Oh ha ha!! I will take some right after school and post them!! Do you think there is a chance she could foal before the weekend? I want to be here when she has it! ha ha

Let me see some pics first

I can't provide much input or advise but wanted to say what a cutie your girl is. I can relate to being new at this (everyone was at one point right?). I hope you have a safe birth & healthy foal! I'll be watching and learning from your progress. My mini is a bit farther away from foaling but I'm getting really excited

Good luck!

 

[kay56649]

Yeah the wait is awful but it is super exciting! It's like a guessing game and you don't know until the baby hits the ground!

i have more pictures coming in a few minutes!

Kay- Laney didn't have any milk until the day she foaled. Her bag was filled but it was only a very small amount of clear/cloudy secretion I could get out the weeks before. The day her milk came in her nipples filled and I knew I would get real milk when I went to test her and sure enough it was the final stage of milk ready for the foal. She ended up foaling about 2 hours after I milked her.

photos from 8pm- she foaled a little before 10:30pm

Wow she is definitely showing more of the V dropped look.

Her udder has filled a lot more, and is looking like it is getting very close to being full!

Thanks for the update. Hopefully she won't hold in the surprise much longer.

 

[cassie]

she is looking very good

I would think she has a bit more V to go yet.... and if she goes by the book she should fill that udder some more... how is she looking behind?

hmmm not sure If she will foal this weekend though for you... it would be good if you had marestare as we could help watch for you but I guess we have to be content with the piccies lol

 

[Eagle]

yes she is progressing nicely but as Cassie said it looks like she still has a little way to go, the foal still needs to drop into position and she will fill her udder some more. Could you please take a pic from behind so we can see how baby is sitting?

 

[kay56649]

I will take new pics today! I went out and Missy kept looking at her belly and her udder is a little more plump! I was kind of hoping she would have it before or after the weekend because I will be out of town and won't be able to be there for her!

 

[kay56649]

Got a little foal blanket for the baby and it's the cutest thing I have ever seen! It's Nemo themed so it will it a colt or filly!

Where can you get mare stare?

 

[Eagle]

Do you have internet in or close to your barn? Do you have a web cam already? If so you can get her on line for a minimal of 3 months at $90

We don't have wifi in our barn but we have Skype! That's the only web camera we have!
