The vet FINALLY made it out there on Wednesday, checked her over thoroughly and said she looks good and gave me his guess of end of April for baby to come. But it's nice to know for sure that she's not just fat lol! I will have to get some new pictures soon, not much happening since my last...

Oh my goodness, she is adorable! She looks like my rescue mini The chestnut rescue surprise baby sisters lol!

Thank you for fixing my pictures! Udder still looks the same, not filling up yet. But we are all watching her very carefully now just in case she is one of those girls who fills up and goes without much warning. Since she is 6 years old I suppose she could have had foals before, but coming from...

Ok. I fail.

Ok, I rotated and saved before uploading so I'm not sure why they are on the side like that, let me try the rear shot...

Here are a few more pics from yesterday, pardon the dreadful spring mud from the never ending rain here...

Since it was pouring all day yesterday and I could tell by the look on her face she did not want to come out of her run-in shed, it was too dark to get a good behind shot. But while she ate her dinner I did just put both arms around her and had my hands one just before her udder and the other on...

She is my only mini but I have a big horse as well. If I had my own farm I would absolutely keep the baby, but since I board I'm at the limit My little mare does drive already, I wish I could keep baby and have a team!

Thank you! I had no idea she was pregnant when she was at Camelot so this was a total surprise Doing volunteer rescue work I was immediately worried about finding the baby a good home because I see what happens to so many horses... but one of my fellow rescue volunteers has expressed an...

Yes, she has the nicest temperament of any mini/pony I've ever met which is why I couldn't let her sit at Camelot. I do volunteer work there and I've seen hundreds of horses come and go, but she was very special. I just loved her from our first interaction when I was taking pictures that night...

I got my mini mare last October from Camelot and when the vet checked her over he didn't see any obvious signs of pregnancy then. But despite my very careful feeding program (since she was quite chunky when I got her) her belly continues to grow. And over the weekend is has changed shape to the...

Another timely topic as I am also dealing with very thick mud right now... although in the last week it has turned into frozen craters. I was under the impression that one needed to remove the topsoil or something like pea gravel will just sink right down, even if you apply several inches of the...

I was just wondering about this topic myself as I prepare my mini for driving lessons. I got a harness for her and it came with a half-cheek driving snaffle which she should do well in I would think since she goes nicely in a loose ring snaffle under saddle with my kids. But she also does great...

This has been a really good thread for me to learn from, my new little rescue mare also has a pot belly and she is apparently not pregnant, just rollie pollie. She does not have a cresty neck or a squishy fatty rump and I can feel ribs under there so she was probably just fed a diet that wasn't...

So here's the update on my little mare. The vet checked her over and she is healthy and he doesn't think she is pregnant, just a typical chunker. Fecal looks good and blood panel as well, all normal. She's had two trimmings and her feet are so much better, I didn't realize just how bad they were...
