Foal watch 2009. :)

my goodness they look very painfully preggers. I cant wait to see all the babies. im sure all you mommas cant wait either.

good to know- thanks!

They both look pretty prego to me too, Equus. Wow, this thread is multiplying. ;D I haven't heard anything about Bessie so I am gonna assume not. I made my step-mom promise to call if she foaled while I was in Amarillo at work. I will be back up there sometime either tonight or early tomorrow morning. I hope she holds out until then and then has it immediately after I get home. :/ I am not a very patient person and I WANT A BABY!!!! LOL.

I've been watching this thread as a guest for a very long time an I made an account just so it would be easier to see any new posts (:
Those two mares both look pregnant Equus, looks like you have your hands full!
I can't wait to see what these foals look like, we've all been waiting so long!
Best of luck to everyone, and especially the owners who are putting in countless hours, days, and weeks into these mares!
All the best,
.Lassie.

I hope those 3 mares all foal at different times, maybe even different days. I couldn't imagine running back and forth to 3 stalls if they were all in labor around the same time.

I've been checking this thread every day hoping someone's waiting game is over.

((((HFV))))

Yes, I think I do have my hands full! Three mares is going to be a lot! They foal in the pasture so I don't think I'll get to see all of them foal, but I'm planning on putting Star in the corral and watching her all night (yes all night!) when I see wax, as she is a bit older than the others and retained her placenta last year. I want to make sure she has no problems this year. If anyone has any tips for keeping awake all night I'd love to hear them!!

I'm positive Chaustise is pregnant now - I even felt the baby move!! These mares are going to be the death of me if they don't hurry and foal!

As for staying awake all night.......coffee, lots and lots of coffee. Or, if you don't like it, some of those energy drinks like monster or rock star are good. I don't much care for red bull. But if you choose those, beware that they can make you jittery and sometimes wear off in just a couple or 3 hours so you would need more than 1 probably. >,< LOL

Hey Equus. Congratulations on your big news! You will be busy. My son does energy shots that you can buy at the check out of gas stations. No idea what they are like.

Anyway, good news. Lakota is on Marestare. The link follows. So you know, she is not locked in her stall yet. I don't feel she is close enough and she is not used to being locked in. I am going to put her in for a few hours at a time and see how she does. I will keep you posted so you know when she is close.

Thanks for the info - I don't drink coffee but I'll try to get some energy drinks. I'm going to need something to keep me awake - lol!

That's great Lakota is up on marestare. It will be fun to watch her!
