Missy **COLT** 5/5 , Joint ill - Keep him in your prayers

[bannerminis]

He is a beautiful boy and love that little head he has.

I think udder will be driving people to the bottle this yr LOL. Will be interesting to see how she is today

 

[targetsmom]

Congrats - he is lovely!! Did you post any measurements??

 

[Eagle]

He is adorable and I love his colour.

karina I think you might be right there

 

[Becky]

Mary, no I haven't measured him yet. I'm guessing he was probably around 19 - 20" at birth. Probably will mature between 30" - 32". I'm waiting for him to fill out some more before I reassess. However, I just might put a stick on him tonight when I bring him and his mom in for the night.

I'll take some new udder pics of Love Chant this afternoon and ya'll can give me your opinion.

 

[Becky]

Here's a new pic of Love Chant's udder from this afternoon. Can you say non impressive?? She's going in reverse!

 

[Becky]

Well, Diane, that's about the only thing I can say about her right now.

I hope she made more changes overnight, although, I also hope she now holds off just a bit longer as I am going to a horse show for the day tomorrow and I don't need any surprises and don't want to have to worry! I will only be gone for the day, so at least that part is good. She is only 306 days today and holding off a while longer won't hurt my feelings at all!

Good luck with being gone 'just for the day.' LOL I did that last Tuesday, and my experienced broodmare foaled outside with a couple of other broodmares! She has never foaled during the daytime............since we have owned her, anyway. These mares are just so sneaky!!

Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day out!

 

[Becky]

Here is Love Chant's udder this morning. Definitely on the upswing again. I haven't checked her this afternoon, but I hope she holds out another 24 hours. Then she can start getting serious.

 

[Eagle]

Any updates?? has she been shopping?

 

[Becky]

Love Chant had an even larger udder this morning, but it was soft. I just returned from the show and all is well. I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't foal sometime this weekend. Not tonight, but soon. I will update with new pictures tomorrow.

Whew! I'm tired!

 

[Charlotte]

I bet you are exhausted. thank goodness Frank decided to skip that one.

I hope Love Chant is kind to you tonight and then foals Saturday night. I can't wait to see this baby!

 

[Eagle]

That is good news, I agree Charlotte, lets hope she foals tomorrow morning

 

[Becky]

Here is Love Chant's udder today. Close....... Soon I hope!

 

[bannerminis]

A big improvement over the shrinkage but still a lot of filling to be done. Will be interesting to see how quickly she buys her groceries. Very exciting and fingers crossed for another baby this weekend

 

[Becky]

LOL This coming week would be nice.

 

[Becky]

I have another mare, Missy, coming along too. She is at 318 days today. Love Chant is 309.

I'll try to take some body pics of both today and post.

 

[Becky]

Here are pictures from today. First is Love Chant. Not too impressive today. Taking her time about bagging up. First two pictures.

Then there is Missy. Her udder from today. She's a ways off yet.

And a picture of both mares in the pasture today.

 

[Becky]

Love Chant is baffling to say the least. Yesterday morning, her udder was huge! Full, flat on the bottom, sticking out between her back legs. I thought she would tighten up and be ready to foal last night. Nope, udder went WAY down during the day. This morning, back some but not as big as yesterday morning. She's kept that amount during the day today and this afternoon/evening there is some firmness to it. Not hard and tight, but 'firmish'. Now, I wonder what she is going to do??

She is full of surprises, that's for sure!

 

[Becky]

Love Chant didn't set the pager off any last night. That's a first. The night before it was 7+ times. I lost count (and sleep)! I hope this morning will finally show her close to foaling.

 

[Eagle]

sounds like she is getting closer
