That's a pregnant belly if ever I've seen one
Not sure how long but I don't think you will be waiting as long as you did with snickers. 
She's been letting me get udder pictures at times. Depends on her mood! I'll be out there in a bit here and see where she's at. I sure hope her disposition gets better after the foaling (Snickers is so much sweeter now!). I don't blame them. I was a bit cranky too at the end of my pregnancies! Then I get to figure out tech stuff with cameras as my kiddo just took off for the evening. GRR...teenagers!That's a pregnant belly if ever I've seen one
Even though its hard to get too close to her , try and get a sneaky look at her udder when you can as you may notice the start of some development
Still a ways to go. Sometimes it's getting there and then disappears. Then comes back again the next day. Had a V belly last night but nothing now, just a round, dropped ball look.
She's still hanging on to that baby! (and driving her human crazy in the process!) Everything is coming along nicely and she looks ready to go often, but then takes it back. She has had several V belly days and then it disappears by the next day. Beginning to wonder if she isn't just fully enjoying getting totally spoiled with all the attention, her own huge comfy stall, etc. Just worried about winter coming with a baby on the way!!
So, In August this poor girl looked REALLY pregnant. Here she is on Nov 17. She is absolutely huge. (Although a very thick coat of winter hair has come in). Udder still not fully developing (at least as far as I know...I've been really sick and forgot my camera last couple of times I intended to take pictures...sorry!) Any thoughts? Her breathing is somewhat labored over the past couple of weeks. In August, She used to get "stuck" trying to get up from lying down position and has figured out to rock herself a few times before jumping to her feet. She's a former brood mare (well, I guess not so former anymore) so belly is likely pretty stretched out. Her belly shape changes a lot. A lot of belly activity so I know there's a baby in there. Not much history other than that. She is literally starting to look like a cow. Vet has not looked at her since she and Snickers were checked three months before Jasper was to arrive. Per vet at that time Snickers was only 3 months pregnant (but would have had to beat least 6 months along per birth date). When he checked Pepper on that day he said she was not pregnant. Jasper is 7 months tomorrow.
Sorry about picture placement here! This is her udder the same evening. Hard to see with all her hair. Any thoughts??? Thanks!
The first is July 8. The second one is Oct 2.
Pepper's sides have narrowed considerably. No other changes. Maybe she's waiting for Spring! Her belly has "V'd" so many times I've lost count. I don't think she's quite ready though. Udder comes and goes. Ugh! Just terrified she's going to foal at the worst possible time of year and no barn, just a run in. I can really only keep her dry when stalled. It's quite basic really. Snow and ice and winds are here now. At least 6 more inches to fall this weekend. Am I the only one who hates winter?! Taz, Izzy will be first! ❄She def has some work to do on that udder , but that may not happen till foaling. If she's one of those mares that doesn't bag up prior to foaling, then I would be watching she shape of her stomach as an indication she is getting closer. If she is massive and her sides are visibly sticking out when you are standing behind her , keep watching for her to be visibly less noticeable from behind. I also find change in temperament and personality an indication she is getting closer
UGH...I've decided she's either NEVER going to have this baby OR there's more than one baby--YIKES! OR she swallowed someone....All are possible!! She's getting so big that on some days her belly almost reaches the ground and then other days hardly looks pregnant, is slab sided, v'd, the whole nine yards. I will be on foal watch forever I'm afraid. I think Taz may be right in that she showed right away...but who knows? Just keep watching and waiting...and waiting...and waiting...One thing I'm certain of---there is somebody in there! Just don't know when the grand entrance will be
