Foal Watch 2020

My girl is making me chuckle. Such a laid back girl normally but got very cheeky recently. Runs away from my son when needing to be caught. Bounces on her toes being led back to the field. Tosses her head at feed time. Become rather a diva. I hope she settles back down when the foal is born!!

As a first timer I'm finding the whole thing utterly fascinating but my mare is currently extremely cwtchy, she's pretty gooey anyway but she is very keen on cuddles at the moment, I love it ?

Pips is like this just now, normally quite chilled about life (except when ridden then she is a turbo pony!) She has been coming in overnight for the last few days and it takes me 10mins to catch her everyday because she goes for a yeehaa and then in the mornings she literally bounces out of her stable and drags me to the field. Once turned loose she just meanders off like it's no biggy! The way she goes out you expect a firecracker to go off!

Mares really are daft at times!
 
Oh wow, congratulations, so beautiful :)
Still playing a waiting game here, stayed up on foal watch all last night and nothing, but this morning (in the rain of course :rolleyes:) she now appears to be in first stages of labour and watching her very closely, so will keep you all posted :-)

We have a foal... YAAY

he was finally born @ 5am Friday 8th May, just in time for VE day celebrations, a bright bay colt with two white socks and just adorable.

He and mum are doing brilliantly and he was up and drinking, pooping within the hour

he is very bold already and loves a bum scratch, cannot believe he is here and mine :-)
