2023 Foals

[lexi lady]

broodmare on my yard miscarried yard owner wants to try again but i think it to late in the season .

 

[dominobrown]

I only have one, the other one didn’t take and think it would be best to wait I till next year now.
The one that is in foal is to Sligo Candy Boy out of a Hollywood (Concorde) mare. Scanned with heartbeat

Fab news! I think you get excited now and then worry every moment from now on until they are safely on the ground, then you carry on worrying for the rest of their lives

Thank you! I’ll be past myself by 60 day scan - why did I do this again? ?

 

[Bikerchickone]

Why, oh why, does it feel like my blob scan is taking forever to come around? Anyone?

Also, does anyone know if constantly saying to your mare, 'think blue baby' helps in any way? I guess I'll find out

Don't want much do I?

 

[milliepops]

Everything feels like its taking forever!

I'll send colt vibes if you send my girl filly ones ?

You're on!

What's the betting we each end up with the opposite?

 

[milliepops]

yup, quite possible!!

 

[HappyHackerK8]

Does anyone ever have the autumn/fall scan done? I’m wondering how I’ll possibly get through the winter months without knowing if all is well or not ?

Yes, need 1st Oct just in case it’s slipped because those are the semen terms

If you both get colts does that increase my chances of a filly ???

 

[milliepops]

that's not very sporting!!

We’ve just had a healthy 45 day scan. Opted for this over the 60 day scan as A) I’m impatient
B) want the sex to be a surprise at birth.

So my vet has basically signed me off now until foaling (other than vaccines etc!) I don’t need the Fall scan, so I’m left just to worry about all being well! I may go for the 1st October scan anyway - unless there are any other ways to know all is well??? ?

Also, does anyone know of any good pregnancy development apps/websites. My kids are beyond excited and would like to be able to show them some nice visuals of how our little foal is cooking

We also had a 45 day scan this week. Vet is recommending equine herpes jab at 5 months next.

Same here x

 

[Bikerchickone]

We have a blob! Had to pinch one as there were two but vet back tomorrow to check again. Next scan after that will be the heartbeat one. I’m praying hard now!

 

[Ambers Echo]

Yay I can join in now. Amber (by Beachball) is in foal to Legrande. She scanned in foal to twins, one has been pinched and all is well. So far. Just 300+ days of stress and worry to go...

I'm also wanting filly vibes please x

Congratulations! You could try a 60day scan . They can sometimes tell gender then depending on how foal is lying . I don’t like to know as I enjoy the surprise. But daughter asked and vet thinks we are having a filly . How they can tell from those grainy scans amazes me !

 

[HappyHackerK8]

Amber has her October scan on Friday, couldn’t get in any closer as they are so busy! I’m super nervous…it’s so odd not having a clue if they are in foal or not! I’m getting used to the constant worry that breeding brings…is she fit enough, is she eating enough, is she happy, relaxed, pregnant???? ?‍?

 

[HappyHackerK8]

The foal was hiding from the scanner today! But the vet said she could definitely feel a foal! I guess that’s it now apart from vaccines etc - 1/4 of the way there ?

 

[ihatework]

Millie had her 1st October scan today and all looking good, can’t believe I’m now half way to a foal. Currently the size of a rabbit apparently

 

[HappyHackerK8]

Too soon for a bump??? At 100 ish days we should not be showing…but it’s either a grass belly or definite signs of growth ?

 

[Asha]

We’ve just bought another broodmare . She’s a class 1 5YO 15.3 ID and already in foal . Due around the same time as my other mare. So end of May / beginning of June should be busy for us . Only a head shot at the minute as it’s been hard to get a flattering one .. she’s a bit err ‘well’

 

[Ambers Echo]

She looks sweet!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Oh she's lovely! Who is she in foal to?

 

[Asha]

Thank you ! She’s a cracking mare and I’m chuffed to bits to be able buy her . shes in foal to Classic Scott . She’s by Corrindon Dancer out of a touch of the blues mare.
looking at her she’s quite maxicob in type so Classic Scott is a good choice for her as he’s more streamline ?

 

[Asha]

She looks sweet!

considering her size albeit only 15.3 she’s some bone , so feels bigger when she’s prancing around . But she is very sweet and kind
