spirited is the a superb way of describing him, he actually tried to wriggle his way out once his head was out, it was amazing to see. He's so funny , he does a lap of honour every time he has a suckle !
 
A little update, so far so good. They have had a little time out in the field, both happy. Hes a real little character, quite bold and friendly.

He gets his vet check in the morning.

Amazing to see such character so early on. Poor mum is going to be exhausted!
 
Just one more photo as hes starting to unfold now

hes had the vet check, and his blood tested. Only because she was dripping milk for a few days, but all good. Our vet is pleased with him, so hopefully ow we can sit back and enjoy some foal watching.

Equi - your mare is a bundle of cuteness, cant wait to see her foal

good luck everyone x

My mares bagging up but still a ways to go. This time with my other mare she had fluid available but this mare has nothing.
 
Nor my foal. A colt born in Texas by my Shagya stallion Under Milkwood out of a friends Cleveland Bay mare. Conceived after one cycle of AI and pictured at about 14 days. He is called Griffin.

He's stunning !!! My mare is 332 maiden been bagging up since 280 so thought I was in for an early foal decent bag for last two weeks but just not filling fully can't get anything to test. She's a small standard shet. Tail has little resistance and she has jelly tail head but no fluid/milk to be expressed. I'm keeping a close eye though. ��Second maiden mare now approx 315 small bag but looks very close body shape wise.
 
This project was a long time being planned. It was a big risk for us as it cost a lot of money to collect for EU and USA. Longer time in the stallion centre and more tests. Risk for my friend too as although the contract was nfnf she would still have incurred vet bills for AI. She was delighted that the mare conceived first cycle, although we did guarantee 40% post thaw motility. She has had loads of likes on her FB page. He is a keeper as she is a Whip with a local hunt and her mare is already a performance horse. Everyone was happy in the end.
 
I did not want to steal your thunder Gabrielle but I am as thrilled as you are.

Rollin, your colt is an absolute stunner. What a super boy!

Hello all. So, we lost our little Dolly after the New Year and Paulo needed a mini companion, so Jakki came just under 3 months ago.
We knew there was a chance she'd be in foal, but it was obvious when the lorry door opened. She should foal within the next five weeks according to when she ran with the stallion, but I thought I'd pop a few pictures up and see if anyone wants to take a guess as to what we'll get and when. She's bagged up more today, but still not fully by any stretch. She's had a number of foals in the past. Her entire back end is like jelly but her vulva is only very slightly swollen and elongated...most wouldn't notice but I've been keeping tabs on it.

Personally, I think she's got another week to ten days to go, but...the way her muscles have all relaxed, she could easily surprise us. She's owned by the yard owners, but they live far away so she's my adopted little girl bless her. She was quite withdrawn when she came and I'm still working hard to sort her skin and coat out, but she's decided that me and Dan are the best thing ever and has become super clingy bless her.

She is 33" and a red dun I believe. She's passported as chestnut, but she has a defined dorsal stripe and red points (anyone feel free to wade in on that for me). She's in foal to a 29.5" smokey cream dun, so whether she's chestnut or red dun, we're likely to have a very nicely coloured foal.

Equi is following Jakki's journey on facebook too :)

Yes, Jakki's had a few but not for the past three years. Just keeping an eye without being annoying, lol. Good luck with yours x
 
Well it turned out she was just hiding her well. Lovely little filly arrived, a nice little surprise. Foryd Gweneira X Sharmon Rivaldo
