Kate is our welsh mare in foal to our welsh sec A stallion. This is Kates 3rd foal and will be day 300 on Jan 2nd. She has previously foaled at day 311 & 328. She is already quite uncomfy and has slight udder development.

Here are some pictures of Kate:

Looking forward to watching her. Very exciting.....won't be long now!
 
Welcome back to you and Kate!! Another lovely baby on the way for her, brilliant!! We'll be watching!
 
Thanks Yall... Good to be back. I have acquired a BEAUTIFUL dun tobiano mare that is also in foal, she wont be due until the summer. She barely looks bred...

Anyone else have a mare due soon?
 
Just been checking in on Kate - she looks very relaxed munching on her hay in her bowl. How's she looking, any udder developing?
 
Hi Anna, no big changes yet. Shes still been miserable in the evenings, though not quite as bad. I have noticed her belly has dropped a bit, i think that has helped. The foal has been very active so all is well. Were sitting on 284 days, so getting closer!
 
Very exciting here too! Oooooowwwwwww, this is going to be an exciting year!!!!
 
Sounds like this just might be the first foal of the 2014 season.
 
I dont know why I am so excited to see such small changes! Kates udder was a bit bigger this am

she has bagged up as early as 2 weeks prior to foaling and as early as 7 weeks prior... I have a love / hate emotion about foal watch! Love the excitement/ hate the wait!
 
I think I will share some before and now pics so newbies can see the differences we look for. Kate is continuing to make changes, though her udder is staying the same right now

Great pictures, and I'm sure they'll help explain it. She's looking good, and I can't wait!
 
Perfect pictures - they will certainly help many of those new to breeding. Can you keep them coming on a weekly basis (unless a sudden change in something) as I think a linked 'story' of pictures showing a mare's expected progress over the last few weeks of pregnancy would be great to follow.

Not a problem, always have the camera handy and willing to be helpful

The past few days have been super busy with Christmas, and Kate decided to loose the starting of the back of her udder, then decided to grow it back! I love the ups & downs....means we are getting closer!

Saturday is Day 295! How exciting!!!

Meanwhile she has started to lay down to rest more and started to nap a bunch during the day. She is still uncomfy, poor girl.
