Cassie's foaling thread ***Foal has arrived***

This is Cassie "Hoboy Hand". When I bought her she was already in foal to "Im your guy" (palomino). Cassie is a triple registered foundation bred broodmare, and "Guy" (whom I do not own) is an exceptional ranch and calf roping horse, and a son of Frenchmans Fabulous. This is Cassies 5th foal, and her previous 4 were all fillys. Her first, second and third foals were all out of a foundation bred grulla stud. First baby was black and second and third were grulla. Cassies sire and full sister were also grulla, so she carries the gene for it... not too familiar with the gene AA, EE, Aa, Ee, etc... only read on it just a little here recently. In 2011 she was bred with "Guy" for the first time and she had a little sorrel filly in 2012. She was left out in the pasture with him (Guy) after foaling, (I did not own her then, and she will not be in the pasture with a stud when she foals this year) so, she may have been bred back on her 9 day heat... if this were the case then Cassie is due to foal between March 26th and April 7th. I have no way of knowing her exact foal date, but I am expecting a baby sooner rather than later. She is already bagging up and starting to relax in her tailhead. I will post pictures of her tomorrow morning when I can take a few in the daylight, but for now I will post a few from 3 or 4 months ago so you can have a visual of Cassie and her "baby daddy". Im crossing my fingers for a palomino stud colt this year, but we will enjoy whatever she has.

Thank you!!!
We had a good little storm last night... hail and high winds... still no baby. Id rather the little stinker be born in fair weather anyway so cassie isn't nervous and I can really get in there and imprint the little love. And if he were ready to come out last night would've been the night for it, so im chalking it up to him preferring to be a rolly Polly when he makes his debut ;-)

almost 80and degrees here today... cold front and storms moving in the next 3 days ... cassie is super grouchy and holding her tail up alot. Still no waxy nipples but they have a little white dust, like sugar sprinkles all on them. I get up every morning expecting to see some extra legs. If I quit looking and expecting she will pop I know, but I can't force myself to quit ;-)

Well, I didn't think it was possible, but her tail head is ALOT more sunken in today and her bag is even FULLER. Shes started pacing the fence line, biting her sides and swatting the heck out of her tail just in the last 10 minutes... If she doesn't foal tonight I am convinced her bag and belly will bust... oh, and her butt will completely slide off....

Well she's laid down and got back up twice now... But she did that last night too... Only difference between last night and tonight is her bag and butt... Oh, and her lady parts are gaping and a little oozy looking. If she doesn't push it out it might just fall out her rear is drooping so much!
