How is Mary today JJS?

She's great, although Mary herself might argue that carrying around so much extra weight is less than fun! Her bag and bum muscles have changed little since yesterday, and her tummy is so big now that it can't really expand any more from this point forwards!

Today we had a little rearrange of her stable, to get everything ready for foalie arriving, and although she was quite happy to have her hay on the floor...

... she was less impressed by the change of bucket! For some reason, she's always much preferred the white plastic ones, so she had to have a very long drink from each when I removed them to swap them for (what she sees as) a far inferior soft plastic tubtrug.

She'll be even less impressed once we're officially foal watching overnight and she has them replaced with her two food mangers hung over the door!

Despite the hardship of changing water buckets, she did still manage to strike a pose for you all. She wanted me to get her from her slimmest angle, but I don't think she really has one anymore!

Oh, well tell her to hang on for a few days and she might share the same birthday as my cob!

I'll ask her to try. She's at the point now where the Welsh daddy is definitely the most likely candidate, so the longer she goes, the more chance we have of a nice dilute baby at the end of it!

Can I add in a guess?
Palomino colt with lots of white (big blaze and 4 white stockings), on Sunday 7th. Good luck Mary!! I'm also going for a name suggestion - Joey!!

Honestly JJS she is such a pretty girl - what a beautiful head and kind eye.

I don't blame you for being scared, I'd be terrified too but as you'll be keeping such a close eye on her I am quite sure everything will be just fine. She'll probably wait till your back is turned, and pop her babe out!

Here's to a happy healthy Mary and foal in the not too distant.

I'm guessing a palomino and white colt either this weekend or mid next week!
Good luck Mary <3

 

[windand rain]

probably wont go this long but it would be nice for her to have her baby on 31st as it is my granddaughter and my young highlands birthday

Thank you, Po Knee! I know the chance of anything going wrong is only around five percent, but I still wish this was a planned foal so I could have sent her off to stud to be with the experts.

She really does have a pretty head, not a bad trait to have in a cob! Just a note on the boob pics, try to get them from infront of them if she will let you. You can tell so much more about their development.

Thanks, Equi I do have plenty of pictures from the front too, as she's perfectly happy for you to crawl under her tummy to take them. However, a combination of bad lighting in the stable, lots of long tummy hairs getting in the way, and Photobucket repeatedly deleting them means I haven't posted them.
