Late November foal, or will she pop in Jan 2008??

[Kylie]

Typical mare, cant get enough!

She was served mid Dec 2006 by my Mini Pony stallion, he was sold & left Wa in Feb 2007... she came in season but only for 2 days, not her "normal" cycle in Feb, so was served by my Mini Horse stallion.

She's 35", Mini Pony is 31" & Mini Horse stallion is 32.5".

Reckon it'll be a late Nov foal (would be due in 6 wks time), or i got to wait till Jan?

She's rather a "long" mare, very roomy so doesnt show as big as more compact mares. Not her 1st foal neither, she's a older broody.

What she normally looks like, lol.

March 2007.

She is gorgeous. I am not a good person to ask as my mare had a false pregnancy this year and i was convinced I saw movement right to the end. lol. I just have to ask what her bag is like? She definitely looks lie she is growing and changing.

 

[Kylie]

Thankyou both kindly.

She's either due 22nd Nov or 26th Jan so its a big wait for the latter, lol.

She is just a really nice mare so i look foward to this baby.

IMO, the way her belly looks in today's pic, I'd say November, she looks too big and low to be over 2 months away.. How much udder development does she have?

Thankyou.

I will post a pic of her udder tomorrow, she's "enlarged" but she's not bagged up as such. :saludando:

I am going to go against the norm here and say that foal will not go in November, but later. I have a mare that is built a lot like your mare, longer in the body and she is due in mid January at the earliest. She looks to be about the same as your mare, and she is kinda puffy in front where they normally bag, but nothing else. This will be her first. The only difference is yours looks to have dropped slightly in one of the hay pics, so could I call a December baby?

Hi all.... updated pics, sorry to bore you all.

 

[Lucky-C-Acres-Minis]

I'm still going to stick with the November baby..

From her profile pics it looks like right in front of her udder is 'swollen' compared to her actual bag.. My appy mare swells right in front of her udder for 3 weeks prior to actually filling her udder, udder usually fills about 3-7 days prior to her foaling...

This is my girl about 3 weeks prior to foaling compared to your girl:

See what I mean, how she's swollen right in front there?

Two weeks prior:

One week prior:

and finally the day/night of foaling:

She was even bigger in the udder come actually foaling, but you can see how she swelled in front and never really filled from front to back until the day she foaled.. Her udders were swollen at the bottom but soft at the top until just a few hours before she laid down and foaled..

 

[Kylie]

Wow Lucky-C-Acres-Minis, thankyou for the series of photos! I really enjoy looking at different mares, different stages during pregnancy... its interesting. :saludando:

Lovely mare, what did she end up having?

Ok, reading Rayne's foaling log book from 2005 & 2005..... 2005 she foaled with very little udder, teats not down.

2006, at foaling, teats slightly changed & dropped a little...... so basically she might not bag up much, otherwise she might like your lovely mare.

Thanks again.

 

[Lucky-C-Acres-Minis]

She ended up having a big ole colt, 10 days or so over her expected due date.. At foaling she was so big and tight in the udder that when she moved she'd squirt milk..

Last year she foaled a colt with just the front of her udder swollen, nothing really going on with the actual bag/teat area until after she foaled.. From the notes you have on her, sounds like she does the thing my gal does.. Her teats did not really distend down until the day she foaled though I could express some liquid for the couple weeks prior to foaling..
