Looks like no babies yet. Daisy is digging around behind that tub, she isn't hiding anything is she.
LOL guess not and Rosie has her magnets on holding her butt to that wall. You may get busy all at once.

Well...sorry to keep you all waiting!!! This morning all three mares have been acting really nervous and uncomfortable. I have a bad feeling they all will foal close to the same time. We have a low pressure storm front moving in tonight or early morning...so im thinking it might help speed things along..but who knows!!! All we can wish for is healthy babies!! Thanks for watching for us.... Doug & Jenny

Hey Doug!!! Thanks for updating us here!!! (See Heather, it's working!! ;D ) Still watching your stubborn mares, and I think you might be right!! You might have an onslaught of foals on your hands all at once, once they get their heads together and decide to give them up!! I hope it's soon! I know how anxious your daughter is! Happy Foaling!

I've heard that it's not uncommon for a mare to foal, and then others that are in the same vicinity start foaling too from the smell and the "atmosphere". Could be interesting, but we'll be watching and cheering you on!!! ;D

Hi everyone! Updates from this morning! Daisy still has flakes of wax and gave me a sample of light yellow milk this morning... Fancy is so uncomfortable this morning and throughout last night..Her labias are very relaxed today and her milk is getting whiter and stickier. Rosie's labia's are relaxed as well and her milk is slightly yellow still, but is very sticky. Thank you all for watching and have a great day!!! Oh yeah I almost forgot.....We didn't ultrasound Fancy after she was bred, and we have a feeling it might be twins....So I'm hoping another mare goes first so I can collect some colustrum from her just in case. Happy watching and have a great day!! Doug & Jenny

awe...no apology needed, just too curious!! Skipper W happens to be one of my favorites,,,probably just because that is the way my mare is bred funny how that goes. We have a grandson of Two Eyed Jack too (his momma is a daughter of Two Eyed Jack). Don't blame your wife on the pics.. muddy messy time of year,, and our horses are in their winter woolies. thanks for the info...

update for tonight....Rosie is very relaxed in the labia's and has really sticky white milk. She isn't eating that good today as well. Daisy's is real darn close too....but her milk is yellow still. Fancy is just plain miserable and is as relaxed in her labias as well.....but milk is starting to change to a more dominate white now....Don't hold your breathe evryone....I have had all these mares under 24 hour lights for 2 months now and sometimes that can affect they're milk secretions. But it's a great sign that they're labia's are relaxing more. Thanxs to all of you for watching and have a great night. Your friends! Doug & Jenny

Hi everyone! As you know...no babies yet!!! This morning all the mares are about the same as the last update with the exception of Rosie. Rosie's bag is very warm now and her milk is white. The low front is coming in this morning and sometimes that helps get the mares started but who knows!!!!!! The Lord has a mysterious way of letting the mares know its ok to have they're babies.. Take care and thanks for watchin! Doug & Jenny
