On Target Miniatures - foal updates December 2014

[AnnaC]

They often fluctuate a bit Mary, she looks fine to me. Also I have never seen a maiden mare with that size of udder plus that huge width of tummy unless she is pregnant! So no more talk of a possible false pregnancy - Dancer will present you with a beautiful baby just as soon as she has cooked it to perfection! She's just making it extra special for you.

Yep, "what goes in must come out" ROFL

Eyelashes seem to be taking a long time this year

or maybe she is making spots?

Be patient Mary, you will see your babies soon and we are here to keep you company. What's that I hear you saying? You would rather have a baby! ROFL

 

[targetsmom]

spots would be good......Pinto spots of course, not the "other" kind...

 

[Eagle]

ROFL maybe she is making stars instead of spots

 

Udder may have seemed more "full" but I think it's "wider and covering more udder-space" if you know what I mean. In that case, it would be logical to have it be a little "less".

I think she's doing just fine and HERE I'm praying for LOUD PINTO patterning!!

And that's only because YOU are so special!!

 

[cassie]

Aww Mary, everything will be fine, dancer will have her gorgeous little pinto baby when she is ready and we will be here waiting and watching till she does

) if you want to get some sleep Mary ill go do the banking early and make sure I'm here watching for you, tomorrow is a public holiday for us so I won't be as reliable, really hoping to take smartie out for a ride lol but I'm here today.... Not yet still snuggled inmy nice warm bed lol will be watching in about an hour

 

[Eagle]

Good morning sleepy head

pH update for the night as of 10:30 PM our time. Toffee's milk = pH 7.2 or higher

I was finally able to get a bit of milk from Dancer!!! Her udder feels full, but pH is at least 6.8-7,0

*************ETA: BUT I just read on Scott Creek's website that with a maiden, often you can't get milk from them until just hours before they foal!!!!

So, while Toffee appears to be waiting for the new alarm to arrive, Dancer could be thinking about doing something....

 

[cassie]

Yay progress!! The fact that you can now get milk from her maybe a sign she may got tonight

excitement! Both girls have been quiet and haven't seen them down at all...

 

[cassie]

Hehe we posted the at the same time you may get a baby tonight yet Mary

 

[targetsmom]

I just posted on MS and noticed that another mare named Dancer foaled tonight. So I posted on THAT thread, hoping that maybe I will get some extra eyes!

 

[cassie]

Haha here's hoping

I'm here though Mary and as soon as I see anything I will be straight on that phone! ps which no. Is best to call?

 

[targetsmom]

The 860-370-9035 is land line, 860-614-8720 is cell. BOTH are next to the bed, but of course only the cell will work if we are on the way to, or in the barn..

 

At 6.8 she could go tonight for sure! Getting very excited for you Mary! I'd let Peter know she's doing the "countdown" -- tell him to keep his slippers handy!

Come on Dancer!

 

[cassie]

Dancer down sternal, thanks for the numbers Mary

 

Cassie, did you see we've had 2 new babies tonight? JJ had a beautiful black filly, and Kankakee at Kinney's had a beautiful black pinto colt -- with a second mare testing at 6.0 !

I'm working on getting Pam's two girls to help set a new "Nutty Nursery" record, so come on Dancer -- join the fun!!!

 

[cassie]
