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!

:o I am warming to the idea of a foal slightly... UNTIL you put the idea of a shetlnd in my head ....:eek::eek: no way to find out who dad is as old owner is dodgy and refusing any form of contact :/
 
Take up the offer of Janet Lorch's book. :D You do need to be aware of signs and signs of potential problems as well. Good luck. x
 
The pic of her ridden she def looks in foal, plus the udders :D

We had a sec A mare that we suspected was in foal, got the vet out who said don't be silly she is just fat... Rang him 3 weeks later to to tell him the "fat" was running around on 4 legs :D

Fantastic :D well i hope tomorrow we will have a clear yes or no :)
 
Oo she could have got in with a Grade A showjumper - or a top racer - or ANYTHING, but most of all I hope another coblet was involved - this is so exciting :D

Well fingers crossed and i have everything crossed :D there was only cobs at the yard she owned, and a shire :eek: but then there may have been others round the back of different breeds :rolleyes:

Stop it you, i'm actually starting to get excited :D:o
 
Ah how exciting! Got my fingers crossed for a HHO BOGOF baby foalie! :) babys going to be gorgeous if her mum is anything to go by :)
 
It meant the world to me getting Shy as a two year old, and having seen him grow up it has been amazing - but from Day One... fantastic opportunity. ;)

I think once you have the vet out and confirm it, yes you will still worry, yes you will still stress, but I think you will start to relax down a bit... I mean Mummy doesn't seem to be stressing does she? Take your cue from her x Scrub the box, bed it down, bring her in and take the rug off, perhaps if looking at feed, err towards a youngstock/M&F balancer to get what she needs into her without weight gain, or chaff and a supplement.

KEEP CALM & PLAN FOR FOALEY :D
 
I am sure the father will be a most handsome fella. I think this could be very exciting. Fingers crossed for the vets decision.

Oh i know :o Mum seems to be laughing at us :D thank you for the tips i can already tell HHO will become my bible :D When should we change feed after birth or start changing nowish ?

I think hopefully my head will screw on tomorrow and i can start thinking with some kind of brain cells :D:eek:
 
I have nothing constructive to this...what i do have to say is thus:

Eeeeeeeeeek :eek: :D :eek: :D :D :D :D :D How exciting!!!!! I can not wait to see foaly, he/she is going to be so so cute that's for sure!

Good luck with it all, I'll be keeping everything crossed for you! X

I personally would start with a supplement or a balancer now.... if at a later date mommy drops weight from lactating you can start upping the calorific content accordingly.... however, there are far more experienced people on here than me who do this sort of thing for a living... speak to vet and post in breeding... I would :D

Yes I will do hun :), may not be till 6pmish though depending on if i can get onto the internet during school after coursework:eek:
 
A mare at the stud has boobies like Tessy, and her due date is 2 half weeks away... if that helps!

I bet a cute fluffy splodgy coblet, and I'm going to put my head out and say a pretty version as opposed to a hansom one too.... just to add to the excitement!

Good luck, everything will work out fine!
 
Ooo fools motto good game ;)

I'm going... Piebald fluffy colt. Nice facial markings, to make 15hh :D

Perfect second horse for you tb :P
