Hello Bleary-Eyed WebCam Watchers! Thank you for your company once again! Frosty is such a tease...NOW I remember this from Diva's birth two years ago! I do believe she was the only mare we have had to unwrap and re-wrap before foaling due to mixed signals. Frosty seems uncomfortable, but not "in labor" uncomfortable. Her udder is full, but not her teats. She has been up and down quite a bit last night and today so the fair amount of wax has been knocked off regularly. We keep checking her back legs (for signs of dripping milk, or crustiness, indicating past dripping milk) and there has been none. That's good, we don't want her losing any colostrum long before foaling. We will continue to check her at 30 minute intervals tonight, but it's anyone's guess if she will speed up her pace and even things out. Again, she is pace-y and breathing heavy, but not sweating. I can't notice any visible pre-contractions but she does have some slight pinkish discharge tonight. That's normal. All seems well, she is just progressing slowly. The biggest thing is that her belly is SO big and SO saggy that it is evident the foal has not shifted back into ready position. Frosty has the wide back stance that says this is about to happen, but it's impossible to say if this will be during the night tonight or perhaps tomorrow.
We were delighted with our spontaneous visitors this evening, and she "paid us back" by being our Surprise Chat Celebrity! If you were able to join in I hope you had fun. Lanette and her four daughters landed here due to treacherous road conditions on their way to a much farther destination and we convinced them to stay here over night. We had a ball and they will assess the weather and road conditions (as well as Frosty's!) in the morning before heading out.
Thank you, and sleep well - it's so exciting thinking of Frosty's foal that will be here with us very shortly. She is a very special horse and we love her friendly, calm babies!
