Abbie is 363 days today... stallion owner has confirmed breeding dates (plus she came back home right after!) and our vet palpated a live foal at 343 days. Abbie has the look of a mare just now starting to think about foaling, she is just now developing a bag. No fescue in SoCal (no grass! We feed alfalfa pellets) She is happy and healthy, trotted and cantered in the arena yesterday... just not thinking of foaling on time!

Her last foal was born at around 330 days. Abbie herself was my way-preemie baby born at 292! My vet says she's cooking this one longer to make up for the days she missed.

The other camera is Prissy who just had a lovely silver bay appaloosa filly with little white splashes on her hiney (under her foal coat!) Prissy looked ready for a long time too, although we didn't have breeding dates for her (pasture bred) - her filly is named "KnockKnockKnock Penny".

Here's Abbie from 3 days ago- not looking like a mare nearly a year in foal....

I know she's not a mini, but my AQHA mare went nearly a year with her first foal. [sent out for breeding April 1-7, foaled March 30. Only exposure to a stallion, so certain on the dates.]

here she was March 2, barely looking pregnant, but she was over 330 days:

I was boarding her, and the busy-body at the boarding facility swore she wasn't pregnant, cause she didn't look it.

And, foaling day:

She's just taking longer to put the spots on it!

Seriously, she's a gorgeous mare, and I can't wait to see what she's got cooking in there!
 
This was Abbie with a friend of mine on the day she was born (at 292 days along!)

Today is 371 - a friend says she's going to have it between 2 and 4 am during the lunar eclipse tonight. I have my fingers crossed!
