I'm going to be selfish and ask her to wait until next Tuesday as that is MY foalie's first birthday!!! I can't believe she's so big, my mare was tiny by comparison and that was her third foal... and he was a whopper too!

oh god dont say that knowing our luck she will be having triplets :rolleyes::eek:

Blimey shes huge!! ... not long now :D

Oh i know !

My totally non horsey husband has also joined in with the Mini T watch! He sat and read the whole thing today while waiting for me to have an eye operation today. Mini T is breaking down the boundaries before HE (totally convinced Tess is cooking a colt in there!) arrives!
I think she will foal on either Thursday or Friday night now, she has really dropped but as you say, a little more bagging up to go (not that I would really have a clue, learned so much from this thread as youngest I have had us yearling). Keep up the good Work Abby, you are doing an amazing job!

I know we are all waiting for the nicer weather, but I am sure I read something a long time ago about prey animals preferring to give birth in bad weather so the scent of the bubba is not so obvious to the predator.... with that in mind Tessy is more than welcome to decamp to my back garden tonight - it's raining well here.... :D:D:D

*** I really don't think I made that up, but maybe it was just gazelles and the like :confused: ***

Any road up - judging by today's pics I hope for her sake it is soon :D

Ditto Once was lost, I'd just like to say how much I've learnt from this thread! :)

It has been so very nice to recieve so much info :)

Oh bless her, she's certainly cooking on gas there - all four rings too ! Is there much "movement" of the bump - kicking and stuff ?

She really is ! and yes there are moments where she spooks slightly because it must be doing flips in there and then a random lump will stick out her side :cool: poor mummy bear !

In France and keep checking. Come on tessy !!


Hope the wearher is treating you better than here :)

Ooh I hope she foals before tomorrow night cos I'm back at work, then go to do my girls in the morning. I'd hate to miss any news :D
I think she'll hang on til the weekend so that Abbie gets plenty of foalie time :)
Tessy is a beautiful mare, I think her baby will be a real stunner!

Wow them pictures look as if she's fit to burst! Definitely changed shape (i know nothing about foaling, except through this thread!)
I'm going to hazard a guess and say Friday night, ready for my birthday on Saturday!
Hope you and mummy bear are well x :)

She has changed shape a lot since yesterday, I dont know much but looks like it will be soon, maybe tonight or tomorrow!

Sticking with my guess of a piebald colt, more black than white.
Domino or paddington or chester would be my names.
Good luck with it all hope its a quick and safe birth with no problems.

Blimey, must be sooooooo painful having an almost full term shifting and kicking - she must want it out as much as we do, but you really cannot rush a gypsy cob ;)

Been lurking since beginning and checking everyday!!!! I reckon Sunday morning you will have a little bundle of black and white - and it's a boy!!!! More white than black I think!

And good luck by way you seem to be handling this so well considering!!!!!!

We also have a bogof on our yard the lady only found out a week ago and mare is due anyday!!!! Was bought from travellers 8 months ago!
