Foal watch 2009. :)

With Misty she was relaxed in the back end for a month almost, bagged for well over a week, no wax, no dripping and foaled around 8-830am.

close2perfect...where are you in OK? I am in OKC.

i love horsie babies! good luck all!

I'm about 80 miles from OKC

Wow, more people in my area. Yay!!

Anyway, I am now back in Amarillo so I will have to depend on Dad to notify me if Bessie foals and to get pix. I was hoping she would hurry up and now I am hoping she will wait until my next days off starting tuesday. Maybe she can't make up her mind cause I can't make up mine. LOL. I just really hope that I get to be there when it happens and see the sure enough "newborn". :)

Good luck cayuseranch. I hope your girl foals at a good time.

I was away for the weekend, but LT hasn't foaled yet. She's getting a little closer though. I got some clear milk from her nipples today, but its not sticky at all so I think she's got at least a week to go. She needs to get more relaxed in her hindquarters too.

Hope everyone else's mares are doing well! It will be nice when all of our mares foal and we can put up cute pictures of the babies!!

Atleast you didn't miss the big event equus.

Lakota seems to be back peddaling in some ways and in others moving forward..

Her utters are getting more slack rather then full and yesterday I couldn't get any milk out. Today I got two drops but still clear.

Her hindquarters seem harder instead of softer.

But her vulva is definately more elongated.

Other than that she seems completely normal.

Yes! I would not want to miss it! I was fairly sure she wouldn't foal while I was gone and my family was able to check on her so it worked out well.

Hopefully you don't have too much longer to wait with Lakota! Mares can be so tricky! LT's udder isn't getting big at all yet, but it does have a little milk. She usually doesn't bag up very much, so maybe she's closer to foaling than she looks.

oh no! another thread I will be addicted to.
I can't wait to see the pictures of the babies.

Well, at least we put them all together so you only have 1 thread to check instead of 3. LOL.

Still no change with Bessie. I talked to my step-mom yesterday afternoon and asked her to call if we ended up with a foal before I got back home. Before I left on Friday morning, I was getting as much clear milk as I wanted out of both teats and her bag was pretty darn full. I didn't stick my finger in the stream to see if it was thick and sticky but some did get on my boot. She had one renegade stream that shot sideways. :) LOL.
