Bought pony in foal?!!

[dottylottie]

i can’t take any more of the excitement to disappointment when people comment on this!!

lilys neighbour is also due to foal, she’s surpassed her due date now and every evening i leave asking her to PLEASE pop it out tonight

 

[Ample Prosecco]

I was sure that finally we would have foal pics!

This was my mare 2 days before foaling



And then the day of foaling- I would normally expect a bigger pH drop before foaling and her udder was very tight, not letting down much at all (and certainly not milk), but her behaviour told me she was ready (pacing the field, restless)

Teats are pointing down. You’re in the danger danger high voltage time now hehe. Good luck! Hope it all goes smoothly.

 

[Asha]

How exciting

how’s her back end looking ? Is she jelly like around her tail head ?

 

[EventingMum]

I used the pH strips for my mare with a BOGOF foal as we had no idea of a covering date. Her pH dropped right down 10 days before foaling and stayed down so it wasn't really much help to us!

I’ve just seen alit of posts that have said it will change to a more cloudy white colour just before x

Colostrum is an off white colour just like ours

 

[Errin Paddywack]

According to Google:
Mare's Colostrum is the thick, sticky, yellow-white fluid produced by the mare's udder. It is highly nutritious, having higher levels of protein, fat, vitamins, sugars & minerals than regular milk. The most important contents of the colostrum are the maternal immunoglobulins.

Not a HHO'r there are many of us on here!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

We do love a BOGOF. But we prefer other people's.....

 

[splashgirl45]

[Catbird]

[Dustygirl]

Oh I thought there might be a foal !!

 

[Maxidoodle]

Come on foalie!!!

 

[AmyMay]

It’ll be tonight. Coldest night of the year with a chance of snow. Had to be right?

 

[nagblagger]

We should have had a HHO sweepstake on the month, day it arrives and the sex.Winner gets a cuddle with the foal.
Maybe for the next bogof thread.?

 

[Snow Falcon]

I'm not the only one who gets excited when I see a new post on this thread. But I think we get slack vulva and teats pics before foal pics appear.

 

[fraggle bells rock]

Another that keeps checking this thread just in case.
Good luck for an easy foaling

 

[Nikkimac23]

Still nothing we’re expecting thick snow here in Cumbria tomorrow and Friday great timing

 

[Hepsibah]

She's keeping us all guessing isn't she?

 

[Nikkimac23]

I’m demented I’m so tired I can’t keep this up much longer

 

[nagblagger]

[Nikkimac23]

My daughter has just come back up and says ph is now between 6 and 6.2 and huge wax beads sitting on her teats x
