Liberty farm mare about to foal!

Is it me, the camera angle, the lighting or are those boxes really small?

They look pretty small to me too. I'm not keen on the bedding either.
When I worked at a stud we used to watch the mares on CCTV at night and the camera didn't quite get one end of the massive foaling box and I used to have a minor panic if they went up that end for any length of time!
In my experience, nothing much tends to happen until after midnight (their time not ours) so I'm off to bed. I'll probably log on in the morning and find that they all foaled ten minutes after I went. My money's on fattie first! Perhaps 939's box walking cos she can't find her pet rat!
 
Poor thing...all us watching and she gets a finger stuck up her :p

Hope the woman remembers to wash her hands, I don't think she had gloves on

Have you ever had a baby? ;) I'll forgive you if you are a bloke!
If you had you wouldn't have to ask because a midwife would have done the same to you ;)

That goat looks as if she quite likes having people with her, even if they have been taking liberties with her rear end.

939 definitely looks imminent! The suspense is killing me.... Can't tear my eyes away from them!

Ooh I didn't mean that she was imminent, just that she looks like she's progressed a little from earlier :o I think 335 going to be the one who foals tonight, she's got that quietness about her that they often have and if you watch carefully you'll see lots of subtle signs. 939 is a nutbar :D She could have us all hanging around for days :rolleyes:
 
Don't they need to give that goat a bit more room?! Reckon one of those people in there is either dead or fast asleep already!
 
I really dont understand why they don't just leave the poor thing alone to give birth and step in if needed. Also at Liberty farm there is another mare there weaving like mad aswell as the box walker.
