Ridges - ITS PINK!!!

[Wings]

Anytime, I'm far from an expert but I've learnt a fair bit from my herd (and a few expert friends!) so always happy to share!

Photos from this morning. Hooha still long but wouldn''t relax today. Probably from the chilly wind that was blowing straight up her, ah its like Wuthering Heights here today. Will be going to get foal blanket this arvo just incase foal decides to show up.

 

[cassie]

wow that baby looks like it could drop right out of that hooha! better watch her carefully... she is filling that udder a fair bit now so won't be long

I know what you mean about the wind... autumn has finally decided to come... no more summer weather for us

don't forget to turn your clocks back tomorrow night!

When I first read your last statement, Cassie, I had to double check to make sure it wasn't from last year!! Here we are in Spring, and it took me a second to realize you are halfway across the globe and in another hemisphere!! Haha!!

 

[countrymini]

yeah, small world on the internet.

 

[cassie]

hahaha Amy! ROFL

I bet it would confuse you if I was complaining about 30 degree heat!!! lol I sure get confused when you guys are freezing at 20 degrees Farenheight LOL fun and games

 

[amystours]

Haha! Yeah, we are weird over here! Still buy milk and gas by the gallon, temperatures are in Fahrenheit...would be nice if it was all universal, but of course we are slow to adopt a new system. Of course we were taught the formula for translating Fahrenheit to Celsius (or do you call it Centigrade???), but it's one of those things we don't really use. I will tell you, learning to change weight from pounds came in handy, because meds are based on how much the animal weighs in kilograms!

Oh yeah, what is an "arvo (avro? )"?? Is that akin to our "afternoon"? Lol

 

[countrymini]

Yep, arvo is our afternoon haha

Still no baby here.

 

[lexischase]

Any update, and new pictures?!

 

[countrymini]

Fraid not. Didn't post the photos from today as they looked the same as yesterday. Actually that is a fib, her hooha looks tighter than yesterday

She is pressing her butt this arvo rather than rubbing, that might be something.

Is there any evidence that connects foaling time with the time in previous days where a mare has been uncomfortable? Sweety has been agro (pacing, helicopter tail, alert) between 8 and 10pm for almost a week and I was wondering if this means she''d go into labour at that time of night. (wouldnt that be awesome!!!) Anyone had this happen?

 

[Eagle]

No sorry, What time does she eat her dinner?

 

[countrymini]

Usually 6pm. Do you think its from lack of room? Maybe I should start giving her lunch as well and make smaller meals.

Just went fed and checked her and her vulva is floppy again. Opened very wide but still pink, no red yet.

 

[Eagle]

does she get both hay and grain at 6 pm?

 

[countrymini]

Lucerne chaff and oats. I give her chaff and grain in the morning.

 

[Eagle]

try giving her half the amount and the rest a little later, maybe she is eating too much and then getting belly ache.

 

[countrymini]

OK, will do, thanks

 

[Wings]

Sweety I'm bored

Foal to amuse me!

Now if only that would work....

:rofl

She is looking good though! Nicely on track for her mid April due date

 

[countrymini]

I already tried telling her that Bree. Never knew horses could roll their eyes

329 days today, no changes.

 

[Gone_Riding]

My mare is more active between 3 AM and 10 AM and has been for about two weeks. I've been wondering the same thing, if that's when she's more likely to deliver... I guess we won't know until they deliver.

 

[countrymini]

Day 330 today! Is this the normal average due date for minis? Should I tell her?

Took two photos of her vulva today. One the flash didn''t go off then the second one it did. Was looking through the photos and YAY!!! Vulva is darker!!!! then the one with the flash looks pretty pink still lol. Do you reckon there''s red spots in there tho???
