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

I'm on my mums netbook now so carrying it around with me :)

Ahh okay I was just wondering as she must have had it on for 24 hours now, it doesn't seem to be bothering her though.
 
Lucky for Len he won't be having any foals soon either :D

Molly and Tink on the other hand... :D

Not sure they'd forgive me, both being ex-broodies I reckon they've had their time

My estimate is before 10pm our time..
Poor mare is looking quite agitated now. Is it normal for them to keep like kicking like she is and not standing still for long and pawing the ground? Sorry for the stupid questions haha, apart from Fanali i've never seen a mare foal before.

As she is an arab she will naturally carry her tail very high but she really does seem a bit distressed - well she did look pretty distressed earlier kicking her belly and pacing but is now happily munching on her bed...
 
LOL at you lot, you should come over to mine and watch my cameras - maybe not though as you'd be call the boss out on false alarms all the time! I have to say I don't agree with that mare having had a bandage on for so long, we only put the bandage on when the mare starts to foal. She doesn't look in discomfort really, and is resting her leg a lot and eating so while she may foal later tonight she doesn't look too far along just yet.
 
Totally off topic but BH, the horse in your Sig is stunning! Is it one of yours?

Laafet, omg! Hope she foals soon! My post was tongue in cheek :D hope you didn't take it the wrong way :)

Sorry if this has been posted before and is a bit OT, but I've been looking at a couple of the vids of the births and WHY do they interfere and pull out every single foal?? The feet pop out and they're dashing over to yank the poor thing out. And I mean every single video I've watched they've done the same thing? :confused: :rolleyes: :eek: :( :mad:
 
I think the mucker outer is a bit sloppy - that last poo was there for at least five seconds...
what is this world coming to! the poor mare is probably traumatised as she had to look at the poo for sooo long pmsl. i wish she would hurry up i am getting tired and still gotta go check my lad, don't want to leave just in case i have never seen a live birth!
