Well our mare has been bagged up now for a couple of weeks - wax and looking like leaking pre foaling milk - with signs of dried milk or sticky hair on her lower hind legs?? Keep reading all the breeding chit chat and getting myself far too excited - although after my daughters 21st party last night feeling a bit delicate and tired for a 24 hour foal watch lol x excited.com - is the hour upon us???

If your mare has lost a lot of colostrum it might be worth asking your vet if the immune status of the foal should be checked just in case.

ummm my daughter Jade has been up all night - well she eventually got to sleep about 5ish this morning and nothing else has happened!!! Am at work and not heard anything else lol x really thought she would go last night. Will just need to check that she has not run a lot of milk - hopefully all ok with her x like you have said in previous posts - shes carried all this time - it will be delivered in her own time! She was text book really last year so hoping and praying same this year.
