sweetys offical foaling thread

[cassie]

I'm going to say about 10 days

foaling on the...24th

just before I go away so I can see the baby!!

bring it on Sweety!!

 

[lucky lodge]

Iam totally understand,,,,i tryed to get milk out of her nothing.. will milk come out before the foals born or just as its born ........man i dont noooooooo LOL......Iam thinking maybe a week

LOL!! Jenny. We never try to milk our mares - dont do milk testing either - to my way of thinking, the milk is the foals, not ours. LOL!!

Yes she will produce her milk when it is needed, so dont stress. Not all mares will drop their milk for you and she may simply be one of these - just because everyone else is getting milk/talking about samples for testing, doesn't mean there is anything wrong with Sweety, she's doing just fine.

Just think about all those mares that are left to fend for themselves for the whole pregnancy/foaling business, they dont have anyone pinching dribbles of milk to taste, test, or coo over, and they cleverly produce a full supply all on their own when they foal!

Jenny I haven't tested Suzie's milk in ages... I might again when she gets really close but I agree with Anna I don't want to wreck anything lol

Sweety will show you the signs just be patient (gosh I should learn to listen to my own advice

lol)

your not alone in this, Sweety, Stormy, and Suzie are all pretty much neck n neck in the foaling race, Kara n I are with you in this,

and we have a lovely friends Renee, Anna, Diane, Heidi, Lindi and Bree to help us

we can't go wrong if we listen to their advice

lol I'll shutup now, I always blab on when I'm tired lol have a good night sleep

Night!!

Ah ha, the sensible Diane!

To wait until you have all the other signs in place, and then to use the test strips to give you a virtually hour by hour reading, is a much more sensible idea, and a great saving for those needing last minute indications.

I did the same Diane, this year was the first time I used Foal Time strips and I tested once she had a good size bag and a loose tail head. She too very politely foaled 2 hours after testing ready.

[lucky lodge]

her hooha would wink at me LOL

And its much softer.. any one had this happen before

or and udders feel bit bigger but no milk and no wax

[lucky lodge]

bumping

 

[cassie]

lol well I'm glad there is no wacks!! for your mare lol would be exciting if there was some WAX hehe couldn't resist sorry Jenny!! LOL

Suzie has been really loose behind for the last week... its definitley a sign she is getting closer!!!

 

[lucky lodge]

yer but what about her winking

 

[cassie]

maybe she had just done a no.1 before you went n saw her?? Suzie winks for ages after oh n I think once or twice I touched her round there and she winked.. yes she did, maybe the hormones? not sure LOL

totally guessing here everything sounds fine Jenny!

 

[Lindi-loo]

All depends which eye she was winking with i guess and if she got no wacks either..my guess would be both

..Sorry cassie started it..one for the experts i think
