One of our new mares - Sunshine - will be on cam this weekend. We are just getting things ready and need to get the cam hooked up - so should be done by the end of the weekend. Sunshine has started to bag up - but just a small bag. She is in the barn at night (which she hates) and out during the day. She is an experienced mare so I am expecting her to fully bag up before she foals. Last year she foaled on March 8th - and was put out with the stallion April 8th. So I estimated her due date as March 2nd - which obviously is a little early!!!!
Sunshine was bred to Little Kings Boogie Buckeroo - owned by Triple K Miniatures in North Dakota. This foal should be a very nice foal as the other foals of this breeding were. I will update when the time is getting closer. Thanks for watching.

Looks like Sunshines wants "Mom" to stay with her. She does not like to be alone. Maybe she'll have the foal soon.

Well - Sunshine's bag is a bit bigger tonight - not big enough - but maybe she is progressing. She was pasture bred to I estimated her due date as March 2nd - at the earliest - so who knows for sure. She is not really happy about being up by herself - and is quite upset when I leave her - but that only lasts a couple of minutes and then she settles down. She does look forward to her treat of pellets and oats though!!!!

Well - progression is very slow - so we just have to sit back and wait. I haven't even put the equipage on Sunshine yet as she just isn't ready yet. But I will continue to bring her in at night and take her out with her buddies during the day.
It has finally warmed up a bit here - just above freezing - but now all of the snow is melting and we have lots of mud.
Thanks for watching.

Sunshine is progressing - her bag is fuller today than it has been - still not where it needs to be but getting closer. Her baby was running a marathon today - it was fun watching Sunshines' belly!!!!

Watching her being a little restless tonight. Maybe baby is not done running "her" maraton.

Too funny Carolyn!!! Sunshine enjoyed some sunshine today (no pun intended!!!). It was warm and sunny today - but it is very muddy. She is shedding big time - and really enjoyed getting brushed tonight before she came in to the foaling pen. Her bag is a little bigger today - so we are still progressing (instead of regressing!!!) - but not ready yet.

Sunshine's bag is fuller and tighter tonight - still not where it should be. But - I put the Equipage on just to be on the safe side. She should get a large full bag and wax before she foals - so let's keep our fingers crossed that she continues progress and foals soon!!!!

Sunshine really surprised us today - I was thinking that she could foal tonight - but she pulled a fast one and foaled in the middle of the afternoon. My husband was home and I coached him through the foaling - he was so nervous - but he did great!!!! We have a tiny 16 1/2 inch bay colt - so tiny and so darn cute!!! We are absolutely thrilled with our Little King Boogie Buckeroo son !!!!!!
As far as having the foaling on video - I wish!!!!! Pretty much everybody missed the foaling - so I am positive that nobody was taping it - but maybe our next foaling will be able to be taped!!!!
Some of these mares are pretty darn tricky!!!!
