I also think Ashanti might just suprise you by being first - her teats look filled to the tips in the pictures, whereas Rivain still seems to have that last minute filling to do yet?
Sending good wishes for two safe, smooth foalings and two bouncing healthy babies!
Thanks guys, great to hear! I'm getting seriously excited now that we are so close.
Ashanti has been slightly withdrawn from the rest of the herd for most of the day, not largely isolated just keeping a bit of distance. She comes in and out for grooming sessions.
Rivain has been sulky the past few days, very tricky to catch and very impatient for me to hurry up and leave her alone again, she doesn't want any scratching or rubs.
I just got off the phone with Ashanti's old owner, Ashanti has never developed a large bag. She has filled her teats but her udder has always been quite small! Looks like Rivain and Ashanti are racign each other now!
Here's hoping! But at last check both are in amongst the other girls with normal behaviour, I don't take up close looks at their udders during the night checks, it's hard enough catching them during the day!
Not going to be able to update tomorrow morning as I am being dragged from the house (reluctantly, kicking and screaming!)and won't have time to update.
Come on girls....those of us whose mares have decided to wait and give us yearlings need new baby pics to tide us over!!!! I am expecting new foal pics from you two VERY soon!!!
