Congratulations!

All mares have plugs on their teats. It’s how the udder stays clean and uninfected. To me it sounds like one of these plugs as opposed to wax caused by an overfilled udder leaking. Without seeing a pic though it is hard to know.

Oh yeah, baby any moment now!!

@HeritageHollowFarm hows she doing? Been a while since an update.

Girls are trudging along here. Getting bigger and bigger. Can feel those babies kicking which is pretty awesome after all that Rythem went through and not even knowing Belle was in foal till a short while ago! Rythem is now 242 and Belle is 267 so about a month from her going under camera...

That udder should get a lot larger. Is she a maiden?

It’s impossible to tell from pictures unfortunately. With a bit more information it may help….How far along is she? When was she with the stallion if you don’t know number of days. When did she start an udder? Can you take more pictures of her udder. Preferably one like this? Can you also get a...

when they go on their back like that it is often a sign of dystocia. Not always but frequently. With the fact she did have a minor dystocia, it would make sense. Trying to reposition the baby.

There is no sound. It’s a recording off of a soundless barn camera.

Thought y’all might like this. Recording of Bess foaling. It was a bit spooky her rolling and laying on her back. That’s always a concerning sign and after I gave her a bit I decided to make sure the foal was positioned right. He had one leg caught behind his head. Once I got that corrected, he...

I’ve had many many mares look completely relaxed a month before they foal. This is a maiden on day 312 and she foaled day 345. She would fluctuate from this to normal. That is very normal.

Little guy all dry and a couple days old. Still figuring out those legs. I’ve got his registered name figured out I think. Still working on a barn name. May not know roan status until he sheds, but he’s definitely buckskin.

Buckskin(?) pinto colt born at 8:30 on 3/1/24. Will get better pics in the morning. He was a bit slow to nurse but I think he’s got the hang of it now. Bess is doing great.

Is hard wiring an option? I ran coax cable from my stalls to my house so then I don’t have to worry about WiFi

One of these days her ph will drop and she will foal. Glad she didn’t last night. Went from 80s to 30s overnight.
