How long do you think for my maiden to foal??

Help Support Miniature Horse Talk Forums:
With a maiden, it is a crap-shoot. But if I were a gambler, I'd say she will probably foal fairly close to her due date.
If you can get any liquid from her teats between now and June 8, it will help you determine where she's at, but maidens don't always give colostrum until immediately before birthing. And watch to see if she starts carrying the baby differently (dropped).
In the meantime, try to get some good sleep in NOW, because you're going to need it.

[SIZE=14pt]Her udder doesnt look ready but her vulva sure does! Like MA said, with maidens its a crap shoot! Good luck. I have a mare due June 5th, one that was due May 15 and one whe dont know because she was pasture bred... Nothing yet![/SIZE]

Well, it wasn't last night!! She has all of the signs though, lots of tail swishing, and when she lays down, she lays on her side all stretched out and pants and grunts, which I am sure the baby is putting pressure on her diaphram, and she will not let me touch her udder. So I am hoping for this weekend. :aktion033: Sorry about the 1st picture being so big, i don't know why it did that.
