My brood mare updates!

[Kylie]

Already have 2 foals (Pinto Part Arabs) on the ground & close to weaning LOL but 3 more mares to foal.

First is Mardi - she is 285 days today.

And these pics are 2.5 wks old.. tummy has changed shape & she's not as wide behind as you can see above. She s also now very soft around the tail head too so this arvo she is coming in to stay under watch.

Foxy - 284 days today.

Flirt - either 264 days or 334 days (no she's not a Mini LOL).

Taken on the 2nd Dec.

yay, some foalings to look forward too while waiting for this frigid miserable winter to be over!! I absolutely love Foxy!!! She is gorgeous!!! What fun! Please keep us updated!!

 

[maplegum]

Not long now Kylie! Isn't foaling season special.!

 

[Kylie]

Thanks everyone!

Does anyone think Mardi (the brown) is "too advanced" in the udder development for only 285/286 days?

Tummy shape, plus the fact she's very squishy around the tailhead & a deeper pink inside her vjayjay (compared to Foxy)... anyone reckon she might go early?

I'm turning the Foaling Camera on tomorrow, just incase.

edited to add pic from today, compare it to her udder (above) from yesty.

I would say she will maybe go around the 300-310 mark. . .just my guess 

 

[Kylie]

Thanks Katie Guinn.

I have big horses, well from 11.2hh to 15hh & they are MORE predictable, have been pretty spot on when they'd drop.. but these Mini's OMG!! Have only bred (on the ground already) 3 Mini's with couple more due but bred more big foals & they are easier, lol.

It's funny as in 2007 i had a Mini mare (whom had many foals) due late November - she didn't foal UNTIL 7th January 2008!!!!!

Anyway, maybe we should take guesses on when she'd drop & what colour/sex! LOL.

This is the sire to both foals the Mini's are carrying.

 

[Kylie]

No changes but the brown mare is dropping around the tailhead & also very squishy.

No other changes to neither of them.

The brown mare Mardi is 290 days today.

Pinto mare Foxy is 289 ays today &

Flirt the max Sabino mare is either 269 days or 339 days today.

Ok updates!

Mardi the brown mare, she is 297 days today.

Checked inside her vulva & there's a slight gooey/clean snot type of discharge (no smell), checked her tail & it seems she's lost her mucus plug but it's gone hard/crusty.

Same like on here: http://www.crayonboxminiatures.com/Foalingsigns.html under Mucus Plug.

Pics taken at 295 days.

Foxy, 296 days, no real changes.

Pics taken at 294 days.

And also my Aussie Pony mare Flirt. She was first served early Jan 09 (due 15th Dec 09) but re-served in late March 2009 after getting sick early March 09. So we figured she was due 25th Feb 2010.

Seems she HAS taken from the early service coz can't see her holding out 10 more weeks!
