*Foal did not make it* - Foal due soon! Color/sex guesses?
This is a discussion on *Foal did not make it* - Foal due soon! Color/sex guesses? within the Horse Breeding forums, part of the Horse Breeds, Breeding, and Genetics category
I'm going to start posting some pictures as her foaling gets closer so you guys can give some guesses on what the baby's birthday may be!
Photos below were taken June 23rd at 315 days pregnant.
Starting to show a small bag and vulva is elongating (as far as I can tell, I never really checked it prior to this so I can't guarantee that she isn't a mare with a naturally elongated vulva). However this is her first foal so I'm going to assume that she is elongating in relation to the impeding pregnancy.
Photos from last night, June 28 at 320 days pregnant.
Bag still small but showing waxing. Vulva still elongated but looking more relaxed. Mare is not showing ANY discomfort at this point and is just as rambunctious as ever.

And I was also about to post Smooth Sunny, so I like that one!
I noticed this evening her milk vein is starting to swell her belly is dropping slightly. She doesn't seem as energetic as normal although that could be completely unrelated since we're going through a pretty bad heat spell and heat index has hit mid 100's daily which these horses are NOT used to. Still just a small bag although I've heard that a lot of maiden mare may not get a large bag until they actually foal.
Photos from today...
Showing belly dropping some:
Milk vein:
Still fairly relaxed/elongated:
Whole mare (though the photo does her NO justice and makes her belly look tiny compared to what it is, although she is carrying very wide so it's a hard angle to see):
