She's really doing great! I know it's not "fast enough" -- but everything is moving ahead as it should -- so we will be expecting a healthy little one once SHE decides she's ready!!
Give her a big belly squeeze from Auntie Diane -- and tell her I'm really looking forward to SPOTS if she would be so kind......

Yep, it is a gorgeous Anzac day here thanks Cassie. Hope yours is just as lovely
How soon?? That is the million dollar question that many brood mare owners would pay to have the answer to! LOL!!
She's certainly moving steadily in the right direction, so she could continue her slow progress or, at this stage, she could move forward very fast. Sorry, but only she knows the answer, and she's not telling us!!
Cant wait for that poem Renee!

Thats what I thought Anna. Bit like the "Is my mare pregnant?'' question lol
Checked her vulva just now while she was having dinner and it isn''t red but has blue veins visable that weren't there this morning. Is this ok?

Beautiful morning here. Day 348. Do you guys still want photos or should I do them every couple of days unless there's a change?
Every couple of days or so would give us a better chance of seeing any changes.
Blood veins can look blue/purplish in colour. Have you got her stabled at night (sorry cant remember!) - this can be useful (apart from of course being essential for when they foal) because when stalled at night the udder will often seem very full in the morning, whereas at the end of a day outside the exercise reduces it somewhat. When the udder is still tight and full at the end of the day outside, it is one of the signs that they can be close to foaling, so can be useful!
Of course maiden mares can do anything they please it seems, so she could foal at any time. Are you set up so you can sit up with her overnight once she gets a little bit closer or even from now on, given her dates. Plus is she close to the house during the daytime and is there someone always around (if you are not there) to keep doing regular checks? Sorry again, but I cant remember your set up!

Thats fine Anna.
Shes in a grassy yard with the stall during the night which is literally 5 meters from our bedroom. Because the weather is fine I havent locked her into the stall as I want a natural as possible foaling. And she can stretch her legs as much as she wants. Temps in the Northern Rivers of Australia don't drop as bad as the US and Europe, so I'm not worried about the cold. We leave the outside light on now so I can see her easy when I do checks When she does get to the point of me staying awake all night I can sit on my veranda with an endless mug of hot chocolate and watch her. During the day I let her out into another grassy paddock but I can see the whole area from my window and if I go out the neighbour can also see from their house.

Wasn''t going to post photos but her nipples look bigger today. Also, don''t know if its just the light but her hooha looks darker. Can''t see the blue veins as good this morning, maybe the pig rooting with Bindi yesterday just put a bit of pressure there last night.
