2016 Foals Due

My mare finally foaled- 2 weeks late, after 3 weeks of watching as she did look ready!
Lovely smart black colt, Fabrice Van Overis x Weston Justice x Fleetwater Opposition. He's doing really well so far :)

13 days to go (but i think she will go over) Not showing many signs of foaling. Think we are going to have a big foal.


Callie (ISH) is in foal to Tolan R (KWPN). My first foal and Callie's second, SO EXCITED!!

He's called Jumbo Jet, as my sister (his technical owner!) was on a plane to Kuwait at the time he was born. Jet also works quite well with the black colouring :)

I love where names come from like that! We had a colt foal 2 years ago (Crosshill Aurora after the National winner Auroras Encore which OH had backed) and we'd been shopping that day for stuff for our new house at Wilkos....so he became Wilko! Two years on and he's living in Skipton with his new owner and is still called Wilko. Love to have a story behind a name :) Jet is absolutely gorgeous!
 
My Connemara mare is due end of May, first foal for me! I bought the mare last summer having bought her beautiful foal 4 years previously which turned out to be a cracking pony! Hoping for more of the same! She hadn't been covered in 3 years so took a bit of work hence the late foaling! In foal to Builders Delight really excited to meet the new arrival!

Sounds very exciting: would love to see photos. Another month to wait! At least the weather might have warmed up a bit then.

Can't believe you're still waiting! Is she looking more ready?

I'd like to say yes, but I might be optimistic there!
No sign of any milk
Bag is reasonably small, but in the last 3 days has gone fairly hard
Flaps are a bit swollen now but not particularly elongated
Muscle tone only slightly loose

She has gone more quiet and soppy and has given up galloping around the field.

Who knows!
 
All very easy, placenta within 30 mins, he's up, pooed, drinking and mum is being brilliant.
She seems to have come up in a weird rash? Vet up soon to do a check on everything 😃





 
Oh my gosh, he's lovely! Congratulations again, and I'm glad everything went like clockwork. I'm sure the rash is not going to be a problem! Mum and baby are an absolute picture, and she looks besotted!
 
Oh wow , he looks a beauty. More photos needed when he goes out in the field . Congratulations. This thread has made me broody !
