' /> oh crap i better go put her alarm on if some are foaling at 320 thats like only 10 days away...but she doesnt look fat <br />         enought yet... udders are looking abit bigger...apparntly she is hung like a cow before she foals and her last foal was     a week over due..<br />

<br /><br /><br />
I bring them up to the top paddocks from day 300, start monitoring udders and will alarm/milk test as needed. That is when I have my working alarm and milk test strips

Flying blind this year!

[Eagle]

I would say she looks like she has about a month of tummy to grow so she is right on track

 

[cassie]

yeah I agree with Renee, looking good for her due date!

she has to grow that little baby real nice!!

 

[lucky lodge]

thanks guys

 

[cassie]

Love the lopsided belly shot, Fantasy does that a lot. Somtimes I think she'll just fall over sideways one day

 

[lucky lodge]

well were on 311 days now Iam counting the days now

how long is the normal gestation for a mini or is there no such thing LOL

 

[cassie]

well I have read it is anywhere from 300 days to 365... could be wrong tho...

is she bagging up yet Jenny?

Foaling can happen any time in that range. But from what I've been told from other mini breeders the norm is 320 to 345. Anything either side can still be a viable foal but is less common.

No not bagged up yet.....

 

[lucky lodge]

day 313 and counting putting the foal alarm on today and setting up the camera tomorow

 

[Eagle]

she is right on track if you think that most mares take around 4 weeks to bag up that would put her foaling at 341 days. Perfect !!
