Missy's Foalwatch Thread

The Polo Bear said:
Did u put her in foal, or before u got her? Tbh breeders who sell in foal mares, often don't really know when the mare was covered, but she defo looks imminent.

I didn't put her in foal, passport says she was seen to be covered on the date given.

I'm guessing piebald colt!
 
Still pregnant:

The more she moves the more the udder will go down, until she's about to pop, baby seems to be further back than last pics, so not long at all now! Friday is my guess. It's scary how big they can stretch to, my mare looked like a beach ball on legs in her final days before foaling!

I am betting s/he will be here by the weekend! With or without a bag!
Just seen the edit, she doesn't look too big at the front, again, taken today:

Missy has such lovely markings and such a pretty colour, would be lovely if she passes it on to the foal! However I am sure that all that matters to you at present though is the safe arrival of the foal and Missy coping!

Thank you! :biggrin3:
It's always been Rory for a colt but it was originally Dakota for a filly however someone mentioned Willow and it just clicked so it's staying :)
 
Odd behaviour today. Missy was doing a lot of pawing the ground, scratching her bum and peeing. Baby is very active today and Missy is now inside and I will be hopefully staying out with her tonight!
 
So exciting ..I can't wait !!!! :D erm make sure u have a camera handy at all times !! As we need photos ..lots of photos !!! :D
 
Most obvious sign of imminent baby is milk either as droplets or actually dripping from the teats. You can buy a predictor kit which will tell not when she will foal but when she wont if that makes sense. If she hasnt had a foal before I reckon it will be quite a bit longer yet maiden mares bag up anything up to six weeks before they foal
 
We're all awaiting the new arrival with great anticipation!!! Bet she'll be glad once she's the little one makes his/her appearance bless her - let us know how she gets on :)
