I too am an amateur color guru! I am kind of obsessed actually I LOVE her Sabino markings!

Anyway, onto Robin. Today is the first day that I looked at her hooha and went, "ooooh...that looks better". She does not have the slab side look going, but she does look to have a low belly. Her nips are still pointing in. The inside of her hooha was pink. Not a lot of resistance in her tail.

Pics...The first hooha pic is while she was swishing her tail. The second is while I lifted her tail. Looks slightly open in first.

yeah I think her belly has dropped some more which is great

is she getting looser behind when you feel? can she clamp her tail down when you try to lift it or is it getting harder for her to do so? all steps forward for our gorgeous girl!

 

[phoebeq]

She has very little resistance in her tail. So, she is definitely loosening up back there

 

[phoebeq]

So, I am going to dare to say...maybe during the full moon on the 31st?? LOL...yeah right...

 

[cassie]

Yeah you never know?! Could be cool for a name

 

[phoebeq]

Pics from this AM...I think she puckered, lol.

 

[phoebeq]

Come on full moon! Do your thing! LOL

 

[phoebeq]

How fast will the pinkness in the vulva progress to red? She is darker than normal, but not red yet...

 

[AnnaC]

Unfortunately it varies as all mares are different (and don't we know it! LOL!!) In my opinion any changes mean a mare needs very careful watching, but really deep red with my girls means a foal within 24 hours.

 

[phoebeq]

Thanks! I will be keeping an eye on her

 

[cassie]

good luck!!!

(leans over and pokes Robin's udder) Excuse me? Udder? You should be doing something now. Hint Hint!

 

[phoebeq]

Yeah her udder is being a negative nancy...BUT, the inside of her vulva IS getting darker. I spent a little time grooming her today...pardon my poor attempt at a tail braid, lmao AND the fact that I groomed her right next to a pile of poop, lol. Pics...

How do you keep her soo clean, my boy is always so dirty

She is such a pretty mare hopefully she foals for you soon and everything goes smoothly

 

[phoebeq]

Hah! Clean...that's funny She is actually pretty dirty, you just can't see it because it is all on her back down in the fur. We don't get a whole lot of rain, but when we do, ALL of my horses HAVE to roll...it especially shows on her and my cremello. Nice thing is, that it is normally not visible by the next day

I think Robin was mucking with me. Gone back to lighter pink now

 

[Wings]

She might be a last minute udder developer type

 

[phoebeq]

Ya know, I don't think that I would be having this hard of a time, if I wasn't so intent on being present for the foaling. If I knew she would be fine on her own, I would just forget about it and occupy myself with other things, lol. But, because I feel a strong need to be there incase help is needed, I am having to check her all of the time. I am watching the pot and it feels like it is never gonna boil!!

Pics from this AM

And just because, here is one that I took yesterday of my mini donk, Jose'

What is it with mares and udders this year? Generally they seem determined to torment us and hold back on them! Girls I do not like this, please think of something new to torment us with next season

Robin looks fantastic

She's bright, healthy and that tummy looks awesome.
