I have one mare at 350 days who has been manically box walking the last 2 nights and very bagged up. Foal will be Samaii x Star of Orion x Dutch Courage
One mare at 325 days who is making slow but steady progress. That foal will be Showmaker x Stanhopes Dueka x Handsome Sailor xx
Just 2 visiting mares to foal down now - one is 334 days and the other is 333 days. The 333 day one is fully waxed up whereas the 334 one not showing anything (both TBs).
Poor you a long wait and having to watch everyone elses till then bet you cant wait!
Have one safely on the ground who is a really super big strong filly growing like a triffid.
Have one more to go who is at 340 days and like some other people's is showing no inclination to get on with it. Have the benefit of monitoring her with water hardness strips and my refractometer which is telling quite a tale, she is waiting for warmer weather!
She is a Canadian import so I cant quite see why our "cold" matters, when she was in quarantine a few winters ago it was -47 and she was living out!! Though I don't think it will be long as her IG levels are steadily climbing.
She is a daughter of Appaloosa Canadian multiple champion working cowhorse Yor High Noon in foal to American based Appaloosa reining champion MA Thunderstorm so I am quite excited and hoping everything goes well with this one too!
I'm waiting for one of my mares to foal also, the earliest she could foal (320 days) is the 31st May! Foaling kit is pretty much completed, my nerves, getting worse! My mare, seems fine, slowly starting to bag up!
One due at the beginning of July. Waiting with baited breath as our Highland mare slipped her foal a fortnight ago, with only 10 weeks to go. This foal is highly anticipated as it will be the first from our own Arab stallion, who is 13 and only started covering last year. I don't think I'll relax until foal arrives even though Mum is very experienced and will be just fine. Good luck to everyone else still waiting.

What coat patterns are they? Does that guarantee spots or could you still have a foal with none from 2 showing spots?
