That's what I'm hoping will happen.

wow what great updates, thanks for sharing this with us. I would be slleping in the barn tonight if I were you. Safe foaling
Really? I'm sorry, but I honestly really don't know why you're saying that....(Sorry. I'm disappointed she didn't go last night, lol. I'm whiny!wow what great updates, thanks for sharing this with us. I would be slleping in the barn tonight if I were you. Safe foaling
What about her is making you say that?

Judging by the size of her milk bar and her wooty, she looks very close. Her milk could be sticky and sweet just a few hours before foaling. These mares love to keep us guessing so we never get the full picture as to when they will foal but your mare is sure looking close.

Well I'll tell you, I've foaled out at least 16 foals out of several mares and not once could I rely on vulva color, and I've had them foal on me with all kinds of colored and textured milk. Out of those 16 foalings, only 2-3 times did the mare have the WHITE milk.
Looking at the pics you've posted the last couple days, I'd much rather be sleeping in the barn and losing sleep keeping an eye on her, then thinking she's got another day or two because her milk isn't white nor vulva dark red. These girls are too unpredictable!
Don't relay on possible last minute signs - they often dont happen/show. If I was you I would bundle myself up nice and warm, take a thermos of coffee or something and go sit quietly somewhere in your barn and watch that mare! She's going to pop very soon - good luck!

Thanks. I put her in her stall tonight. Her milk seemed to have changed some....
Bow's in for the night. I checked her milk and it came out pretty easy. It was cloudy and thick. It definitely did not taste salty but it DID have a pleasant taste!
So, close?
I will say that I think I caught her vulva at a bad time, so it wasn't very relaxed.

Haha, you're the only one!keep us posted! I think she is very ready! I have been watching your posts with an eagle eye.
I've been told that she doesn't look ready yet. I'll still be keeping an eye on her though.
I think I remember people saying how the manure of a pregnant mare will become cow patty types. I think Bow has that down. For the past day her vulva and rectum have been smeared with poo.
Her bag is still full and milk is the same.
I think that Bow's belly could drop more. She's still kind of wide.

We had a baby born last night and I would have never bet on it. She wasn't even fully bagged! Your mare looks way more ready then Annie ever did
4/25/11 Night Update:
Her vulva has darkened. Although, it wasn't relaxed when I took the picture. Bow keeps tightening up when I go near her tail....
Her bag hasn't decreased even though I let her out all day. Her teats seemed to be waxed, but that could have been from this morning, but I never did try too much then. So, maybe?
Her milk is a cloudy yellow?
