Nope I haven't taken any yet today but she has only a very small udder, not anywhere close to full. It was fuller this morning when I turned her out. I haven't heard back from the vet yet, I'm still waiting.
At least she is filling her udder - you said it was more full in the morning when you went to turn her out. This is quite natural and a lot of mares will foal soon after their udder is STILL full and tight after they have been out in the field all day. However may be your mare will simply foal this time with a small bag and come into her milk once she foals - again quite normal. I dont think you need to worry unless she doesn't produce anything after she foals.
Of course she looks like this on a day when i have been doing hay all day. I'm exhausted and sore, was hoping for the tub and an early date with my bed. On a good note though all my small squares are done!
I agree, also many mares are foaling this year with smaller udders. My 2 experienced mares had teenager boobs (lol) this year yet still had plenty of milk
The girls are inside because we are expecting severe thunderstorms today. So far it's been good and sunny but they come up fast. I will be turning them out into the sand ring to play a little later today. I have to make sure they get enough rolls in to move those babies into place for tonight.
Dreamer is still holding the same as yesterday. I think if she strains to much getting up that the baby will just slide out. Sugar has almost caught up to Dreamer over night. I think Dreamer is waiting for her friend to foal at the same time. They like to do everything together!
I swear that she has decided to wait until Sugar is ready too! I have a Party going on for the barn today so i can't imagine that she will foal during that commotion. You never know though, there would be lots of attention!
