Windy Hill ~Izzie **Colt pics pg 36**

[jessj]

These pics do not show very well what I see in person. It is almost like a big lump under the bottom of her tummy where the foal is resting...I cant think of another way to explain it!

 

[jessj]

O! I forgot to mention that the test strips came today! (thanks megan) Still couldnt get any milk tho...

 

[Bonny]

I think thats Izzies V shape

Looks pointy...should be soon now!

 

[jessj]

Her tummy doesnt look quite so "pointy" today...i tried to take a pic this morning but it was still to dark. I am going to run back home in a little bit. I will get some pics of her and of Magic then! I did get some udder shots this morning. I think the teats are starting to seperate!

 

[jessj]

Didnt have time to do Magic pics but I did get a couple of Izz's tummy. It still doesnt show as well on camera as what I see in person.

 

[Bonny]

Oh still looks pointy to me, getting closer! Now come on Izzie get that fore udder growing!

 

[MeganH]

Woo hoo! I am seeing a point there, Jess! She is getting closer and closer!

Glad you got the strips in time!

I love Magic too! Can't wait for more pictures!

Edit:

Here are the pictures I said I'd show you. Laney was slower at filling then Izzie has been. She started filling a month before foaling I think.

Laney's udder 4 days before foaling:

The day of foaling:

In the morning:

at 8pm- 2 hours before she foaled:

I couldn't get milk until the day she foaled and she filled a bit during the day.

I know what you mean about photos not showing what you can see lol. I reckong its coz they're not 3D, but you can still see that point happening.

Congrats on Magic, you must be stoked!

 

[jessj]

Wow Megan! Now thats an udder! I dont think that Izz is ever going to get an udder that awesome...

I am excited, but I dont think it will really hit me until there is a foal on the ground. After all the waiting that I did for Darla and then it was a false pregnancy it feels like I have been waiting for 2years!

 

[jessj]

Congrats on Magic, you must be stoked!

Thanks! I am SO EXCITED!!! I cannot wait until summer...I am ready to clip and dye manes and tails now! They just weaned her last foal and she is a little thinner than I like. Not too bad, but could use a little on her topline. I have a question... She has been with the leopard stallion since her last foal was born, but they havent seen her in heat. Do you think that she would have bred on her foal heat? I am just trying to figure out how far along she might be....

 

[jessj]

Izzie at 5pm. I know that her girly bits and udder still dont look ready, but her tummy is looking even more V'd. When I pull up in my drive I can see her stall/lot. She heard me pull up and came out of her stall. She started calling and pacing around like she was looking for the other horses (wich were standing just accross the fence from her) then stopped, yawned three times and started pacing and calling again. I walked around to her lot and she came up to me. I picked out her stall and put more hay down then fed her. When I came inside she was just standind there eating like nothing was out of the ordinary...very curious.

 

[jessj]

Other than that, I think it's very kind to give the little mommas a few weeks off! LOL!

I agree!

The mule was born on July 22. So if she took during her foal heat she will be due in mid june? I guess that would be better than late in the summer when it is super hot.

 

[lexischase]

Wait Izzie is due in june???

 

[jessj]

No my new mare Magic is due possibly as early as june! Izzie was pasture bred...don't know an exact due date, but anytime now!

 

[lexischase]

I was going to say.... Sorry for the confusion LOL this fever must really be getting to me now. I can definitely see Izz's "V" I can't wait for this baby to arrive

 

[jessj]

I'm sorry that you are sick...hope you feel better soon!

Izz has the V down pat, now if she could just get the milk bar ready! This will be the first foal from my stallion Ferrari...I can hardly wait!

 

[jessj]

Thanks Diane! I have pics of Magic with her last foal to share! (have permission) This is the little mini mule from July...notice the striped hooves! That HAD to come from Magic. She is starting to show some white hairs on her rump too...

Pics of Izz this morning did not turn out great because I was running behind. She looks pretty much the same.

 

[Bonny]

OHHHHH so cute Love mini mules!

How is Izzie this am???

 

[jessj]

She was the same this morning, but I was in a big hurry and didnt get good pics. I HOPE that my thing i need to put her online came today! I will get good pics and post when I get home!

 

[MeganH]

Awww! I've never seen a mini mule. How adorable
