I know!
But I'm assuming when Bindi finally gets bit and starts baging up that I will learn patience as when the other horses on here start bagging ever day seems like a two week wait

I reckon she's black based. Possibly with varnish to get that roaning
I have two registered as 'brown' one is Dreamy who I think I'll colour test to know whats he is because I think Thor is the same. The other is Jilla, I wish I'd taken the time to have her tested but I need her rego'd in time to go on a stallion report so I just went with what her old owners called her.

It'll be interesting to see what she looks like when all her winter coat is gone in a few months, but already her pinto markings on her body are lighter than the photos from April. I forgot to show you this photo of her, also in April, when I first brought her home and it was pouring rain and she was completely soaked.

Well she looked white and fluffy when she was dry but this colour when she was wet. So there must be that colour closer to her skin lol
She reminds me of my old girl Petal who has looked solid white (and I mean white) since I got her as a 4 year old. Imagine my suprise when her summer coat arrived and in the rain she was suddenly half white and half 'pink' roan! And this roan never faded - even last summer at the age of 23 the roan was still there when she was soaking wet.

"Horse changes colour when wet" - good for marketing
Bit of a downpour today and Bindi's fur was sitting down so I got some more clearer photos of her tummy. Had some tummy movement during feeding today, lots of big kicks. Got hubby to have a look and explained the normal rhythmic breathing and muscles movements she normally has, then "see that?!" every time there was a major jolt. He saw them too, so there has to be a baby!!!
And here's Sweety. Not sure how quick the protien from the oats and lucerne would take to kick in but its been just over a week and her tummy is looking a LOT better.
(and Diane she's been rolling in the mud, I'm not trying to do your head in with another colour sweety can appear to be
)

She was with Wazza from January 2012 through to April. She's not very big tho so maybe we might have to wait till March lol

Just realised if theres only a few months left till Bindi pops, I'd better get my foaling kit organised. Can someone give me their list that covers everthing you'd need. We have a kit for the goats, but I'm assuming there might be different things needed for the minis. Thanks
Off the top of my head (so I might miss something)
My kit has:
Bottle of pre diluted vetadine for washing hands
Bottle of vet lube in case I have to go in
Can of cetrigen for spraying the stump
Heavy duty peg for clamping the cord if I need to cut
Scissors for cutting (ALWAYS clean and always sprayed with cetrigen just in case)
Sharp clean knife in case I can't tear the bag
Many towels for wrapping the placenta and rubbing baby down if needed (didn't bother this year and left it to the mum's)
Extra torches
Up in the shed I have foal rugs, more towels, painkillers, wormer. I have a stable ready, or all the stuff needed to make it ready on hand. Next season I'm hooking my phone up to a bluetooth so I don't need a hand free to call for help.
Clothing wise I mostly wear singlets and a vest, only one jacket with sleeves and it isn't zipped up. I can strip very quickly to go in if I have to!

ha, I'd never heard of cetrigen spray. Hubby gets a small cup of betadine and holds it up under the goats belly to soak the stump. Wel actually he gets me to do it coz he's always at work when their born. If only I'd known lol. Thanks for the info, will start to pack a box full of goodies (exciting!!)
My kit is very much set up for solo foaling, so fussing about with iodine dips is sooo not the way I want to go!
Cetrigen is WAY easier and if I ever run out I have more stocked in my first aid kit.

After seeing the great shots of Cocoa I decided I'd better start taking shots of Bindi so I can see progress as she gets further along. These are from today and there is tummy finally starting to poke out the sides in the bum shot!! From her dates with Wazza she is between 305 and 213 days in foal.
Getting a bit fatter
Nothing of interest from the back. She was in a bit of a mood this arvo so I didn't lift her tail for a hoohah shot.
Her udder is still not doing anything but the part i've marked looked different to normal. Haven't looked for a while but this bit looked rounder? Might be just that I can see it now her fur has shed a bit.

They are our Boer goats. Bred for meat but we haven't had the chance to try it yet as the kids get so attached to the babies lol. We've sold most from the last kidding but those two in our photo are staying as they are just too beautiful. Queenie is the little lady on the left and Superman is a little buck on the right. We thought his mum was going to have triplets for sure, she was so big. But then he came out, bigger than our 4 week old girl. We had a few at the start of the year but sold a few does and kids, so now we have our big buck, three does and the two littlies in the picture.

How long is a MAIDEN mare capable of hiding her tummy for? Or what was the latest month any of your maiden girls started hanging out the sides? MUST INCLUDE PICTURES
