Possible oops baby - pics requested!

A friend's horse is possibly expecting. I'm not going to go into details, because not my horse, but she's lactating and has had an unsupervised, accidental encounter with a stallion in the right timescale.

Vet has been consulted but no definite answer.

Does anyone have photos of their mares when delivery was imminent? Going off what I remember of people's posts, this mare doesn't look likely to drop any time soon - not particularly loose around the tail, etc - but I would like something to refresh my memory.

Foal born sometime that night

She's definitely a long way off that, which is a relief!

If you can get a drop of milk out of the udder then pH testing will save you an awful lot of time and waiting!

Yes, I've mentioned that to the owner, and she's looking for pH strips.

Pool testing strips are ideal- easy to find in many shops/ online

A quick update: after further exams and counting from when the babydaddy broke into her field, the vet decided it was okay to move the mum-to-be a short distance, so she's now safely ensconced at a nearby stud farm, with experts on hand. It's a huge relief to everybody.
