    I'm really new to this! I would really appreciate a word or two of advice and some answers!

    Random update: Today we let them walk around in the barn. We are going to have to tweak up our barn a bit! He's so small he can walk right under the fence and into the full size horse pasture! It was very sweet though, our geldings weren't too fond of him, but our full sized mares that had...

    we couldn't find a halter small enough for his little head, so we bought a soft dog harness! I've spent so much time in there with him, that he and momma end up in the background of some selfies I've taken for Instagram

    I'm sorry guys! I've been so busy! I've definitely neglected y'all! I even forgot to tell you, we have had a HUGE surprise! Apparently our filly is not so much a filly! Man he can REALLY suck his little wee into his belly! It's a colt! I'll get y'all some pictures of our little man as soon as he...

    Well I'm pretty sure it was just an on ranch stud. They had sold him a i think like a week before we got her. So I'm almost 99.8 percent positive he isn't gunna be in like the stud book or anything hahaha. she finally got to the milk but it took mol a lot of patience!

    Actually, at 9 she foaled out a little grey filly!! How exciting! She's stood and pooped, but stroll having a LOT of trouble nursing! She's figuring it out though. Here are some pics! Say hello to Molly's Blubber!

    We sure do have all those things! I really have only foaled three mares before, all of them full sized, and 2 went VERY badly. Both were positioned wrong AND red bags :o UGH so I'm not so confident. But I wouldn't call myself EXPERIENCED at all >.<

    Here are the photos from this morning. We are keeping a VERY close eye on her tonight! We finally have WAX!! Her milk has turned to actual milk (it tasted like skim milk) and she drips for a second after you milk her. Her from the side, back, top, her vulva, and udders:

    Molly is doing great (but still pregnant UGH!). She's driving me CRAZY! I've started to notice she gets much more active and much more nervous looking (kicking and biting her sides, rolling, ect.) at around 2:30-5 am and then pm too. I think we found our foaling window! I'll post pics as soon as...

    Molly update!

    Hi again guys! Molly has got the silliest milk going. The PH is BACK DOWN at 6.2, but her calcium is like down at 150! I feel like we'll never get this baby out! I stayed up all night with her and she starts into the first stage, then the sun comes up, and she quits! I'm starting to wonder if...

    I've been checking her every hour. I plan to stay out with her tonight and hide in the hay loft. It's so stressful! I don't think I've slept since yesterday! Hopefully tonight's our lucky night. Edit: oh yeah, they used to have a stallion but they sold him only a week before we bought her. I...

    Yeah of course! We don't know the size of the stud, as when we bought her, she was already in foal (without our knowledge). In fact, we don't know if it was even a horse! We may find ourselves with a little mule! She is 9 hands (36") this is her from the back and from the side she has had full...

    Around February we bought a mini mare. We bought her in plans to breed her to our mini stallion who we rescued from abuse a few years back. She never came into season and began to look a little chubby! <3 so we started to keep an eye on her. Well the days of her pregnancy have come to an ending...
