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.
Cooking with bacon grease now! PH is still back-and-forth. But we all know that can change in the blink of an eye. Her behavior was all over the place last night, so I’m not shocked about her progress this morning. I tried to upload a video of her belly watching, but it is not working with me...
Udder starting to get serious. She’s been butt rubbing more and has some crusted blood around girly parts. Milk is now very hard to get and cloudy white but still testing high. Her mood swings are something else, from lovey dovey to angry, uncomfortable mare-tude at the drop of a hat.
I got an update from the lady I got Bess from. We had the wrong dates, she is 10 days further along than I thought, making her 312 days today. She is progressing daily, and I don’t think she has just a whole lot longer. But we will see lol, she may hold out for another two months just to make me...
Thanks all.
Bess is officially day 300. She’s grumpy and moody. She’s still semi new to me (bought her bred in October). Last night she was swinging her rear and hopping all over. Today she is calm, cool, and collected…that’s a relief LOL. Udder continues to progress. Brix is at 5 and ph is...
