Buffy is at day 297 days today. Healthy miniature foals have been born at this gestation with no problems, so I up my observations at this point, and as of tomorrow the barn cam goes on at night and there will be hourly observations throughout the night for the upcoming month. Buffy has foaled previous foals from day 316-331, so I'm not on full alert. Her udder has stopped producing the opapue runny liquid from her previous pregnancy and begun the clear, thin slightly sticky liquid that is the very beginnings of the milk she will be making at foaling time. Exciting times are a foot!! Stay tuned for Buffy updates as she goes through changes in prep for the big day.
Nelly is looking more and more pregnant now, she is at day 150. I have been told by her previous owners that her weight will start to fall as she approaches 240 days gestation, so I am on constant alert about her body state. So far, she is gaining weight and showing no loss at all. I'll be watching her.
I have not felt any kicking in Ladybug yet, she should be at day 175 today and she has always had palpable foal kicks by day 185, so that excitement should be in our near future too.
Great fun for these winter days when spring seems oh so far away.
Happy foaling
