Being a maiden she hasnt read the rule book yet LOL but she has a nice udder started. I am going to say 3 1/2 wks time

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Sorry about the cam down. Our computer restarted itself, so It was out for awhile.

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Its cold here today, so im waiting a bit to let everyone out.

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

ok, is it just me, or has her udder grown today?

Great progress, well done Snowball. Sorry I haven't posted Kara, I have had a few crazy days plus all these foals popping out here

I will be back to watching at night from Sunday

Hello Snowball, we were hoping that you would get your own thread so we can watch for you to have your new little baby.

She's looking good Kara, and moving pretty fast from the look of it. Not very good at guessing when mares will foal, especially maiden mares, but I would say approx 3 weeks maybe a little more???

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Sounds like she should be on target for near beginning of may, her due date. But, I am going to try to keep a close eye on jer since she is a maiden. Not had a maiden foal before.

Hi Kara, sorry I haven't been around, but now that miss Laney has had her gorgeous little Tinkerbelle! Snowball will be up at all times.

10:24pm and she is swishing her tail and standing in the right hand corner...

date I'm gonna guess 5th May

not sure who daddy is so I wont guess colour... but she is lovely. and the foal will be gorgeous no matter what !

Snowball down sternal resting at 11:27pm

Yes, I see a big change in her udder from one day to the next.... I dont think she will wait til May?

 

[cassie]

standing quietly at 12:57am all is well

Ok, sorry so late tonight. My daughter has her friend (also my neice) staying the night, and I had to get them all situated, and in bed. So, here are the pics from tonight. not much growth in the udder department today from yesterday. here is a side shot

here is a pic from the rear

And here is

daddy. I do not own Buckeye WCF Hot Toddy, but have permission from Getitia to post his pic.

Also, one more point I forgot to mention. Snowball is Lethal White Positive (tested)

Hot Toddy was tested negative for the gene, so hopefully nothing will be wrong, just a bit of info I wanted to pass along.

Ok, I only let Snowball out for a bit today, because it's rainy out. but her udder this morning shocked me! See what you guys think. she has been wierd today wanting more attention than usual. The post before this has her belly shot, rear pic, and pic of foal to be's daddy. What do you all think for a maiden?

 

[bannerminis]

Her little bump is so neat and tidy. Her udder is looking really good too. I do think there is more filling required but she has obviously got her game face on so will have to be watched like a hawk me thinks.

Daddy is a Babe

This should be a gorgeous foal

 

[Eagle]

I agree Karina, she might have a few days to go but I think we should watch her just in case she has other plans

 

[HGFarm]

My mare who is not a maiden this year never got a V, so I dont count on that at all! She is progressing pretty quickly and nicely here. Should be a nice baby!!!

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

No udder development today, infact, it seems to have gone down a bit, but I know now (from this forum) that this can be normal in her development. Today was a BEAUTIFUL day here, and my horses enjoyed it so much!

 

[cassie]

I'm glad your horses got to have a nice day nejoying the sun

11:37pm and Snowball is down sternal resting very nicely

wow Daddy is absoloutly STUNNING!! should be one very gorgeous little foal

I agree with the others maybe a few more days wait for this girl.

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

She has been restless this evening. Stayed up to watch a bit. But im sleepy, and she seemed to have settled down a bit. So off to get some rest
