327 days! Her udder was very hard and she would not let we go near it today, she usually lets me get quite close and touch it a little. Barely got a feel. Even in the pictures her udder seems a bit fuller! Maybe it will be coming soon! What do you guys think! Close??!

Definite progress Madison I don't think you have very long to wait.
She is elongating and also shopping in the udder department. A couple of good rolls should help line baby up.
best of luck for a safe delivery

I would keep close eye on her. Don't go anywhere and check on her frequently. A lot of mini mares foal during the day. If she holds until night, stay near where she is put at night. How Diane (Castle Rock) sleep next to her. If you have to use restroom, find a spot next to her. Not much longer, probably by morning.

Looks like a buckskin, like his dam. NOW are you glad you read our responses and kept watch. You might have missed it if you weren't keeping an eye on her.

This is my two babies. The first is a buckskin splash with blue eyes out of my maiden mare. Stayed up all night, only to have her foal during the day. My filly is a sorrel (minimal pinto). Her mom aborted her colt the year before. I almost missed the birth. Fell asleep and woke up to head and front feet out. Mom was up walking around. Zazzy (buckskin colt) is almost three months. Reba (filly) is a month old.I'm retaining both and will be shown next year. Zazzy is going to mature between 26-28" and Reba between 28-30".

If you measure his cannon bone (from coronet band to middle of knee) times it by four and than add 2, you will get a height measurement at maturity.
Here's an example: My buckskin colts cannon was 6". Multiply 6 x 4, than add 2. That gives you 26. I add two more for good measure. He should mature between 26-28". Get back to me in three years to see if it is correct. LOL
