I find Suzie gets bigger in the morning, smaller at night... Sweety might pause like Suzie did, hopefully for not as long....

stress!! LOL
 
To be honest Jenny, I would be watching Sweety very closely - as I'm sure you are. I know that she looks and could have a little while to go yet, but her udder is at the point that it could fill very quickly as she goes into labour.

I cant remember if you have a home camera set up that you are watching? If not then pay particular attention to Sweety's 'moods' during the daytime. Many years ago I had a little mare that was never particularly friendly, but two weeks before her due date and with very little bag, she kept following me around everytime I went into the field. In my stupidity I just thought it was her 'changing a bit' due to being soon to foal. She foaled that evening in her stable before I went out for my first evening check and the foal never got out of the bag.

Well, we are all wiser, sadly, after the event, but since then I watch my mares like a hawk for ANY changes in their normal way of doing things, so just wanted to give you an example of what can happen to any of us, especially, as many of the others will know, when we just pop to the loo, or misread the signs and go indoors for a quick cuppa!

Glad to hear you got a good night's sleep last night - hope you get the same tonight and then feel even better tomorrow.

I hope you feel better very soon, prayers of healing. I too have had a foal last month not make it because I missed the birth. the night she had it, she just pawed at the ground a little, shoved everyone out of the way to eat, and that was it! I missed it. That's is what made me decide to put stormy on Marestare. I am so excited for Sweety, she is looking close.

. I dont get to post often but try to read when i have a few minutes but just wanted to tell you again what a darling little girl Sweety is. does she have one of those types of manes that never tangle? I have one horse whos mane looks like your little Sweety...it always just stays nice and soft!! What color is she when she sheds out...I love her color now but was just wondering as sometimes they are so different!

thank you ,,she is palimino i think never rugged her

i would say she a dark palimino if she was rugged

yer main stays like that dont have to brush her

Yes, she would have my full attention too bc even though her tummy doesn't look quite ready her teats are pointing straight down so she could be a sly one.

she been acting very different today standing in the one corner swishing her tail lots and very jumpy when you touch

her belly or boobys...i think she starting to get uncomfortable
 
Beware of mares standing alone in corners! Although I'm sure she's probably just feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Is she alone in her paddock, she really shouldn't be with other mares when she foals - little Lyric had a bit of a shaky start when caught up in the rush of the other mare to see her/take possession of her, and was quite exhausted that first day.

Do you have enough space in a barn/enough stables to be able to bring a companion in with her and in view of her? Sorry, I have no idea of your place/set up, just trying to throw out suggestions. Also it is easier to be right there at the birth if the mare is 'restricted' in some way - not easy either if you are having to fend off other nosey mares!

It is great that you have a foaling alarm on her, but I have heard tales of some of them refusing to re-set properly after they have been set off. (Sorry again, never seen or used one of these so not sure how they work!)

I still think Sweety has a little way to go, but these sneaky mare often like to suprise us. LOL!!
