HA, now I definately have won!!
:D
 
Ohhhhhh seeing the baby pics makes the frustration and excitement tenfold!

What a strong looking foal!

Back to business - did she wax up? What signs made you aware he was well on the way? I've not bred many, but my mares have all either waxed up and foaled, or waxed up and dripped milk then foaled so I feel like I should be watching for wax because I don't think she can physically look much more "ready"
 
Gorgeous foal LilMissy, sadly nothing to report here, other than I am even more knackered than yesterday and it is now day 361, the 'Egg' as I have rechristened her is still an egg :(
 
I'm waiting too... I thought I was a reasonably patient person (with the horses that is, I'm most definitely not patient at work!) but am getting to the bottom of my reserves now.

My mare Jenny was due on the 7th May, she's been bagged up for around three weeks and last night she was leaking small drops of white milk from one teat. I've been milk testing for the last three weeks, it's easy to get fluid out of her but there's been no calcium in her milk at all. Some of her milk drops are a watery white, some are thick yellow, it's weird.

She teased me by lying flat out in the field for 25 minutes last Friday afternoon, I was watching from the house so as not to disturb her and when I finally decided to go out and see what was going on she got up in the time it took me to walk up the garden. Monkey!
 
mine's wax has vanished again.... dont quite understand how that works? still looking droopy behind, wish she'd hurry up!!

LilMissy- he's a crackin looking chap!

ElleSkywalker- doesn't sound like you've long to wait! il shall await baby pictures with bated breath :)
 
Well, stilll no foal, now on day 362 :(

However, her milk has turned from clear to milky and sweet so this is a sure sign for her that something will happen soon, I bleddy well hope so anyways as I feel I have been waiting for years at this point :confused:

ETA: I bet it is a colt, boys are always later

Well....?

I'm checking this topic constantly for updates. Today is day 353 for us. I'm not doing those tests, just waiting, and waiting, and ...
 
Amaranta, this is just getting silly now :( you must be just about dead.... what's her milk like now? mine had a tiny bit down her legs last night after being out during the day.
 
Laydees.... I suggest you try reverse psychology. Walk around your mares, looking interested and then declare loudly "Nope! She doesn't look ready to me...." and see if they defy you! ;)
 
i win :D :D :D
