Well, I can't give you an EXACT date of when your mare is going to foal, but if you know her last breeding date, go to
www.dreamhorse.com
Then scroll downa nd look for the Foaling Calculator. Put in the last day that your mare was bred, and it will give you an early, average,a nd full term dates!
--------------------
Mares:
Honey-buckskin(in-foal to a smutty buckskin stallion)
BG-palomino/dunalino(foaled a beautiful filly)
Dibby-dun(in-foal to a palomino stallion)
Star Bucks-buttermilk buckskin(not bred, we may just use her as a riding horse)
Fillies:
Lizzy-grulla(will be used as a broodmare in the future, due to an injury as a weanling...we are unsure if she will be riding sound, although she might be, as her injury has healed so well...you can't even tell)
Sheba-black(hopefully will be shown in Halter classes starting this year)
Blue-blue roan(we aren't too sure what we are going to do with this filly yet....but she is a cutie)
Geldings:
Poco-sorrel/overo*Paint*(Awesome riding horse!)
Brandy-*FOR SALE*(Nice 2 yr old, going into training soon, price will go up, feel free to ask me about him..if you are interested)
Foals:
Tinker Bell- Red dun filly. Nice short neck, long legs, beautiful eyes..absolutely beautiful. Very people friendly.
Other 2 foals are expecting between May and June.

Mares bag up 4-6 weeks before they foal. They will get jello like around the croup/butt area.(not sure how long before, but usually not too long) They will have crystals(little white specks) on their teats. ANd that usually means its really close. and they will have wax ont he end of their teats,which is usually within 24-48 hours(I believe). Im not sure on all of the text book times, ect. I know what my mares do,a nd their routine. There is a post on here somewhere, that has all of the textbooks signs, ect. Ill see If I can find it for you.

Go to Labor Signs It is on this section of the forum (Breeding) That person has given some textbook rountines, but again, not all mares will follow that. And some mares, will not even bag up, until after they foal. (and they maynot show any signs) All depends ont he mare.
