I’m sure there has to be a dedicated section in the psych ward for people with pregnant mares!
.
He could not be cuter!!!!!!!! What a blessing and certainly worth all the sleepless nights! I am so happy for you <3The one thing Tilly never did to me was play hide the baby. Drink wine, lots of wine, it might help
Here'are some pictures of Finn from this morning, it helped me to get a baby fix. He's a total introvert, very quiet now, I can't imagine how quiet he's going to be as an adult. His favorite activity is eating/sleeping/laying down while watching everyone else do things. He will sleep, wake up, go straight to the milk bar then when he's done just collapse his legs and lie down again. He goes for a run now and then and is enjoying exploring but I haven't even seen him buck yet. Very layed back.

Thank you! I'm completely in love. How's Sterling doing?
Is it me or is she unimpressed with the whole thing? Can't wait to hear what the vet says, hopefully she can get a good look. ) I will for sure update after the vet comes out! I hope to god I don’t hear “oh sorry, I made a mistake before, she’s open” or words to that effect.He is SO sweet and precious! This picture made my day!! I love that he isn't the typical black or brown paint too.The one thing Tilly never did to me was play hide the baby. Drink wine, lots of wine, it might help

I'm sure the vet won't say that, she sounded pretty sure when she checked her, but I would be worrying about the same thing.Lol I think she’s getting very much to the “I’m over it” stage! Everything seems to be more of an effort for her the past couple days, like she seems to have a “ugh ok, if I have to” attitude (can’t blame her - my middle child was a September baby so I know first hand what it’s like being fat and pregnant in the middle of Summer
Pregnant mares!!
Sterling is such a fun little thing. He was naughty this morning. He bit me on the butt. I did quickly turn around and pop him. Biting humans is not allowed. Besides that, he's practically perfect. He is very tame and gentle. He's shedding his baby fur and looking a bit rough. Sorry, this is not the best pic but the most recent.
Hahaha! Yes, colts bite, bad boys. He tried the sneak attack
Sally looks great!! How old is Sterling now? He looks like he might end up small, they normally have most of their height by the time they're 4 months. What a cute bum!!
Just went outside and took a few more pictures. They aren't much better.
Pretty boy! They look good to me, I'm the queen of bad pictures
Yes. I try to take pictures almost every evening at around the same time.

OK, so not that small, I've completely lost track of time
. I always think lice when they get really itchy, it sounds nasty but is really easy to get rid of and they feel better after one treatment. A medicated bath can only help
.There is no such thing as a silly question. What I found in my vast experience with two foals(
) was that the whole back end gets soft to a point depending on the mare, yup, here we go again with your mare may do this. Jello butt, love the name, is more beside the vulva. Tilly got so soft I could take two fingers and gently wiggle the back of her thigh and it was like a bowl of jello the last couple of weeks. She was soft but not as soft all the way up and around her tail head. They can sink around their tail head to look like they do when they are really thin, the tail head sticking out. The last couple of days Tilly got a line from her tail head back along her croup where it was sunken. Izzy on the other hand got a bit softer in her whole 1/4's but that was it. When I say 1/4's I mean the top and down to their gaskin, not the sides so much. As far as I can tell jello butt is pretty normal especially towards the last week or two, if they read the book. Is that clear? Let me know I can try to say it better. Please correct that if anyone disagrees or wants to add more.
or similar.
