Hi, I hope you are ok after a bad day.
Ive dug some pics out for you of my mare just before she foaled incase they might help you. Almost 3yrs ago i was waiting for my mare to foal and although I knew when she was covered she foaled 2wks early. The afternoon of the night she foaled her behaviour changed, she was stressing in the field, fence walking more than usual, snapping at her companion but then stressing if he ran away from her, she didnt settle inside either, box walking more than usual and sitting with her backside against the wall. I was lucky in that I could watch her on cctv from the house all evening and when I checked her at 9.30pm she had wax on one teat, at 10.30pm she had wax on both teats and she foaled at 11.40pm.

This photo was 2 days before she foaled.

Her teats are not 'right' however I don't know if I'd base too much on that right now as they can fill up very quickly. From the video it looks like her belly is very pointy today. Depending on what her vulva is doing, I would be having her tail plaited and be watching constantly. I also would have had her shoes pulled tbph but I note you aren't planning on doing that so I'd suggest she has her feet padded now.

Aaargh, I've just given in and checked this post, read all 1162 posts and no foal waiting at the end of it!

I'll be joining everyone else in checking back all the time to see if it's happened yet.

Sounds like you had a rough evening, hope you're ok :) x

It is 2am and I have just read the whole thread. I am busting for a wee and thought to myself "I'll just click on that BOGOF thread mentioned elsewhere before I go to the loo/bed". AAAgh! I am now hooked...

I hardly ever post, but felt moved to say good luck with the foal and your scholarly endeavours; you are obviously quite an exceptional young lady - and I hope that whatever has upset you of recent will be put behind you very quickly by the arrival of a bay/skewbald colt foal with very little white - a bit finer than his mum :) That's my guess anyway - and I reckon tomorrow, Tessy looks like she appreciates the finer things in life so I am thinking a racy type of suitor, rather than a cob ;)

Jools :)

I also read it through, resisting the urge to go to the last page....to find no foal at the end.:(

I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end.

Come on Tessy!
