I decided after being persuaded by some friends to come start a thread over here to talk about all things "Missy"
To give some background information on her....I'll give yall this:
"Dillard's HHH Close Enough to Perfect"
2005 Mare - AMHR - 31" - Golden Palomino Tobiano (+splash?) with one blue eye
Back in 2010 she gave me a sorrel tobiano (+splash?) filly with two blue eyes, sadly we lost her due to red bag and couldn't get her out in time. Very lovely leggy filly with lots of color on her but she wasn't meant to be. She gave no signs of impending birth with this pregnancy. This filly was born approximately 9AM.
In 2011 she gave me a sorrel minimal tobiano colt whose birth was unattended, again very little signal of impending birth, however everything went fine and we had a bouncing colt in the stall by the time we got home. We assume he was born around 2PM. We also decided that with this foaling we WOULD be using some type of Mare Milk Test strips on her.
This mare never gets a huge udder, doesn't tend to drop into a dramatic V shape but does V out somewhat and still eats and poops just fine. I am watching her like a hawk and hoping that these test strips will catch her in the act of things. I test her 3 times per day with Foal Time strips and I am determined to be there for this foal.
I have included pictures of her so far, the below ones are from April 17th, 2012 and I will be getting new ones for you all tonight!
PS: I am praying for a LOUD pinto blue eyed filly. . . .any help sending the filly fairy this way would be appreciated!
