That'll do for me - she's not keen on my keep looking at her nether regions anyway

Oh my you better go squeeze her cause this has been a LONG wait and my husband keeps asking me why people are taking pictures of their mare hooshoos and posting them online. LoL

Seriously, I've gone from taking photos of my kids, to lifting Foxy's tail and saying "Smile"! I never thought i'd be doing this in my wildest dreams

I would love to be able to breed a horse just once but either mare I have now I am just not willing to risk to breed them. (to attached to my mares to take a chance with breeding) that's why I watch on here so I can enjoy pictures of everybody else. The past few weeks I have been watching and waiting and I showed my husband pictures of Foxy and he was blown away. He said he felt so bad for her cause she is huge and had dropped so much.

I'm going to give her the weekend and if she hasn't foaled by then, give the vet a ring to come out on Monday just to check everything's ok. She's happy in herself, eating like a horse (ahem), the foal's moving, but the sheer size of her (not that i've any "live" experience apart from Foxy) would suggest she's ready to pop adn has been for a few weeks! She's normally quite a slight frame, so I think this pregnancy makes her look enormous. A friend who has experience with horses offered to do an internal, but I declined - I'd rather the vet do it in case there's anything that goes wrong..... but the bottom line is I'm just not patient person at all

To be honest, I share the same views about any unnecessary breeding (both of my dogs are spayed lol). Fox was bred as this was my son's girlfriends "dream and future career" (Fox was put with her stallion) - 3 months later after the deed was done, his girlfriend left him so of course we've stepped in to help him with Foxy, but if she hadn't have been in foal, she'd never have been put in foal with us. We'll be keeping the foal with her (and having it gelded if it's a little man!) but that'll be her lot. I won't breed my dogs in case anything goes wrong - i've overloaded on info about foaling as I feel it's my responsibility to know as much as I can for Foxy's sake (even though she's better equipped than me at this ). But the bottom line is we love her and i'd be heartbroken if anything happened to her. It is exciting though and I really can't wait xx

Not a sausage (or a foal) yet.

She seems a bit uncomfortable today whilst eating - usually, it'shead in bucket, and she doesn't come up for air until she's licked it clean - but doay, she was stamping around, and lifting her legs and just generally seemed restless. But hey, i've been "sure she's going to foal tonight" so it could jsut be the wind that's bothering her haha - or the daylight - or the fact it's Friday

I'm going to be a dribbling mess by the end of this.

My son's boss's daughter is a large animal vet abd she's visiting her dad this weekend so she's going to come and give her a check over and see what's what.

The foals still active, so not concerned there, but as it's our first time, it'll be peace of mind (again, i'm not patient at all so this is driving me crazy)!

Hubby's hoping it'll be born this Sunday as it's Mother's Day and he said that can be my gift - tight bugger!

It's Mother's Day sunday? What country would that be? Here it is another 2 months away..........
