Re: Foal due wednesday!

Join me in the wait.My mare is 335 days tomorrow so due anytime now.
Trouble is with mares is the window for giving birth is so long and just to be difficult they never run by the book.
My other mare never bagged up at all until the foal was born.

Well I havent got a foal yet, shes bagged up a bit more today but thats it. No wax or anything yet!

Oh blimey.. its awful when they do that! One of mine did it and she ended up giving birth in the field! I just had no idea she would do it, no wax, no bagging up.. nothing!

Day 343.... shes bagged up alot more today - although she is a swine to allow you to touch her tummy or even look! Just waiting for the wax to appear now - then she will be going into the foaling shed and I will be camping out with the night vision camera on in the caravan.. happy days

any sign of your girl yet?

Re: Foal due wednesday!

She is bagging up a bit more and had a tiny bit of wax yesterday.
I hate the waiting game though don't you.
Just want it here and standing so I know it is safe.
What breed is your mare and what is the sire?

Yes its an awful waiting game!! Gale has some wax on there today - brought her into the foaling shed, just in-case.. she has a habit of dropping them without warning!

Shes a Welsh Sec B and the stallion is a coloured (red & white) riding pony. I have bred riding ponies for years and i have never owned a coloured, so aimed for something different this time!

What about you?

Re: Foal due wednesday!

I keep checking here for my mum who's into horses and is waiting to see a picture of the new foal but still no news. Is she showing any signs of going into labour.

Re: Foal due wednesday!

Mine is a dutch warmblood mare and the sire is Millenium the grand prix dressage stallion.
Still all calm here foal kicking like a mad thing today.Slight change in bag but other than that nothing.
