Peanut Blessed me with a

[LittleRibbie]

Im secretely hoping that Peanut doesnt end up w/a gray and white too..dont tell her that.I know Im going to love it no matter..its just I'd prefer black

Renee, If you dont mind

Im going to go lay down and Skiff has his clock set for 4 AM. Peanut looks fine right now. I know her mask is falling on one side but its on loose and no big deal if it falls off..I think her pony tail is holding it up.Thanks for keeping an eye on her, its very much appreciated.

Martys cards arrived...Ill PM you later today

 

[Eagle]

of course I don't mind. Sweet dreams

Morning all.

As you said Renee - only two pages to read through!

I'm sorry you had the worry about that fire Heidi, not nice to be able to smell smoke but not know where it's coming from!

Peanut looks 'contemplative' at the moment, as if she's making plans??? It also looks as though she is spreading her dropping piles anywhere she feels like it, rather than her special corner.

 

[Eagle]

3.35am and she is down right by the door. Her routine has changed so much over the past month!

4.05am and she is up!!!! wow that was a long rest for her

 

[Eagle]

4.40am and she is down again, this time near her water bucket

4.48am and she is up again

 

[AnnaC]

5.15am and all quiet on the Peanut front - just a bit of shifting of feet and the odd itchy scratchy!

I am a little late getting on this morning and thought I might have 10 pages of homework to read but thankfully it was only a couple so I am all caught up.

Peanut does still look more restless then normal. And as for eating both my mares waited till they had their dinner and hay before foaling. Slaney came in the night she foaled ate her dinner and munched away quietly on her hay. My husband was home and he said do you think she will go tonight and I said probably not as she was way to calm and relaxed well she made a total liar out of me as once she finished her hay she suddenly got very restless and withing 25 mins had foaled. So even in their calmness and the fact that they are eating they can also fool you.

 

[Eagle]

she went down again for a quick rest but is now up

 

[cassie]

poor little Peanut! must be so sick of that baby inside her

anytime now baby girls is good for ALL of us!!

hope you had a good sleep Heidi!! you deserve it!

 

[Eagle]

I hope you had a nice sleep Heidi. It is 7.15am and I am off to clean my chips

 

[LittleRibbie]

hubby let me sleep late while he fed horses

now Im all confused..on what to do.well it just started to sprinkle and the temp just dropped about 10o it actually feels nice. think I'll let the nut out of her stall and she if she that will help her to crack.

Thanks guys very much for watching her last night. Skiff said he only saw her lay down once around 5/6 and it sound like not much while Renee was watching....I dont know why but I think she is going to foal early morning like around 6 am....most likely Sept.!!

 

[bannerminis]

Well she is back in and Heidi she looks like she was enjoying her block of ice (thats what I am guessing it is)

 

[AnnaC]

Is that your hubby Heidi - I have caught him in with Peanut a couple of times today. Early this morning he was doing a really good job of giving scratches, plus he also popped Peanut's fly mask back over her ear for her, bless him.

He's in there again now, more scratches and Peanut is just loving it.

 

[Eagle]

I can't wave good night to nutty cos she is out playing. Lol

Heidi have you changed the time before the cam swaps view or is it my connection being slow.

Night all and be good

 

[LittleRibbie]

Renee funny you mentioned that...does it seem alot slower to you? It does to me and i just figured I was wacko...but I think it is slower. No I didnt touch it, it should be the same as always...I was cleaning the tack/feed room and perhaps i moved it by accident when I was dusting...i'll have to check. Sorry i didnt get much of a chance to chat today but I hope you enjoyed your Sunday. does your hubby have Sundays off too...nice family day. I let all horses run loose in the yard today...they had a blast...reminded me of watching your chips charging around. They got to lovin the nice grass....well weeds but dont tell them. Felt bad for peanut...she was stuck in her tiny pasture and kept folowing them around her pasture and whinnied when she couldnt see them.

Better go round them up now and give Nicky a chance as well. It sprinkled for a while today so it stayed alittle cooler which was nice.

Anna, yes thats my husband Skiff..he prefers his horse power to be motorcycles but he's really good to all our animals..I hear him telling clients and his friends about watching Peanut on MS and telling them how to watch it so I know he's pretty excited. Well I have to run and give Nicky a little time to take over the yard. I know your in bed already but hope you have/had a nice sleep and will see you later. I think Dianes mare may have foaled b/c I havent seen her on here much today...I hope so!!

cassie, every time I see Suzi in her stall I am so jealous...the straw I had down never looked as comfy as Suzis...I gave up and replaced it all w/shaving but boy do I love watching your little snuggle bunny...even if she is boring while sleeping

 

[cassie]

haha thanks Heidi

I need to do a total relay of her bedding on thursday arvo, I don't know if I want to go back to shavings now, she looks so cute in the straw lol but I prob will as we get it for FREE LOL

I will be keeping an eye on Peanut today

how is she looking Heidi? did you see the pics I put up on Suzie?

 

[LittleRibbie]

after dipping or spaying babies navel does any one also do the hoofs..if so

1. Can I use the same stuff

2. Do you dip the hoof in a cup or just pat it on the bottom w/cotton ball

3. Do I have to wait till slippers fall off

4. Is one time enough or is it done once a day

 

[cassie]

are you going to iodine, the babies naval? I have heard mixed ideas about doing it or not doing it...

not sure about the hooves thing,

is your time right on your camera? I just always thought that it was later your time right now... but I could be wrong. LOL

 

[LittleRibbie]

Hi Cassie, Im pretty much 100% sure the navel must be done or very very highly recommended...its a pathway for germs. I think the only thing that is up for opinions/options would be a prefered method or iodine or benadine or another solution

I think....but again, lets wait for a more experienced opinion!!

 

[cassie]

yep ok agree with you there, I am happy to do whatever is best for the foal... I have just emailed my friend who has been breeding mini's for years asking her if I should... haven't heard back yet but I will let you know when I do with what she says....

I thought it was best to do it, then another breeder said not too... so I am very curious, I have iodine in my foaling kit in case, but yeah it will be good to find out!

Thanks Heidi!!
