Wow, you can see the difference in those two pictures side by side. I love the photos of her walking too. What a beautiful area where you live.

Awesome!!!Changes are what we look for, and that's a change!
She refused to leave her stable again today, tried everything I could and she wouldn't budge. Even threatened to rear when asked. Poor girlThere's a really good thread that is pinned at the top of this section called "What is in Your Foaling Kit." Lots of great info there.
I can't stop watching it and grinning! No wonder Missy is getting frustrated, S/he is a feisty little so and soThat is so exciting!! My in utero babies never bounce around and kick when I'm there. How awesome and can't wait to see the video.
Glad it's an active baby!! Actually managed to drag Missy out of her stable yesterday and walked for an hour. She really enjoyed herself!!Reminds me of when I carried my twins !!
That's great, thank you.I've had healthy foals born here ranging from 297 to 365 days, so she's within the range. Remember, most times we gauge by an "average" number of days, so 315 would be a bit before the "average" of 330, but just fine.
He's a feisty one! Basically if it turns out she isn't in foal, what the heck is thatI so loved the video!!!
Todays:Like Diane, I have also had the odd foal born before the 300 day mark, one was fine (which made us query the due date) the other was rather small and a bit weak, but luckily her experienced Momma had her milk flooding in within hours so she was fine, just needed a stable with no draughts and loads of bedding to help keep her warm. I think that if a mare foals early but has carried to HER full term then there is no problem. With our second early foal, we had travelled the mare from here to Daughter's farm at what we thought was a safe time before her due date - 41/2 weeks away, short journey of only 6 miles, the mare travelled happily but for some reason the journey, or the change of circumstances, unsettled the mare and induced labour as she foaled 3 days later giving us in effect a 10 month baby.
Is there any chance you could get someone to hold Missy so you could get a picture of her udder for us, as it would be so helpful in assessing her progress?
