Someone w/rubber gloves gave her a quick check-over around 9am cam time, then took her out of her stall. She's about 8 days late (so I heard via chat). Keeping an eye on the activity and will post if something comes up -- or out. Tee hee.

I had one go a month over once. The USTA wouldn't register the colt until I submitted an affadavit from the breeding farm and the vet who did the insemination... complete with breeding date(s). Colt was completely normal. (probably wasn't afraid of the dark either)

What in tarnation was the affidavit for? To ensure there wasn't foal swapping?

They just said they didn't think a mare could preggars that long. With DNA testing now, I doubt you could ever get one by them. I bought a yearling from a big farm that was accidently cross-bred when someone grabbed the wrong syringe of semen for an insemenation. The DNA test caught it right away. He turned out to race well on the trot & pace.
-
HEY! I just got back on......where did she go?!
-

LOL -- she ran to the store, she'll be right back.

I'm messing with ya -- she's been out of her stall since 9am cam time.
Someone said she'd be back around 2pm cam time.
-
LOL -- she ran to the store, she'll be right back.
For liquor? 8)
I know I did while in labor
-
You got me hooked on watching her.
I saw her lay down for a few seconds.
Good Luck
-
Thats the first thing I do every morning to check if the baby has arrived. Its been like that for a few days now. Still no show. idunno
-
3:36 AM- looks the same as when I last checked after the Hawks game.
-
There are a couple birds in her stall..........I don't think she birthed 'em.
-
idunno
-
Just got a good camera angle on her and I say it's got to be today sometime.
Maybe within the next 4-6 hours. If not, i'll give a free horoscope reading to whomever wants one. 8) 8) 8)
-
5 birds now. hope CH is right. i can't stay awake many more nights :D
-
either the birds are pissing her off or she is really uncomfortable.
-
She is way uncomfortable tonight.........I'm even bearing down for her.
-

I've noticed that their backbone will get really pronounced before they foal.(looks kinda like one that's been starved) She's showing that, and very fidgety. That foal is already laps inside there. Doesn't look like it will be much longer. Good luck, Mama... hope she shows us a future world champion.
-
I thought I was seeing the same thing JS they really sink in at the top of their tail when they are ready to foal. Come on girl. I gotta go to bed. LOL
-
She is pinning her ears and biting at her belly........I'm so freaking tired. :(

Just Saying -- ya better sleep in 'cuz there is no baby yet!! 5:30 am cam time and same situation.
She better not have the baby outside today or this cyber-aunt will be pissed. I've logged too many watch hours to miss the "action". Come on mama, show us the baby.

Thanks so much for more background -- just watched it. Thanks too for the help you, O&S and the Ill Harness folks give. What a super cool school; I wish I could have gone somewhere like that!

Tell me about it , they didn't have the technology & innovation back then.
I wish I could have done a lot of things different in my life shootme
BTW , she is still in her stall looking uncomfortable.................sheesh!!
-
Just watched her walk outside - almost looked like she wanted to stay inside like she knew something was about to happen.
I've passed this school numerous times on the way to a friend's house. I had no idea it was so hands-on for the students. Good stuff. thumbsup
-
I'm glad I am not the only one hooked on watching -- got up thru the night to check occasionally too.
Is it raining like the dickens there, at the school?
-
I'm not hooked but I admit I check every once in while. 4pezz2
No rain in the area now. Rained overnight though.
-
Ok.........can someone get these kids a pitchfork? There is a lot of good straw going to waste.
-
Alright it's 7:55 and she is scratching her knee with her head and has her butt against the wall , O&S said something about this happening befroe she drops ;)
-
8:54 on camera time...no foal. I think she just has gas. rflmao1
-
It's 1:25 pm in Ohio and a low pressure systym is blowing thru. I predict before midnight she will foal. of course not betting any money on it. rflmao1
-
What is the dates she was bred on anyway?

Everytime my Bride has clicked on it the same screen comes up. I think she thinks I'm watching porn late at night. She'll really get suspicious if it goes for another year.shhh
... I'll tell her they bred her right back, and I'm awaiting the next one. rflmao1

Looks like it is going down now. But, They have taken her out of the stall. 4pezz2 4pezz2 4pezz2 Just from the chat I've deduced that. They mentioned a leg poping out.

There did appear to be a weird leg-like bulge near her left hind quarters this morning -- not popping out, popping out (if ya know what I mean). That chat blows -- 100 people a day ask how old she is, what is her name, is there wax pluggies yet and when will labor will be induced. It is a trip ... the mare has got a brood broad audience. ;D
-
I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies but ....
Isn't it unnatural to expect a veteran broodmare to foal in a stall with just one or two walled sides in an open-type setting that is lit with fluorescent lights 24 x 7 ??
Don't get me wrong -- all for the school and what they're doing but is this "normal" or "okay" for the mare?
I'm confused.

-
i've been off the breeding farm for a few years but the older mares always had their foals when you went to the house for a cup of coffee and returned 15 mins later and whaaalaaaaa there was a baby in the stall. LOL she has to be really pissed with the damn lite on now forever>>>>>>>>>>>> 4pezz2
-

-
Vga's just eating away like we have nothing better to do ................get that colt out already
-
6:20 and all is well ~ no change
-
got home at 2;30 am from Hoosier. turned this on of course. couldn't find it at 1st, thought she had foal and was turned off. then found the link again and proceded to sit here and watch til 4:30 am!!!!!!!!! she was so bitchy i thought sure she was going getter done........butttttt ............nnnnnooooooooooooo. 4pezz2 by the way. what is the shadow at the top of the feed that keeps moving back and forth along the top of the page. it seems to annoy the hell out of her too. idunno
-
I thought it was a person walking up to the stall. idunno
Too bad they can't lower the lights at night and use a low-light camera.
-
From the news clips and video about the High School, they show the whole barn area and there is/was another horse right next to her buy the feed tubs. That horse seems to watch her a lot and at times you can see its ears in the shadows. The whole set-up seems great for the students and learning but for birthin' idunno
-
I remember that now. It showed when they were interviewing Mr P, the mare's owner. Vega would pin her ears when approached. Thanks for the reminder S_M.
-
Lots of butt rubbing on the wall this morning. idunno

She still has passed the after birth..........I thought it was immediate.

Not always. A vet gave me some good advice about that. Tie the placenta that's hanging out into a knot so the mare can't step on it. Then the weight of the knotted placenta keeps a steady gentle pull on it until it lets go. Pulling on it can cause internal damage to the mare. You can also give the mare a shot that causes contractions to expel it, but the "knot trick" really works better.

Oxytocin is the shot we sometimes give, if the tying doesn't work. Then when the mare expels it, we make sure the whole placenta is there, with nothing left in the mare. Spread it out. We had a mare once who had piece stuck inside and we had to take to the equine hospital. Flushed her and lots of infection in just a day. Antibiotics and continued flushing did the trick.

I couldn't remember if it was Oxytocin or Prostaglandin, so I just shut up. (that doesn't happen very often)

Oxytocin is the hormone of love........... redrose

I so totally missed it 4pezz2 4pezz2. Cannot believe it.
