Ok, let's have some fun with the nail test this year. As most of you know this test is considered an ole wives tale performed on a pregnant mare which predicts the sex of the foal. I was thinking we should determine an accuracy rate based on our numbers this year. For those of you that are unfamiliar with it here is how it works: tie a nail to a piece of string (I use sewing thread), hold the string over the mare's hips and watch which way it swings. Back and forth means BOY, around in circles means GIRL, and if it stands still it means NO BABY.
Who's in?
Since I have one arrived already I will start. In order to update simply reply to last post when you get a foal. Using mare name/sex of foal born your user name you post with will keep it simple. We can use YES or NO for whether the foal was the sex the nail test predicted.
I will be 1. Next person to post once their foal arrives just needs to begin reply with 2.
Ok, I will "reply." We can keep tally all the yes and no and arrive at a % accurate eventually. It will also be a quick way to check in on each other to see "who got what and when."
