Yup, that's the one that got me thinking :) If anyone asked me if I thought she was in foal, from that pic, I would say yes.

A couple of weekends back she had an odd lump sticking out her belly, put it down to the way she was stood :o:( now thinking... maybe mini T popping out :rolleyes:
 
I didn't want to be the meany when I thought it before. Thought I would get accused of calling her fat, I wondered if she had just had foals before maybe...
 
Sorry sweet but if she's not in foal i'll eat my hat! and yes of course to your PM. Where abouts in the country are you? If near me I'd be happy to lend a hand when the time comes.

Oh no don't get me wrong she could do with loosing some weight anyway but the belly is a different type of sag rather than fat :confused::D, she has according to previous owner :(

Good lord, that could have been a little hoof! :p I am secretly jealous, we do have a stallion on the yard that I sometimes wish would get to Olive, I would never choose to breed as I wouldn't want to risk her but if it happened by accident.... Ho hum... :p

:eek: you can take it :D oh im cruel :o
 
Ahh she's beautiful, dibs on foaly :p! Already told my mum we're taking a trip to Lincolnshire in a few months time ;)
So excited for you op. Make the most of it :). Do you know who stallion may be?
 
This is exactly what happened to me twelve years ago!! Like you had zilch experience and this was my first horse!! We got through it with lots of help from experienced friends so don't panic . It was a serious learning curve but we learnt a hell of a lot and was great fun once we got used to the idea!

heehee :D thank you she is such a sweet girly :)
No clue sadly :( which limits our knowledge on how heigh foal would grow to be :mad:
 
OOOOOOOOOOO how exciting !!!! I saw that photo too and did wonder - well spotted Billie !

The bottom line is that these cobs drop foals all the time without any help, and in the most awful fields and stuff. Tessy I am absolutely sure, will be a FAB mum, and will teach you a lot. I am sure much of it is common sense, advice from the vet, getting hold of books, and don't forget the best resource EVER - on here !!

So looking forward to having a HHO tess baby - stay calm, and let's see what the vet says in the morning ;)
 
Theres nothing like wandering down the field and seeing the sight of tiny hooves and legs making an appearance to give that OMG moment :eek: when my friends mare was in foal i was there and when the foal made an appearance and needed a wee bit of help to get the foal home, the mare took off like a shot to the other side of the field the second baby was born and turned and stared, before coming back to see her baby lol
 
When I was about 13 I had my pony at a stables and a friend had hers there too. Her parents had bought hers from a dealer a few months before. One day I was riding with her and she was complaining her pony was being a bit slow and when we went to a field where there were some jumps she wasn't jumping as well as normal.
The next morning I went down and a little kid ran up to me shouting 'Sally's foaled' I said 'where's she fallen?' The kid said 'in her stable come and see!'
I went to see and she'd had a bay colt that nobody had realised she was having. In fact she'd been on a diet because she was getting fat!
When my friend arrive she was absolutely amazed. They kept the foal and it made a really nice horse in the end.
 
Foals = the perfect timewasters :D You spend HOURS just watching them!

If she has had foals before then she will probably foal easy enough herself. Is there anyway you can put a webcam in her box so you can watch her remotely rather getting freezing cold and disturbing her all night every night until she pops?

Mares normally wax up a day or two before foaling although not all wax at all. I have a mare who, ever time she has a foal, leaves bagging up later and later and she didn't wax up for the last 2 so it's not always textbook.

Good luck with the vet tomorrow! Hopefuly they will be able to give you a timescale!
 
Not near me, but shout when u need me! I was in your situation this time last year and had a sharp learning curve. Its great though and a real chance of a lifetime. My mum was very dubious when we found out but fell in love with foalie as soon as she saw him!

Oh that's fantastic to hear will be nice to talk to someone who has been through the same thing, im sure she will come round just panicking i think :D
 
The two pictures and the teats I am no animal expert but that looks pretty suspect to being pregnant!!??!! Well I hope thats what it is as I am too now an auntie in waiting in the queue and yes a BOGOF will be wonderful. I am excited for you all and I dont even know you.

Am sure you will get some great help and keep fingers crossed for your vets diagnosis tomorrow. Just in time for Easter weekend.Good luck hope its good news. What a lovely horse she is and it would be good if you could find out who the dad is!! Could be a shetland? Theres a thought!
