Quick Tess check, last thing before bed, first thing in the morning and then many times in the middle!
I don't think it will be on for tonight, she looks more 'pointy' again today but hasn't bagged up further to may very untrained half blind eyes!
Whole family are hooked, first thing children asked on pick up from school, first thing husband asks arriving home from work, 'foal?' Lol
This a.m dropped kids at scho then over to the yard to tell my boy all a out Tess this morning while giving him a pamper before shoving him back in the field unridden so I could dash home to see if Tess had dropped. Working at a yard further from home tomorrow and Wednesday, won't be able to check, going to end up in withdrawal lol! I think a support group for after Tess finally delivers Mini T is going to be needed, what on earth is going to get us all up in the mornings?

I aim to please...! :D it the only time I have (and suspect strongly that I will!) ever breed... I'm firmly with TB on her anti-indiscriminate breeding views, but I bred him to replace his mum- if he's half the horse she was we'll be fine... But the catalogue of errors started when we scanned her (2days late- 28 days) and found two foals, one at 26 days and Gunner at 28 days, we aborted the second one, just- then after his little expedition at two hours old he had a couple of scrapes so vet checked him over/injected him- At which point he was so shocked that he fell bum first into a tubtrug of water. All four legs stuck up in the air, and just sat there like se form of demented gnome. Vet advised in all seriousness that he felt that we may have aborted the wrong foal! :D

Oh- TB, do you have a bottle in your foaling kit just in case? I needed one- and not just for copious amounts of alcohol ;)

Morning all i am sure most of you know alot about horses pregnancy but im learning and a lot from this post actually so i found this maybe you might find it intresting too
The average is from 340 to 342 days (which is equivalent to around 11 months long), but there can be a month or more in variation. The mare actually has the ability of postponing the birth if she is not comfortable with her surroundings., and this can be as long as 12 months sometimes. Occaisonally a mare will give birth at a shorter period than 11 months long, which can be at 10.5 months.

so i am thinking mood lighting maybe a nice meal a relaxing bath :D:D

TB - Pull up a chair as you and me need a chat !

2.30am I woke up and wondered.
4.14am as above
5.30am as above whilst listening to horrendous wind (not OH for a change but outside) and thinking I hope she's not had it in this weather.

Now, be a good girl and for everyone's sake - PUSH !!!!!


Morning fellow foal watchers :)

BBC - take note ! Instead of Spring watch you need to commission Tessy watch :)

Good morning all. Check in time for me too, the first of many during the day. Come on Tessy, you have us all hooked now. We're not going to abandon you when mini T arrives. Your fame is secure! Love the idea of foal watch.

Right, I can lurk no more.........its driving me crazy!!

Its making me nervous as my little lady is due in a month!! For comparison her belly is a very similar shape & size to your last pic but she has only just started to bag up so surely Tess has got to blow soon!!!!!!!!

Good luck :)
