Is that a stupid question, your foaling season must be different...right?
:) Its the beginning of summer here. We don't really have 4 seasons here...just summer and winter. Its either hot or cold. Most mares foal in Sep (though this is quite early), Oct, Nov and Dec. Some in January/February too but those are considered fairly late. September is "spring" for us.

She SHOT a Gemsbok?!?!?!

Um yeah... The Namibian Border is about 1600km (more or less) from here.... hehehe

I live in South Africa, the country below Nambia...and I am in the East of the country (opposite end from Namibia).

Didnt want to offend anyone, she is a big hunter, she actually came back with 12 different animals, well, not yet, they give most the meat I guess to the villages,then , she gets the mounts....I would post more pictures but didnt want to take form that Beautiful Velvet...:) Waiting for foal...:)

Well the news from yesterday...

Velvet has really settled into her foaling stall and was even quieter last night than the night before. She has more milk too...still nto FULL udders but enough now!! And all her wax has fallen off, she also had some shiny droplets at the end of her teats...I am hoping this means she is very close!!! lol She is 7 days overdue today.

Her body shape has changed too, her belly is looking more pointy again, belly has dropped a bit, her pelvic muslces have dropped alot since day before!!! And her foofle was open a bit more last night...maybe 2 inches as opposed to the 1 inch of the day before...

So HOPEFULLY soon!!!!!

PS: I am "babysitting" 9 appies this evening, I just have to go feed them and stuff. :) They belong to a friend who as gone to the National appaloosa society awards, her one daughter has gone with her, the other has stayed home but she can't feed the horses as she has a compression fracture in the spine!! OW!!!!
