The Tessy bear BOGOF thread

[FlaxenPony05]

She looks ready to burst! Was there any wax on her teats today?

 

[tessybear]

Yay an update!

It's been 7 days already?!

I need a new word other than massive now ... she HAS to pop soon!

it has ! gone so bloody quick I know that foal has been doing back flips in there i think

Dont know much aout foaling, but seem to remember that the muscles each side of tail relax? tessy looks as though thats happened? might not be long now!

Yes they do and she has you are right so soon hopefully

 

[Cheiro1]

The excitement is getting too much for me, so goodness knows what state you're in!

Oh... now, a friend of mine who has 'given up' horses (stoopid girl!) gave me some bits and pieces to use or pass on to friends as I saw fit.. and amongst them is a lovely little tiny pony size leather headcolllar... it would be an absolute pleasure to send it to you for Mini T (who, as I said before I think will be a grey or cremello colt!) if you want it?! PM me your address if you do and I'll stick it in the post ASAP

Quoting this just incase you missed it Tessybear

Tessy looks properly ready to pop, her bum has completely loosened off now by the looks of it!

Do you think it will be tonight?

 

[tessybear]

Can I change my mind again?? I no longer say she'll foal tomorrow morning, I think it will be Saturday morning now If she hasn't progressed enough tomorrow, can I change my mind again to Sunday morning??

And *this* is the reason I milk test lol!

I like your style

She looks ready to burst! Was there any wax on her teats today?

She does and no i couldn't see ny really she did have a white small blob inside the white boob but it looked slightly dry so im not sure ... but she has scratched them on one side so i think she has been routing about in the hedges in the neighbours padock which she is in

Oh yikes thank you i will mail OP now how kind

I think it might be well i guessed tonight and mum thinks end of weekend

 

[nostromo70]

I predict it will be tonight. I don't know why, just got a feeling.
A little black and white, hairy, cob colt, will be standing waiting for you in the morning.

 

[PolarSkye]

Oh wow . . . pointy belly, slackened muscles at tail head, elongated vulva . . . I think she's READY!

My prediction is a hairy black and white filly with more black than white, black head with one white ear and three white socks (specific enough for you?).

P

 

[Gloi]

I think her udder will fill up a lot more before she foals. Where there is an indentation between the two halves will be flat and the teats pointing outwards.

 

[weesophz]

OH MY GOD she is massive!! cant be long now

Omg she's HUMONGOUS!!!! Bet she can't wait to get the little one out

She is ! ah she does look rather fed up at the moment lots of huffing and puffing especially when the wind blew her food bowl over and her dinner went in the grass she looked like she was ready to ring RSPCA

I can only compare with my mare, but that vulva is slacker than a soho whore! No sleep for you tonight, whether or not foalie arrives!

Oh i know i was doing 2 hourly checks may have to up it to 1 hourly

(coke a cola) don't worry guys i have not become a druggy

 

[Patterdale]

I'm saying Saturday night! How exciting for you!

 

[tessybear]

I'm saying Saturday night! How exciting for you!

I have asked if she has cleared her diary for Friday so we get all weekend

 

[TandD]

i was thinking tonite.....but she hasnt changed that much since yesterday
so may be friday into saturday???? possibly :/

you may already know this? and more experieced breeders may say it is fine - but if putting halter/headcollar/foal slip on mini T i wouldnt use a leadrope attached!
either plait up some baler twine to create a rope, or use some thickish sailing rope. it can then just be threaded through what ever the foal is wearing and one end can be released at an moment if foal drastically pulls away/bounces around so you cant hold it! that way you wont end up with a damaged/broken neck! just a loose foal

 

[Shysmum]

Oh Lordy, is someone primed with a video camera ?? Wouldn't it be great if H and h sent a reporter down to do a story

 

[PingPongPony]

She's gonna make a lovely mum i'm sure! I'm doing my A levels too atm, AS to be exact so I know it will be hard for you to keep up with those while being so excited and i'm currently doing lambing at a farm with about 60 pregnant sheep who can all sympathise with your girl, they all send their best to her Tbh I feel so sorry for all these pregnant sheep, most of them look like they have their own extension either side of them and they can barely move so they all know what tessy feels like I'm gonna make a guess too and say that it will be a lemon and white colt

I know her uddery bits need to catch up Oh no i didn't know that thank you for the advice we have to much bailing twine so should be easy to do

Oh Lordy, is someone primed with a video camera ?? Wouldn't it be great if H and h sent a reporter down to do a story

If i go down and she is in labour i will bring my i-pod and film the gruesome thing for you Hopefully then old owner will see it

I think H&H should do this and foalie and mumma can have a pic in the magazine, that would be fantastic.

Right a hushed whisper into Tessy Bear's furry ears I am off very early tomorrow morning on holiday so please do your best for tonight otherwise I am going to have to do very expensive internet usage whilst away Good luck Abby !

 

[Fools Motto]

I think we can safely say hours now, instead of days!!

(Let me remind you, mares KNOW ''THAT'' book of 'A-Z mares foaling, surprise the human' ... so don't believe a word we say about her being 'ready'!!)

[Valadictory]

I sort of want to know HOW you know that.....


TB - I reckon thats a pretty big change from the last lot of photos - her muscles on her hindquarters have really dropped now (or that photo was a better angle and Im talking rubbish!) it will be soon IMO
