Rosey - foaling date 1st week of March

[Eagle]

Well the country music sure had her relaxed last night

What a lucky little girl.

Oh my Lord.... I had to get in my "own lane" so to speak here, back on my own post as not to hijack the thread about Horsey Porn pics. I still can't stop laughing, especially after I clicked on this post and there was Rosey's ****ies starring me in the face!

I got them plastered all over my phone too! My work computer, at home ...

Speaking of how important those pics are to have ... I am going to take some tomorrow of Rosey. I was also looking at her last two foalings. I have both, a filly and a colt. They are 333 days apart, which most likely means that she got bred back in her foal heat, I would imagine .... giving me the 320-323 day gestation for her being normal.

She is at 300 days today, so were getting closer!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait!

She is looking great and it helps me to see where she is at as our Jewel is looking to be as close as your Rosey is. I think we could have foals around the same time. I introduced Jewel to her birthing stahl last week to show her we DO have a plan. She has had some fancier accomodations I am sure before coming to us. She was quite pleased and settled down for a nap. I will be watching your Rosey closely to see how she is doing. So very exciting!

It's nice to look at them and see that they seem comfortable and know that we are there making things as nice as we can for the big event! I watched Rosey on the cam last night and see was stretched out taking a nap in her bed of shavings with her music playing in the background. She looked so peaceful ... one of those "Ahhh" moments.

The sun came out today and when I get home from work in a little bit, I think I will take some 300 day pics...maybe after she has her dinner.

Let me know how they compare to your girl...Jewel

Well she's bagging good! Better than mine at 303 days... Looks to be right on....soon, she's beautiful and can't wait to that baby!!!!!!

Lynne, can you get a timer put on your marestare cam - it is so useful for us folks around the rest of the World to know the time where you are while we are watching Rosey.

She's snoozing happily right now and looking very relaxed and comfortable.

Oh the pictures look great

baby is cooking nicely in there

 

[K Sera]

I'm praying for that "TEXT BOOK" delivery also! I'll be ready for anything, but sure would be nice for her to have an easy delivery like the last one .... I missed it completely! LOL

Hoping for a clock on my webcam site soon ... I do know it helps to know what time it is and my site was set up with info that I submitted prior to knowing if my IP cam would be able to be used or not.

Thanks for watching and Rosey thanks you too!

Rosey is not going to be as relaxed this evening as I have her confined to her stall and she feels isolated now. We have some storms headed this way and I would rather her be inside. I also covered one of her doors which is different for her also ... trying to block any cold drafts that may blow in once the foal arrives. She is in a

12x12 stall and my ceiling rafters are low, so my camera is in the front corner near the door and it's the best I can do. If you can't see her, she is standing in the front of the stall looking out the stall door. Hopefully she will relax like she has the past nights and lay down and nap some. I wanted her to get used to the changes before the big event.

Heather is going to check on that "Local time" for me to show on the cam link, for those who may pop in and check on her during the wee hours of the morning here!

9:30pm (my time) Rosie resting comfortable even dreaming..haha to cute.

7pm my time and no sign of Rosey. My mare Marcella is due about the same time as your Rosey. She's at day 303 today and she is not making an udder at all. She foaled on day 317 last year, so a couple weeks to go I'd say. We'll be foaling buddies. My link is under the post heading "huybers Utopia"

Hey Amanda .... thanks for looking in on Rosey. I leave the stall door open right now and she likes to hang out in her small paddock area against the fence where she can see the other horses. I left her in the stall the other night when a storm rolled through and she was not too fond of that. Since then, I think she has been more hesitant to hang out in the stall as I feel she thinks she may be closed in all night again. I'm going to give her another few days of freedom and then she will have to get used to it!

Love your website, BTW .... the pic of your family and four legged kids is great! Was hoping to see your cam but I noticed it may not be on until a little later?

Question about Rosey's appetite .... the last 2 days she has been very slow to eat her grain, although she does eventually finish it. This morning, because of the storms coming through again, I went out to feed earlier (about 30 minutes) and the only thing really on her mind was to get out in the larger pasture and graze. In fact, she started eating her grain as usual, she gets fed first and while I was walking back to the barn from feeding the other girls, here she comes running to the gate thinking she is going to get in with her buddies, I suppose. I don't want to confine her until I absolutely have to .....

She is standing out there now, in the rain .... not colicky acting in any way, just kinda wanting to hang with the others ..... I guess I want to say there is a behavioral change there and wondering if the foal is getting ready to get in position and possibly not allowing much room for eating much at one time ..... ?????? I don't know .... grasping here ..... ????? Ideas?????? Shes at 304 days today and last night was still seemed to be carrying the foal the same.

 

[weerunner]

You've got it right. Around a month before a few of mine foal they get real slow in finishing what they easily could eat in 10 minutes before. I try to leave the food with them, at least at night when they are in their stalls and it will be gonein the morning. They just dont seem to have the room for a large amount of food at one time.

 

[K Sera]

It makes sense ... she and the other mare I have foaled out here never seemed to miss a meal in the past so I get worried when they turn their nose up at the feed bowl.

She ate great this evening and her feed was gone from breakfast when I got home today.

Tonight ... she is confined to her stall because I just don't like looking at that cam in the evenings and not seeing her in there. It's time she gets used to it!

2.00 am and all is quiet

 

[Lindi-loo]

2.33am and she seems a bit uneasy pacing a bit and looks as if shes going to go down but changes her mind.

3.54am still looking very uneasy at times and baby is doing somersaults in there by the way her belly is moving around

Well, Rosey was in rare form this morning when I went out to feed! She was standing at her stall door, as usual. I opened it and she ran out. She ran to the opposite end of her large pasture to say "HI" to the other girls and proceeded to have a good roll. She got up, shook off, and took off! She ran around the pasture and had a great time. The other girls were looking at her like "What's up with you? We are waiting to eat!!!!" It was great to see her so full of energy as she pranced around and I'm sure baby was just a bouncin in there, back and forth, up and down

She would trot into the stall, get a mouthful of feed and come back out and graze a little bit. She looks and acts like she feels great, so hopefully not too much longer! Just need the little one to make the turn now. She's 305 days today and I will take some pics tonight.

Maybe she was just desparate to get out n have a good kick around then n stretch her legs

.. she must have walked a good few around her stable during the night lol
