Good afternoon!
I'm new to this forum as a member, but have been watching the posts and using the pinned posts for a while now. We recently bought our first mini in February. She is in foal and was pasture bred sometime between March 26 and May 30 2015. She is a maiden mare. We are expecting the foal any day now! She has been keeping us on our toes for sure. She started bagging up 4 weeks ago and had a small amount of wax two week after that, but then no baby. A week ago her bag was HUGE and her teats were pointing down but still nothing! This is our first mini foal (we've bred appaloosas before) so we just aren't sure what to think! She has been showing a lot of the signs, tail rubbing, restless at night, etc. So I'm just wondering how much longer do you think she will go? Do minis normally act this strange for this long of a period before foaling?
Any help is greatly appreciated! (Hopefully the pictures work!)
This was her bag a week ago when we thought she was close to foaling.
This is her bag now.
Here is a side shot of her belly.
Here is a behind shot of her belly.
And a behind shot showing her bag.
