I still won't rule out her holding on until next week!

 

[lucky lodge]

wow another week what hope does sweety have then

could be another month then

:No-Sad

:No-Sad

:No-Sad

for sweety

 

[Wings]

Remember I have the advantage of foaling this mare down before and having good records from her previous owners. I know she bags up big, I know she develops slowly. Some mares may race the final changes and the foal comes flying out

:rofl Twinky will take it step by step with no huge suprises thrown in. Still, I'm not relying on the exact same pattern which is why she's already wearing her alarm.

She's doing a fair bit of rolling today, set the alarm off three times. Maybe little Mr Colt is getting into the right position?

 

[Lindi-loo]

:yeah Getting very excited here..Come On Twinky

:yeah

 

[AnnaC]

"might go another week" Oh no, we cant have that!! Come on Twinky, give your Mum a break and get your little colt born in the next day or two........we are all waiting.
