Tested a normal 4 and slow 4.5 tonight. That, inconjunction with her other signs and lack thereof, I'm not sure why she tested a fast 5 last night.
She's definitely irritated tonight pounding on the pipe panels with her front hoof again. Didn't want scratching of any kind anywhere. Milk is white tonight and a little thicker than yesterday. Both teats are full and both have wax. Although I only milked from one teat. both were dripping a bit afterward. Hasn't made any more progress in muscle relaxation in the hind quarter nor is tail head prominent.
She ate her supplement and is still pcking at her hay. Temp 99.9.
Won't be able to stay up tonight 'til 2:00am again. Boy, that was tough. As always, extra eyes are appreciated and a false alarm phone call is better than a missed foaling!

I sure hope she shows that foal soon. I know you need your rest.

Thanks Melanie. I was just down there a bit ago and she's still pretty peevey and restless. Had a loose manure pile but not a cow patty. Did some pawing in the dirt and stretching, kind of like when a TWH? parks out. Anyway, she's got some signs and not others. The milk test kind of threw me. Just don't know quite what to make of her Like I said, I won't be able to hang in for an all nighter. If you nightowls even think she's acting close, don't hesitate to call me 619.468.6806. Thanks so much.........

I'm still watching out for her from UK, when I can. As I type this she is standing still, resting. I am out in this morning for a few hours, but will check back at 1pm my time, 5am your time. Bye for now, Tania.

OMG i phoned a few minutes ago from UK when I saw your mare go down, phoned to tell you, then a few minutes later she got up, next thing I saw a foal. Your husband said he knew she had a foal, so not sure if I saw the birth. What time did she foal? CONGRATULATIONS, LOOKS VERY COLOURFUL
