Hello ladies
I think Penny's bag has grown a little bit. No baby at her hip, but her Vulva was very relaxed. As you can (hopefully) see in the 2nd pic. Sorry about the fact that they aren't straight on view. Anybody see any change?? If so you wanna tell me what it is?!?! I am going crazy over here!

I am going crazy over here!I think her udder MIGHT have increased a little - just been back to look at the first pics that you posted of her and am now not sure that there is much of an increase!
But, looking at those pictures, I have to congratulate you - what a transformation, she's looking fantastic! Well done you!
Now all we need is to see this foal that she's hiding from us!!!!!

No baby this morning. I was just looking at some of the pics of her udders from a couple weeks ago and I noticed that she had 3 wrinkles in her bag. And now she has 2, this is not a huge change but its better than nothing (I think). Thanks! I have been working on getting her back in shape! She looks much better
So Friday the farrier will come out and clip them. I kinda really hope that she foals before he comes out!!

Yes, even one less wrinkle shows she is moving ahead steadily, and that's just fine!! I think she and Sweety are just trying to fool with us! Come on ladies, we're ready and anxious to see these special little ones!!
No baby, she is miserable though! It's like 90-95 here with humidity of 80-95%? That equalls some really really hot, sweaty horses. The only one who isn't sweating is Snowball, he loves the heat apparently! Penny has been biting/nudging her sides when I was out there. She did it approximately 3 times in 10-15 mins. I gave her a cool down "bath" so she feels better now. Her stool is loose and her Vulva is very loose. Pics soon!

Poor girl
Snowball must have an African goat somewhere in his family history lol

Make sure that Snowball CAN sweat. Feel under the "armpits" and see if you feel some dampness. Humor the old lady -- I worry about horses that don't sweat as it can be life threatening, and I've almost lost 2 that way -- when suddenly one year at different times they both stopped their ability to sweat then crashed, and almost "burned". But we were able to save them both that year by stalling them under fans and mist to bring their body temperatures down.
One never did regain her "sweating" and I had to place her up north. The other had a bad summer, and then was fine the next year. Don't know what caused it, or why one resolved, but I'm alway "wary" of horses that don't have some sweat on them somewhere!! LOL

Lol hayley. I checked Diane, he had sweat! Just enough to make my hand shine in the light! Here are the pictures I promised! The dog is Maggie aka Fish, the reason for the nickname Fish is a long story. She has photo bombed a few of my other pics before.
look at penny's belly in the first pic, there is something very different about it. I think it's the position of the belly. From the back she no longer looks like a beached whale!

If she's looking slimmer, than perhaps baby is lining up to get the "show on the road" for you!!
Fish looks like there is not a care in his world!!

Well, you-know-who always threatens to get a plunger out -- but she'll go when she's ready. So, until then....we wait! Not patiently, if you don't want to, but we're here to wait with you, if that's any comfort!!
This is when we need Heidi and her limericks etc to help us pass the time!! Perhaps we should take bets on who will foal first out of Penny and Sweety, plus of course we have a new little mare to worry about on the forum now.
Ok to start it off, I'm sorry but I think Sweety will foal first! And I'll guess Sept 5th.

Why the 5th Anna? I can't last another week!!!
I'm guessing Sweety too, nothing against Penny, I'm just over it
