OK so I am getting so excited for the 2014 foaling season that I had to start my topic early :D! My first 330 due dates are end of March so should be starting foal watch most likely early March! We have a great group of expecting mares again and some new and exciting crosses!!! Once I get my cam set back up I will add the link here to the first post as well!

**UPDATE** Cam is now live! http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=maplehollow

Melinda, who is up first to foal and when?
 
Thanks AnnaC! I dont have mom's breeding dates in front of me but of my half, the first ones due are Ebony at 3/28, Babe at 3/29, and ELady at 3/31 for their 300 days. Ebony is a maiden though so not sure what her gestation might be, Babe foaled at 318 days in 2013, 325 in 2012, and 338 in 2011, and ELady was 347 days in 2013.
 
Well I had to be in overprotective horse owner mode today....I decided with our predicted cold weather coming and possibly being -50deg or colder that I needed to get all my girls in the barn. So now I have makeshift pens in both barns as of course I couldnt leave my yearlings out either LOL! Imagine trying to catch around 30 horses that are really frisky with the cold and wind and of course figured out that we were catching so started to "play"! Gotta love em sometimes :p. We got them all rounded up though and in the barns so with any luck they will all behave and then of course get to stay warm through this yucky cold. Already had the yearlings do the escape thing once and trashed my barn so hopefully I redid their pen to keep them in this time. Figure I will just prepare myself for the warzone round 2 tomorrow...then I can be pleasantly surprised if still in one peice hehehe!
 
Anxious to see all your beautiful foals some exciting crosses and...wishing you a safe foaling season

It will be here before we know it

Take a deep breath.....we've a ways to go, and hope all this cold weather makes a turn to warmer before the majority of the foals are born.

I know how hard waiting is -- but heck -- it's already the LAST day of January! It's moving quite steadily along and March will be here very soon!
 
Exciting news! I do believe that we have some udders starting! Gorgeous, Babe, and Missy are all starting slight udder development! Hopefully they keep it up so I can see some babies before I go completely crazy LOL!
 
Oh well done Missy, Babe and Gorgeous!! The first signs of developing udders are sooooooooooo exciting - March is getting closer!
