Marestare - Mare looks like she is in labour (?)

Think I will be spending Saturday night in front of the laptop!:D:D

I have missed 4 births at Mulligans Farm on marestare so I am determined to see this one through!
 
Been watching this mare for days, I saw Fanali from Elements foal the other week on marestare and my sister saw KZ from there foaling, so will be watching this one closely tonight :) Hopefully she has a less traumatic time than Fanali :)
 
i have been watching her since last friday - never seen a foal born and determined not to miss her now - warned OH i will sit up all night if i have too!!
 
i watched one foal the other but looking at the local time underneath they all foal at odd times of the day. usually its middle of the night, but all are different u guess.
 
Gah! Another pooh. As a foaling virgin (pardon the pun) how long is an average labour time for a horse? I have wine, a hot water bottle and my toast just pinged so am in for the long haul.
 
Haha koko, I forgot you could do that, now have it on multiscreen thingy too haha. Saves switching windows, thanks :) I hope i dont miss her foaling, the computer will be on all night with barn alarm methinks :P
 
Oh I wish I hadn't seen this post, I watched Fanali give birth and that had me spellbound and anxious all the way through it! It should have an addiction warning on the website :rolleyes:

I think April still has some hours to go, best get the wine on the go ;)

Well enjoy your vino :) as she most likely will not foal with all that commotion going on around her. The stages of labour vary depending on the mare and the environment she is in. My mares are normally pretty speedy once they start stage 1. We always keep well away from them when they are in this stage and it seems to work as they don't hang on for too long.
