Apr mares on cam

[mistymoon]

Today we decided to bring up Dakota Frost and Starbrite. They both have small bags - so won't foal anytime really soon - but thought we should start bringing them up - just in case.
Dakota Frost is the small grey mare - she is a maiden mare sired by Thunders True Copy. She is bred to Triple Ks Double Your Destiny (A Double Destiny son) - so we are anxious for this foal. Now - with that said - she has been extremely fat since last fall and I am not 100% convinced that she is pregnant - although she has started a bag. I haven't seen her foal move - but I will keep watching!!!!
Starbrite is a mare that we bought last year - she is an older girl and just so sweet. She loves attention and I am hoping that she foals easily and is a good mom. I don't know anything about her past foaling experiences - so not sure what to expect. She is as big as a house - we joke about her saying "wide load coming through" - poor girl!!! She was bred to Thunders True Copy - so the foal should be nice.
I don't have the beepers on these girls yet - but if you see anything strange - or the cams go down in the middle of the night - please call us.
Thanks for watching - we sure appreciate all of you!!!

April 15th - Song and Dakota Frost are on cam tonight - both have very small bags - no progression today - but they aren't due for a while anyway. It was cool out today and since they have head, necks and bellies clipped - I thought they should come in for the night. Starbrite is in a stall in the barn - just not on cam.

April 16th - update - no mares on cam tonight. We are finally having a nice evening - and it is not supposed to freeze tonight - so the girls are staying out since nobody is progessing with bags - and nobody is really due for a while. So the lights in the penthouse are off for the night. We'll see what transpires tomorrow.

April 18th - the past couple of nights we have left the mares out - nobody is progressing with bags and so they are still quite a ways off from foaling. Once someone starts bagging more we will bring them in at night. I actually powered off the computer that the cam is connected to - as there is no need to have everything running if no horses are in the foaling penthouse!!!! I will keep everyone updated when there is actually some progress!!!

April 19th - Starbrite is in tonight - her bag is changing - but very slowly - so I am not expecting her to foal anytime soon. But I thought I should bring her up anyway. Dakota Frost and Song are at a stand still - and for those of you that remember Ladybug from last year - she is just at the very beginning stages of bagging - so a few weeks away from foaling. I will update on everybody tomorrow.
