Hi guys! I thought I should add a post here also for my girls. We are on marewatchers this year. The link to our cam is www.marewatchers.com/cam/flyingfarm.html.
We have 4 mares due this year and I currently have 3 on camera. First is Southwind Forever Yours ("Buffy"), a sorrel sabino ASPC/AMHR mare, multi-national champion/multi-national top 10 producer. Buffy is bred to MO Breaking News EDV, a black bay sabino ASPC/AMHR multi-congress champion stallion who is negative for LWO, carries agouti, and is homozygous black. The last day we hand bred Buffy was April 20th, BUT, my husband reminded me that later in the Summer we had turned Buffy out with Mo to try and calm him down. He is very bad about pacing, so we were trying different options to get him to settle down. Buffy was with Mo for less than 2 weeks, although it is very possible she could have been in heat during that time and we didn't notice. Buffy is 347 days today, and is making zero progress. I thought she had started to bag up every so slightly, but it's just not much at all considering she is a very experienced broodmare. So, I think there may be a chance she did in fact get bred later in the year (which would have been the last week of June through the first week of July. Unfortunately, I am leasing her and wasn't able to get much information on what she does/doesn't do before foal. She has always been one to foal on her own and has been very sneaky. I do know Buffy is in foal, I have very clearly felt the foal move numerous times within the last week. There is no mistaking there is a baby in there! Buffy is in the top left stall.
Next is Royal Polished Gold ("Polly"), a palomino sabino ASPC mare. Polly was 330 days on March 23rd. She is bagged up, has a mushy butt with no tail resistance, and has gotten extremely clingy. This has been going on for 3 or 4 days now. Polly is also in foal to MO Breaking News EDV. Bag-wise I'm not sure what she typically does, but I was told she gets very clingy and likes having her person in there with her. So we'll see. Polly is on the top right camera.
The 3rd mare is Fowler Boomers Exotica Lovesong ("Teaka"), a 34" silver bay AMHA/AMHR mare, national/reserve national champion producer. Teaka was also 330 days on March 23rd. We have had Teaka for ALL of her foals and she has always consistently waxed within 12 hours of foaling. The longest she has gone for us prior to this year was 336 days...we are at 340 today. She could stand to bag up a little more, although my notes from her last foal indicate she did not bag up fully like I would have expected, but she did wax. She doesn't have much tail resistance and has a mushy butt, and the foal appears to have dropped. She is also getting cranky and trying to bite me when I check her. Teaka is in foal to reserve national grand champion (and multi-national/world top 10 producer) Sundance LB Assured, who is a 34" ASPC/AMHR/AMHA stallion, sorrel with some chrome and 1 blue eye, and LWO+ (Teaka is tested LWO-). Teaka is on the bottom right camera.
The last mare we have is CLC Baile Del Sol ("Baile"), who is a sorrel pinto ASPC/AMHR, multi-national top 10 producer. Baile is 330 on May 27th. She is not yet on the cams. We had her next to buffy, but Buffy can be a witch, so that wasn't working out so well! Baile is in foal to MO Breaking News EDV. She usually bags up fully, waxes a hair, then the next day will heavily wax, and finally drip milk before foaling. She generally foals around the 336 day mark. I will post more on her once she starts making progress.
Most of them can be seen at www.flyin-g-farm.com. Hopefully photos are posted below! It should be (from left to right), Sun, Mo, Buffy, then underneath is Polly, Teaka, and then Baile.
