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

[PaintNminis]

So She wasn't with a Stallion in January?

She does look like she is gonna POP!

 

[HGFarm]

I have had mares foal as early as 310 days! so she could very well go the first week of January, which is my bet! About the 7th is my guess!!

I would not say imminent but you just might have a baby that turns a yearling at 1 or 2 days old.

This mare is "down under" so I don't think that their foals are aged at the same time ours are.

When do your foals turn a year old, technically, there?

I'm guessing that at the 312 days or so she's at now, she could easily foal at any time; most minis that I know of don't go the full 340 days that full-sized horses do.

This has been a very interesting thread to read, I love seeing the pictures so regularly of Rayne and how she's progressing. Fingers crossed for an easy and safe foaling for her, can't wait to see your foal!

Just curious, What color was the stud she was bred too?

OK I'll play, since I already said last week in Dec. , I'll take Dec 30th, seems they like to do it on Sunday when it's almost impossible to get a vet.

I am bursting at the seams with excitement

She is making progress and it appears that the foal is moving into position. Have you noticed yet that from the back and front her sides are much less wide yet?

I would not say imminent but you just might have a baby that turns a yearling at 1 or 2 days old.

Hi there, thankyou.

Im in Australia, so our breeding season is different, bub wont be 1 till 1st August.

As for her sides, no not less wide atm, still very much round & big. I have a pic that'll i'll resize & put up.

Thanks.

PaintNminis, nope, only with a stallion 2 days in Feb, 17th & 18th.

bjpurpura, im soo anxious & nervous & excited all rolled into 1, lol.....

Pinto28, the 1st stallion was a black tobiano at 31".

The 2nd stallion is black (highly possible smokey black, but not tested) & 32.5". He covered the mare for a 2005 filly foal, she was black tobiano.

No foal this morn, lol.

 

[PaintNminis]

uh no Foal!

There was another tread that was really Funny she said her mare was changing

then less then an hour went by and she said it's a Filly Bye!

and then theres your mare lol She must REALLY like that Baby!

 

[Brandi*]

hahahah well you have certainly had plenty of time to stress over that baby coming into this world. OH! She is a BIG teaser isn't she lol

 

[Alex]

All you can do is WAIT!

 

[Kylie]

All you can do is WAIT!

Thats exactly right!

But.......................................

If Rayne is due the 26th Jan, she may not be the only one, lol.

My Welsh mare was served the 18th Feb (this year) but came up with a Neg preg test, that day she went out the farm with another of my mares, till Aug.

Bought them home late Aug, Sass come in season in Sept, hand served her..... didnt preg test this time, just had her run with the stallion till end of Nov. She never returned in season.

Well yesty i noticed while having her feet trimmed, she's bagging up & you can extract milk, not white coloured yet, but cloudy.

Not just that, but she's displaying extreme stallion behaviour to my Arab Pony filly thats in season. Sass is trying to mount her, squealing, doing everything a stallion does. Geez! OH!

Something i've never seen her do before.

So will contact my vet in the morning, get her out asap when she's in town next.

Find out wether the preg test in March was wrong... or whatnot.

Geez, if its not 1 thing, its another!

She's a maiden mare as well.

Sass's due date if the preg test was wrong, is 26th Jan, lol. Sheesh.

 

[AnnaC]

OH! OH! OH! OH!

Sorry it's no laughing matter I know, but just had to have a little grin!!

Good luck - maybe we are now on tenderhooks waiting for two instead of one!!

Its funny, but its not, lol.

Have my vet visiting on the 3rd (Thursday), so will know where we stand then.

But i've never dealt with a mare that is acting like a stallion & Sass is the most sweetest mare, normally.

 

[PaintNminis]

That is Pretty weird I have never had a mare do that before.

 

[Kylie]

Pics from today.

OMG that Poor Girl is HUGE!!!

 

[Alex]

The mounting thing is kinda common. There was a thread on it not too long ago;search it!

From the underside pics, it looks like shes gonna foal soon

Id say in the next 24/48 hrs.

Remember im no vet!

 

[CritterCountry]

Looks like you'll have a baby very soon!!! I don't think she can bag up much more than that!

Thanks, i'll do a search.

How common is it though, Sass has never done that & she's been in with the same filly, in season & not.

Im utterly disgusted with her behaviour, lol....
