I've posted a couple of times on here whilst my two mares were in foal. They have both foaled and have both had fillys. Hope the link works to the photos as i'd really like to share them with you all. Thanks for anyone that has given advice with past posts...

loving the grandmother by the way! I call mine the grandkids! I had my first foal born 3wks ago and i was worried to that she didnt seem to be feeding for long amounts of time, just little and often. Spoke to numerous knowledgable people and they all assured my this was normal. Good luck with...

thanks for that, nothing to worry about then?

When bringing in my mare last night i noticed she had a large circular swelling between her front legs. Its quite flat and round and covers the whole area between her two legs. Its quite wobbly and doesnt cause her any discomfort. Any ideas what it could be? She has another week or so to go...

Mine and my mares first attempts at breeding have paid off. She had a little bay filly at 3.30am this morning. I was so proud of her, she didnt stress much and has took to being a mommy for the first time so well. Any ideas how to post piccies and ill put some up! x

thanks guys for the reasurrance. Ill post some piccies soon x

the foaling alarm im looking to buy has a sweat based sensor and also has the back up of a sensor for when they lie in the foaling positon which can be turned off if you wanted to. ideally id have cctv but cant due to living just over a mile away, unless anyone knows a way round this?

thanks that would be greatly appreciated

I have heard about this but cant seem to find where to buy them from - any ideas?

Hi - Im new to here and this is my first attempt at posting something! I have two mares due to foal in March and Im trying to buy a Wyke GSM Foaling alarm but due to them currently being upgraded Im having difficulty finding one due to none of the old model left and delays in the new version...
