I'm betting end of March but I hope it's this week for you.
I say this because today she was very slack in her rump, kept holding her tail up slightly (all day, it never went back down) lots of peeing but don't know if that's anything. Baby turned around, see video:

Who knows, she's had two previously so this one may just appear!

If you think baby has turned, please take 2 pictures -- one from the back looking down the sides, and a full on side view, so we can see where baby is laying. If you think things are progressing quickly, look for lots of cow patty manure, as she will clean out her system before she foals. If you can get a 'privates' shot, let's see how she's elongated.
Getting excited for you!

Lots of movement today and last night. Foal seems to kick when I talk which is pretty cool!
Teats have gone down?! Which is disappointing as started to think we were getting somewhere. She is carrying to the left so hasn't turned just wriggled about I think. Will get pictures later

Haven't posted properly for a while. Missy's teats have gone down which is a shame as I really thought she was starting. Lots of movement though and a very Pee'ed off pony!
Here are some photo's taken from the other day and today (Blurry ones are the other day)

So pretty and she's got a big belly for sure!!! If it makes you feel any better I was sure Madeline was about to foal and now I'm convinced she's a couple of weeks out. I'm always impatient to have them on the ground and it's hard waiting. I've fallen in love with Misty!
I think i'm just impatient too! Day 325 today, so i'm guessing it could be any day really?

I'm still going to say end of March. I think that's when Madeline is going to foal too. I wouldn't think before 330 days and she didn't look ready to me but let the other more experienced Aunties give their opinions. They know so much more than I do.
It looks as though baby hasn't quite dropped/moved forwards into the foaling position, so I would think that you have a little while to go yet. It sounds as though her udder development is right on course for foaling in a week or so, but I would still be watching her very closely as things can change quickly plus you dont know her past foaling history - she maybe a 'quick mover' or a 'slow steady progress' type of pregnant mare and unfortunately they are all different!! LOL!!

Don't worry about not seeing movement. As they near delivery, there is seldom any movement or very little at all, since baby really doesn't have much space for moving around. So, lack of foal movement is not alarming -- no worries!
Such a pretty little momma-to-be -- just a little more time!!

I wouldn't worry - as Diane says, any movement is a lot less or none at all the closer they get to delivery - I think of it as the baby being held 'still/stable' in the foaling position ready to go when labour starts. I certainly wouldn't want to see a foal zooming around and kicking out like mad at this stage, we dont want a loose cannon plunging around in there!!

You better give that baby LOTS of hugs upon delivery, just for letting you know that all was well! Now, not to worry again if you don't feel movement. Not much room left in there for any antics!
Baby will have unlimited cuddles don't you worry!

Belly pics!
Love the dozy pony pic - a happy contented girl! She's moving along in a nice steady way, just perfect! Hope you are enjoying the lovely sunshine we are having right now - boy we certainly deserve it dont we!
Certainly loving the sun!!
