Her sides are pretty even and they dip in at the hips

The Pic looking at her from side on looks like the foal has dropped. I dont think you will have much longer to wait now

326 days will be this Thursday and 330 next Monday!
I'm hoping to start seeing some new changes this week.

I'm running neck and neck with you. My mini mare is looking like yours with udders and vagina. So exciting!

I know i said i wasn't going to do it anymore but its been a long time and it was only a drop, but i checked to see if she had milk, and its still clear.

Udders and belly 325 days.
Belly looks more V'd today to me.

Id be watching her like a hawk at this stage.

When do they start producing colostrum and milk? Does it all depend on the mare? Or is it something that gradually happens over days or weeks?

 

[Ryan Johnson]

She has already started to produce milk and colostrum. The Colostrum is the first drink your foal will receive off its mum. It is by far the most important drink that he/she will ever get. In comparison to milk its a little yellowier and sticky. Your mare will continue to produce colostrum for the first 24 hours, then you will notice it go whiter and thinner in consistency.

Oh okay! I checked her today and only got 1 drop just to check. And it was still clear and watery.

I can't wait for your updates! I'm trying not to get excited yet about mine as we lost our first earlier this year. I just want to see ours healthy, strong, alive. We will be getting a mini mule this time. I'm assuming that because mama is a mini mare, gestation is still the same? We are at day 324.

Day 326 and she's still the same lol! Maybe it won't be much longer. July 13th is 342 days! From all the progress she's making i don't think she'll go to 342 so maybe one day next week. I hope! Lol!

If you have look at her udder you can notice there is still a crease down the middle, This should start to go over the next few days as it continues to fill.

Good Luck & wishing you the safest of deliveries

Ill try to check in whilst im away !!

P.S Denisern06 good luck to you too I have my fingers crossed for a safe arrival for you
