Good morning everyone...

There is still no foalie, but definitely a change!

The stuff coming out of her udders is no longer a golden colour, but is now a cloudy white

It is still not running down her legs or anything, but when I applied a slight pressure it came squirting out all over my johdpurs (lovely!)

Her bed was an absolute disaster area this morning. She had pawed it all up (I sat and watched her doing it last night via the CCTV monitor almost in tears because I have OCD when it comes to my beds) and did a lot of rolling and groaning.

Here are some pics of this morning for you:


Mum, I am so fed up of you taking pictures of my lady areas...

Thanks Rema... she is starting to lose a bit of condition in my opinion, especially over the past two days. Her spine is starting to show, and although you can't see it on thse photos, you can now see the faint outline of her ribs. I have given her a bit extra food, although our haylage has just gone really lovely so hopefully that will help too.

It will be tonight then! - my girl waited until I had gone to the pub with my friend for a 'quick' drink!
 
I'm off to buy a huge cork then...

Seriously though, from when it turns this colour, how long should I be looking at until a Hanlette arrives? I am sure someone on here said something about it. I have read it one of my books, but they are all at the caravan and I was rushed for time this morning with a bucking excited Grace when I was trying to ride

Hey looks like she's getting close. Atleast she done something now to cheer you up eh? Must have reading our messages yesterday xx
 
Lenny - I think she must have been

Just glad there is some change because I have felt that there was nothing changing apart from how large the bags under my eyes were getting

LOL! If its any consolation i only got 3 hours of sleep last night due to trying to finish my dissertation. I'd rather watch Hannah for 6 weeks every night than do the bloody thing! lol.
 
Taken from a website on breeding

The udder gradually will fill with milk, then as parturition nears, the mare may begin to drip milk. At first, the "milk" will be more of a clear fluid, then it will turn the more familiar white. The milk will, within a few days to hours before the birth of the foal, turn from white to a sticky yellow, which is the colostrum, or first milk. The udder will appear to be very large and full with a clear grey wax-like coating all over it. Tiny white dots may surround the teats which will also be very full and droplets of milk may form a wax like substance on the ends of the teats. (waxing up) When this occurs foaling is usually imminent .
 
I though she was running milk last night but it just looks like shes got wee bits of wax.
If shes really running proper milk and this is possibly her 1st foal then it should be tonight or sooner if its not running itself but just big blobs then the same , its hard to say if you dont know the mare has foaled before or not for definate.
