Okay, I finally got some decent (for me) pictures of my three mares that are due to foal. All mares are bred to our snowcap appaloosa stallion, Iles Smokin Aces. The first mare is Maple Hollows Perfect Echo, a solid buckskin mare we purchased from Melinda's mom.
She is at 311 days today (4/17). Last year she foaled at 311 days. Her udder is pretty full, but I believe it will get tighter. I tested her milk last night, and it wasn't 'close,' but I will be testing it daily now. I haven't put the Equipage on her yet, but I may do that tonight.

The next mare is Derbytowns So Sorrel. 'Chrissy' normally foals close to 330 days. However, this year she has a huge udder that is getting firm, and she is only at 310 days today! I have been testing her milk also. I don't have her belly clipped yet, but I plan to do so in the next day or two.

The next mare is PALS Katiebug Cuddles. Katiebug is a 4-yr-old maiden. So I'm not sure how long she will carry. Her mother carried close to 330 days. She is at 303 days today, but she has a nice udder started for a maiden mare. So far I can't get anything out of her udder. At least she doesn't seem to mind me trying. LOL
