Update Snickers:
Same story, different day. No dramatic changes. It was a beautiful day here and we had lots of visitors at the farm. The mares got lots of attention. Priscilla and I took Snickers beside the golf cart for a long walk around the farm. We took it easy and slow up and down the sloping hills. It worked for Megan and she delivered the night that she had walked that afternoon. Maybe it will work on Snickers.
Sabrina seems ready all but the fluid in the bag, there is none yet! She has set the halter monitor off 3 or 4 times laying out flat tonight. She's just teasing!!
It has got to all break loose sometime and babies start hitting the ground.
Stay tuned and wait and watch watch and wait
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Snickers as of today is 345 days. My major concern at this time is the size of this foal. The foal has got to be growing daily and it has gotten active. Tonight her temp. was still 99.8. Her udder has increased in size the last few days. But certainly a long ways from where I would like for it to be.
I have alerted the vet. if we call to come immediately. Hopefully this won't be necessary but better to let them know. I think Snickers will probably deliver with no problem but the concern is still there as each day passes.
Carolyn and I have to many mares due at the same time and four of hers being maidens. You never know what they will do. Sabrina could foal at any time.
Talk about being on pins and needles.
I don't have long for my prediction so Snickers better get active.
Stayed tuned as surley we are going to get things rolling.
