best of luck with everything!
 
And let me PROMISE you -- you will NOT get yelled at by anyone on HERE! We don't do that, we are here to join in the pleasure of watching these special little mommas, to help you get a healthy foal safely to the ground. You will NEVER get anything here even "close" to being mean.
 
She's still the same, I'm thinking about getting someone out to clip her tummy so I can get a better pic of her, I just need to find that someone

hey can I clip her tummy with normal household clippers like the boys/men use?

I can't stand this cold, windy, wet weather come summer

If my other girl Goldie is pregnant she'll be due when it's cold poor baby

You can certainly use the clippers the boys use to shave their heads, yes. They should work just fine -- but you may have to buy the guys a new set! LOL
 
Lol I'll just clean them and put them back lol they'll never know heheheh nah I'm not that cruel

fantastic now I need to do some research.... Wish me luck, poor Flamingo.... hope she loves me after this ;)
 
I'd try cleaning them up and putting them back too.....because I AM that cruel! LOL Besides, boys hardly ever even notice that kind of thing -- you just have to get all the little hairs out -- especially if the color doesn't match the boys!!

some mares love having their tummy's clipped when they're preggers, Suzie does. she loves the itchy scratchy feeling haha I'm sure she will be fine, just take it slow and if you feel they have had enough give her a break... I find giving them some hay to munch on helps to distract them as long as they aren't messy hay eaters lol, my guys just stand perfectly still while I clip away hehe

good luck!
 
Hi peeps, no baby for me this year

turns out Flame slipped her foal

I had the vet out on Monday because I had my suspicions and she confirmed by ultrasound

so I'm a bit devistated and still in denial Lol but going back on my thread it looks like it happenend back in May (7 months along)

The vet has given me the all clear so when she comes back into seasons we'll try again but with my little stallion Silver Astroid aka Asrto, he's a silver dapple and stands at 29 inches, so should be a lovely foal

So sorry to read this, but we've all experienced this, so you're among friends!

I'm very excited about the upcoming prospect! Looks like a nice looking daddy-to-be!
 
Thank you, it's natures way

and hopefully if it all works out he'll be the daddy to 2 foals next year (Flame & Goldie's) fingers crossed
