[VictoriaEDT]

everytime I stay late nothing happens! when I have an early night I miss bl**dy everything!

 

[Equus Leather]

It'll be just me and The Hoff then

 

[_basil_]

She is too interested in her haynet now. Was getting interesting earlier. oh well long night ahead.............

 

[wildpinksalmon]

she looks way too contented and interested in food to much at the mo so may not even be tonight!!!!!

 

[VictoriaEDT]

come on baby - fall out!!!!!

 

[VictoriaEDT]

You know there is a rain dance to make it rain.....do you think there is a foal dance to make her drop???!!!!!

If so I will get my dancing shoes out now!!!

 

[_basil_]

I would say I`d join you but I can`t dance to save me life!!!! With all that food shes putting away she`ll have to give birth to make more room!!!

 

[Chambon]

Oh god, I only popped on here for a quick browse before going to bed

It's a cremello mare so I just HAVE to stay up and watch

 

[_basil_]

And now you just have to sit up and watch like the rest of us!!!!!

Where bouts in the west country are you Chambon?

 

[Chambon]

Well, she's a cremello - she needs my support

I'm near West Wilts EC.

Thank you - what lovely words

It is hard work but very rewarding as well.... although I won't relax until all this years babies are hipefully safely here, and all the mares are safely back in foal again for 2008...well actually then I'll start worrying about next years babies!! lol

 

[MissIndependance]

Well she seems to be going through stages... she goes all agitated and stomps around looking uncomfy - gets me all excitied and then goes back to dozing or munching....hmmmm bloody mares!

 

[_basil_]

Do you sell all your babies Rollestone or do you keep any? I myself would want to keep them all!!

 

[Equus Leather]

She seems very happy and content at the moment.

Rollestone, will you be going down to give us all a wave?

 

[piaffe]

*Groans* Not again!!!!!

Im trying to do an assignment here. How inconsiderate!

(hope all goes well) I was so pleased I got to see the last one! *insert smug face here* Shame I couldnt count it as one of my "witnesses"!!! That would make for an interesting write up in my numbers book!

 

[Equus Leather]

Well, she's stopped munching..

 

[Weezy]

Well I can join in now, I havent before as i tend to jinx things - but it is looking rather good!

 

[the watcher]

She looks fit to pop..I feel like I just want to take her out for a brisk walk and a vindaloo to get it going! Don't think it can be much longer now

 

[wildpinksalmon]

so in other words you work hard and worry all year round every year lol

 

[wildpinksalmon]

now was that a look at tum or mmmm shall i have a bit more hay??

 

[Allykat]

She looks very restless now!!

 

[Weezy]

She is getting V near I think. But I always jinx it!

 

[Equus Leather]

Another poo!

Last year we sold them both...the year before we sold them all bar Inde who we are keeping as a possible stallion and Saff who nobody wants...

Poor little girl - it's the chestnut mare syndrome!! So she'll be kept and backed and sold as a 4 year old...

It's ok if I KNOW they're going to be sold like last year when they were sold within weeks of birth as I don't get attached but if I thought we were keeping one and then we changed our minds I'd find it very hard if I'd gotten attached - I'm too soft really - my other half is forever telling me I need to toughen up!

LoL sorry by the time I get down there I'll be in a big panic and wont remember to wave!! I'm the one who paces up and down pointing a camera...my other half does the usual things like helping mum with baby if neccessary!

 

[wildpinksalmon]

i was getting all excited but looks like she is sleeping now

 

[MissIndependance]

Yup gone back to sleep! Cheeky so and so - do you think she knows she has an audience and is playing to the crowd!

 

[MissIndependance]

What do you reckon... http://www.rollestone-farm.com/GALLERY2007.htm that last pic on the top row is Eclipse - who is due to foal in 2 weeks....Is there any doubt that there's a baby in there???

She is enormous!!

 

[iamlovingmyjob]

Eclipse is huge

 

[Allykat]

Good lordy...she is huge
