The Tessy bear BOGOF thread

[tessybear]

I think it is going to be a shitlandxTessy.

Oh lord, shitlands are cute as foals but then i may have to palm it off on one of its "hho aunties" ... Billie ?

well your in luck, it wont be that bad since mules cant breed but it could be a donkeyxTess

just read this whole thing! when i saw the topic i thought it was here (followed other post) but started at the begining because i didnt want to miss anything!!

im going to be rooting for a filly - coloured but with only small bits of white on body but big white blaze and four white legs no idea why but thats what i pictured when i thought about it! good luck to the whole family, dont think tessy could have eneded up with a better family! xx

Oh brilliant Rightyo added your guess to the list , thank you lovely ! x

At the moment i put her in at 6 for tea, then check again at 9ish then 11 before bed and not untill the morning. However when she gets the V shaped belly and the vulva relaxed slightly more i will be waking up throughout the night and doing hoursly checks

I did something similar with my mare. Only one night did I do hourly checks. In at 10, check at 11, 12 & 1. I meant to go back at 2 but fell asleep and got back at 3. Foal born, up and bouncing around and mare cleansed! Oops! Good luck with your baby!! Foaly pics required ASAP!!!

Looks pretty 'v' shaped to me.

Oh no doubt we will miss the birth I will upload as soon as Mini T makes an appearance

See the recent ones i posted i dont think it does, i thought perhaps the lighting in this made it look worse but her vulva is still quite small and judging by photos in the foaling books and internet needs to relax more

No I take my big scary JRT and a mini hand held torch it's only at the bottom of the garden so not to bad

Im sure Mini T tried to Karate chop its way out today, biggest kick i have seen so far even managed to spoo Tessy

You could always do the ring test to see what she's having.... hang a ring on a chain over her loins. If it swings back and forth it is a colt, if it goes round in circles, it is a filly. Did mine a few times and it always said colt... and a colt she did have.

Although my friend did this on her stallion and apparently he was due to have a filly!

Brilliant well you never know perhaps he had a sex change ?

Well this is a distaster Tessybear

I only ever dip into HHO every once in a blue moon and now I've read this thread! This means that I will have to log on everyday now because I want to see the foal

Good Luck - please tell her to get a move on

-hangs head in shame-

I will do, she seems to be clinging onto it... i don't know why, who wouldn't want a little terror running round 24/7

 

[Ravenwood]

I have absolutely no idea what "dis taster" means! I meant to type "disaster" Doh!

Back again to check the updates - hubs is getting sick of me having to update him as well

His best comment so far is to Billie's suggestion that the dad could be a shitland - he said "well she must have been lying down for that to have worked". HURRAH !! Hubs knows what a shitland is !!!

Sorry Shys...dad?

At the animal charity i used to work for i have seen a shitland gelding i must add trying to mount a 15hh cob. Well it started off well swaggered over then went for her shoulder blade and the look she gave him

No doubt it was a shitland

I've seen a 12hh pony swinging from my 16.2hh mare's quarters like a monkey.....!!!! At that moment I'm sure she was looking for a slope...!!!

well at least her was trying The shitland incident was when i was showing visitors around with children who were highly amused to see and i quote
" that horse is drying his willy on the black and white horse"

Tessy Bear, PLEASE ensure that when it all happens somebody puts up an announcement thread with all the emotes, caps, bling etc so that we don't miss anything.
All the excitement of a full pregnancy crammed into a couple of days, this foal has to be something very special! Hoping it all goes very well (and soon!)

My Bogof came early hours of the morning so I met my little chap when I had a phone call from the yard owner at about 7 am. She had managed it all by herself and the only thing I remembered to do was to look for the placenta in the hay (not the nicest job!) and check it that it was whole (?) it's a few years ago now so cannot really remember too much about it. Anyhow all was fine and from then on the fun really started!! Good luck and try not to worry too much as animals are pretty good at looking after themselves in these kind of situations!

 

[HorsesHavingFun]

In honesty I really think you should start a new thread when the foal really does come, I'll miss it otherwise!

 

[Spiritedly]

I think you should invest in marestare so we can all watch

Day 4 ....( i think ? )

Well my dream was wrong as there is defo no mini T here yet I did have my fingers crossed i would walk down and see another set of ears and eyes . Only got a few pictures so far as our neighbour talked to me and didnt think it would be normal for me to continue taking photos of my horses bits and pieces On the upside though i have had yet another offer of free summer riding A girl down the road with an ex racer has offered my free riding and schooling to build its muscle up she was desperatly looking for a sharer so works well, and then the neighbour has sid i can help with her lovely lad Scooby who she will be starting again over summer after her youngster had to be pts

Anyhow here is todays photos:
I think her belly has gone to more of a point nd V shaped since yesterday:

And her bottom which again i think next to her tail has sunk a lot :

I will take some more pictures later when i go down to groom her

 

[HorsesHavingFun]

Free summer of riding and a Mini T! Not at all jealous! I really love Tess' markings btw but I think I've said that before!

 

[tessybear]

It's worke out rather well so many lovely friends offering riding ah thank you lovely I prefer more White than black but for some people she is slightly to White
