305 days

 

[AnnaC]

I think we can say that she's finally getting there!! Come on Sweety, this wait has been too loooooooooooooooooooong!!

 

COME ON LITTLE MOMMA!!!

 

Did you tell her it's almost August?? We're all waiting for her...very excitedly, I might add!

 

[countrymini]

I'll let her know lol. Just eating breakie then out to take some more photos. I had a look a few days ago and it all looked the same, hopefully this morning she might have some nice ****ies under there

 

[countrymini]

K, SO I'M TOTALLY EXCITED!!!!

 

[Wings]

Well done girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give her a hug from me... but tell her she better hold on until Thursday so she's in August

:rofl

Got my fingers crossed that she grows you a nice, textbook udder to enjoy

Have you got your cold weather foaling stuff ready? Or have you guys in NSW discovered nicer weather then we have?

 

[countrymini]

No, its quite cold here still. Altho cold here is probably mild for down there lol. Yeah, i'm hoping she holds off till august, nothing like a yearling that looks like a newborn

I hope she follows textbook too so I get plenty of warning. I think she may have dropped. Couldn't see it till i compared photos from last week. What do you reckon?

 

[countrymini]

 

Oh YES!!!!! She's dropping nicely and is even a bit forward of center, so things are progressing beautifully!!!!! And, I'm VERY excited about that beautiful udder!!!!

 

[countrymini]

Just so I can get my life in order before all heck breaks loose, going off udder and tummy shape what approx time frame from here is possible launch?

 

Give us an udder picture in like 2 days, and see how quickly she's growing. That will help us gauge her momentum!!

I can't wait to see again how she's changing! I really don't think she'll go very far into August, but seeing how quickly she's building that udder will help us estimate!

PS -- start getting your life in order!! LOL

 

[Wings]

Depending on fill time/progress I'd guess you have a week up your sleeve. But if she starts to fill quickly you could lose that week easily! At this stage I do a twice daily udder check, you're looking for general fill progression, temperature changes, the 'hardness' of how it feels and of course the nipples parting. Those things should give you a better time frame.

If she was my Rivain I'd say a week.... if she was Twinkles I'd say 2 to 3 weeks

If Fantasy then 2 days.... Mares are NOT nice!

 

[countrymini]

They are a bit mean arent they! Last time I checked before this morning was Friday arvo and there were no changes. But I'll keep checking from now on and I'll post photos in two days time, see what you girls reckon.

 

[AnnaC]

It looks as though things could get exciting very soon!!

 

[countrymini]

314 days

Photos on left are from two days ago, right are today. Is this textbook progression? Hooha is not loose.

 

[AnnaC]

Textbook progression!!

Just need to have those teats to separate a bit more as her udder does it's final fill - could be a day or several days, it's a guessing game LOL!!

Keep an eye on the colour inside her vulva - most mares change this to a deep red within hours of foaling - hopefully she will be one of these mares and will give you this last minute sign?

Cant wait to see what she produces - it's been a loooooooooooooooooooong wait!!

 

[countrymini]

Would be nice if she took a few more days. All of a sudden I feel like I'm not ready or capable of seeing this one safely down! I'm hoping Sweety will just slap me across the face, tell me to calm down and show me how its done lol

 

[AnnaC]

Keep calm - deep breath, or several of them!! You will be fine once things are a 'GO'!!
