How long to foaling??

[Connie73]

Hi,
I am new to the forum, I have a connemara 6 year old mare due to foal soon, she is 332 days today, she had her first foal last year at 347 days. She started to bag up in the last couple of weeks, and has tiny yellow plugs at the end of her teats, last year she developed white wax at 346 days and foaled at 9am the next morning. She looks very relaxed around the vulva area, and her belly is dropping (although you wouldnt think so by looking at the pics, she hardly looked pregnant at all until a few weeks ago).

These pics were taken this morning, what do you think regarding how long? I have a feeling she will go before the due date this year.

Only clue I can see is her teats are still pointing inwards! Have never known a mare foal like this so I would think you have a while yet BUT I would be on foal watch now just incase.

Nice mare by the way and Good Luck xx

Thanks Holly, we are just keeping a close eye on her at present, I havent started sitting all night yet, so I hope she doesnt surprise us, although it would great to have little foalie safely here.

I would also say she isnt bagged up enough yet to foal however things can change really quickly so keep a close eye on her!!!!
