Mare Stare Thread

I personally just watch as a visitor.
This would have come in VERY handy when we lost one of my mares foals a few years ago


Tonight I have 3 up

New Horizons Ranch Cam 1
The two lovely beauties on this^ were both due yesterday and the bay andalusian was acting pretty uncomfortable last night but no babeh

Pacific Pintos Cam 1
This cutie little rollie pollie

Trio Quarter Horses Cam 1
And these lovelies

I wish I could watch longer but I have come down with a cold which when I get them I get slammed with the feeling that someone punched me in the nose and its broken and swollen. Blowing one's nose every 3 minutes isn't pleasant. I lasted until 2am last night. Tonight, I surrender now. I want my bed and pillows! Good night all and praying for a safe foaling for everyone.

I'm thinking that Tequila at Pacific Pintos and LaDigna at Faith Farm are the closest out of the ones I've been watching....especially LaDigna!

The high alert can only be activated by cam owner & moderators.The barn alarm link will show which cams have alerts on them.

so if I open up the Barn Alarm page thing and somebody activates one it will yell at me and pop up on that screen?

The barn alarm page shows any cams with high or low alerts on them.They make audible galloping horse or whinny sounds,lol. Kinda annoying actually.If no cameras have alert triggered the page will not show anything.
I usually don't check that too much but go on the message board{foaling alerts & updates section} & read the updates of those watching to see which cams may be good to check.The cam links will be given at the beginning of OP's thread,with the horse info. Horses that are actively foaling{high alert} they usually will have a "now" icon beside the thread & will be at top of page

Oh my gosh... I never knew you could watch these!!! Amazing!! Looks like I have something else to take up my time, haha.

Allright im calling it quits. Im going cross eyed from staring at the screen and flipping tabs lol

But I have the barn alarm doohickey thing up and if im not a complete looby it should work.

Hopefully it doesn't scare the shiznit outta me if it wakes me up lol

Last year I witnessed my first foaling ever via Marestare, and I was hooked!

This little cutie, Blondie, is currently at a rescue near me. She's not my horse, and I'm not affiliated with the rescue, but I've been watching her updates on Facebook, and now they've got her on marestare. She's getting pretty close: Gerdas Animal Aid Cam 1

^^IKNOWRIGHT. I caught 2 last year I think. One was the Premier Friesian baby that everybody was pissed about. And another where they almost lost it. He guy ended up doing mouth-to-mouth and reviving it. It was pretty crazy

So far this year I saw Dancer's colt born (the cute painted mini foal on Wild Spirit Ranch's cam.

Their other mare appears very very close and so does LaDigna on another cam. I have to clean tonight and I'll be checking in every few seconds.

Haha...minutes...I meant minutes...although it will probably end up being seconds.
