I Think We're Getting Close Now

Oh yes, the baby has definitely "dropped" meaning she's getting close. Keep the camcorder batteries charged.

Haha, will do. What would you estimate roughly I should be looking at? A week? Two? A month?

I am really excited for this foal to come

It's like Christmas is coming except the wrapping paper on this present is way better!

Yes, one of those.

I don't know with horses, but with people, usually the first one drops 2-4 weeks before birth, while subsequent babies drop much closer to delivery, sometimes only hours before. My little one dropped 5 weeks before he was born, but then he had some descending troubles seeing as he was so huge.

Your foal has engaged, though, so start looking for the other "foaling is imminent" signs.
