The shape of her belly, I thought that she might have foaled and didn't have any colostrum and the baby had died. BUT I didn't fine a baby or anything like that. So we are good! She got her feet trimmed today and they look so much better!! The good news is her udders (I think) are getting bigger!
Penny's foaling thread.....SHE IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

No baby yet. But her vulva is super relaxed, I mean to the point of its kinda hanging open! Has been like this sense yesterday. Her bag is a little bigger I think. She has been really biting her sides for the past few days. And by and on her bag has been sweating.

The biting her sides is quite normal, as the momma's get a bit "testy" when babies start making their final moves. But it all sounds like she's moving ahead. Keep us posted!

I agree Hayley - he really cant resist getting in front of the camera can he, bless him!
I still think we need to see more udder development in Penny before she's ready to foal, but she does look very relaxed in her vulva so maybe she will develop her milk bar as she foals?

Oh man, if he sees my Ipod (what I have been taking pics with.. Cant find my cameras charger!) He is like "oh, is this side good? Hold on I will turn, heres my pouty face! Work it, come on don't take pics of Penny, take them of me!" So when I take the pics of penny instead of him he butts in, hoping to get his pics taken!
So who wants to bring over the plunger??
LOL! I am thinking the same thing Anna, I don't think she is going to bag up until she foals. But should I get the number of the lady who sells colostrum just incase? I hope she just hurries up and pops this baby out!!
Hello Aunties! So I think her bag might be a tiny bit bigger, but I am not for sure. Snowball sends kisses for the aunties! And Mousie takes a partial bow! What do you guys think of her conformation? Mousie that is
I think her belly might look different today (Penny). Thoughts? Spam me with thoughts!

Yes, at last I can see a slight increase in her udder!!
Her tummy is slowly changing shape too, but I still think you have a way to go yet before she foals. In fact I would hazzard a guess of around 3 to 4 weeks as both her udder and her tummy are showing the perfect shape for a mare approx a month away from foaling or thereabouts - in my opinion!!
Will be interested to hear what the others think??

Sounds right to me!!
I was talking to the lady who owned her before me and she said that it might have been mid-late september that she was bred! I kinda really wanted to shoot something when she said that. I think that I am the only one left waiting for a baby.

Nope, I'm still waiting, but now I'm thinking she might be open. She was with the stallion til late Oct, so I haven't totally given up hope, but mostly resigned myself to the fact that she is probably now open and just fat.

And you're not alone! Our Australian babies are getting ready, so you're in good company. You'll be laughing your socks off when Bree starts her "watching" madness! It's a great time!! She's a hoot when she gets tired of waiting!!

When I see photos of Penny it reminds me of where Sweety was earlier in the year. I think what Anna said sounds about right or I'd even hazard a guess to say longer if she's anything like Sweety was, altho that probably doesn't really work with your dates. Either way, I hope she puts you out of your misery soon
When do the Australian babies start showing up?!?! Fingers crossed that she is not just fat! Yes, hopefully she puts me out of my misery. AND on top of it all, Mousie is a bit lame! So no riding for me
and no baby to play with
they are all evil I tell you! Keeping those babies all to themselves is just selfish!!

Bree's thread is Marlanoc Round Four - she's in Aussieland and we are just starting the countdown on her foaling mares. We are waiting on new pics (hint hint Bree if you are reading this!) so you will be able to compare them with Penny's progress which might help. But do come and join in the fun on the thread as we watch Bree turn slowly into a complete Zombie as her girls play games with her. LOL!!
Sorry to hear that Mousie is lame - any idea what has caused it?

Lol! I went over and said hello
I think her lameness has to do with the corrective trimming to get her feet back into semi-normal (or better). I have been battling with her and her bad feet for over 4 years. She has had bad feet for longer than I had her.
