What obvious signs does she have? The milk bags can't see too dark. Any waxing or milk dripping yet?

HunterQueen69 · 05-05-2008, 04:32 PM

Poor girl looks likes she gonna explode!!! Check to see if shes waxing, if shes one of those mares who doesnt wax, check to see if her vulva is swollen, and if so, shes very close! Our mare had a foal this past sat. and she swelled just the day before. Check her hind quarters too, if its really loose/squishy on her butt near the sides of her tail, that also can mean shell foal soon. Good luck!!

a nice side shot would help also-can you get some more light 'udder' there? lol? that would help as well!

Horsefeathers3 · 05-05-2008, 04:57 PM

I agree, a side shot would help. It doesn't look like she's dropped yet, so she still has a ways to go. Is her tailhead getting softer or any signs of waxing? She is a very wide girl, whenever she foals I'm sure she'll be glad to have that baby out of her!

She looks like she's sinkin in the back along flanks. But agree need more pics. But does sound like baby is trying to turn around in there so you have some time. Nothing else will happen until baby gets into position.

What was her breeding date? Is she maiden?

Bonny · 05-06-2008, 01:28 PM

Looks like she has a ways to go yet. If your able to check, some mares arent real touchy and some are, you can look at the color at the inside of her vulva. Its normally pink when it goes crimson she will foal real soon.
