**Popcorn @ Moolah Rance, High Risk, NEED EYES!!**
I am relaying this message for Shari at Moolah Ranch.
She has and outside mare at her barn to foal out named Popcorn. She is due May 20.
Popcorn is a 20 year old mare that has previoulsy had three foals before but that was 5+ years ago.
She was brought to Moolah Ranch by her owners from Washington State University. Popcorn has an infection in her right front hoof (Bandaged) which they have been battling. Her hoof has tried to separate from her body a few times.
Popcorn has been under TONS of antibiotics but they have since stopped antibiotics since arriving at Moolah Ranch in hopes of boosting the foal's size. Blood work has been taken to see if the infection has cleared up.
She has what looks to be white wax on one teat as of 7pm PST but she has only 1/4 full bag. She is realxed and flat in the girlie area but her tail head hasn't softened yet.
CEOates Chat is watching her until 4am PST but need some eyes after that.
Come and join us there if you are awake and watching Popcorn.

**Misty @ Miracle Horse Rescue**
Misty is a 26 yr old bay QH mare, and vet has said she should foal in the next 2 weeks, but they think she may go this weekend. (We all know how that goes! ) She is considered "high risk", so lots of eyes are appreciated! The foal will be available for adoption once weaned.

**Octavia @ Shady Nook**
Her due date seems a way off, but she's on cam and lit at night, so the folks at Shady Nook might think she'll go early. Anyhow, she is one of my favorite mares from last year, and some of you might want to get an early look at her. Warning: she is drop-dead gorgeous (and a Friesian)!

**Muzic @ Branscomb Ready!!!**
We have a new cam online tonight - Branscomb Holsteiners has Muzic on cam. She was due two weeks ago - and is showing all signs that she will foal tonight.
We hope you can help them watch.

**Lacey @ Custom Color**
We have Lacey on cam now, she is due May 15th and this will be her 6th foal (2nd with us). She has a small bag and isn't looking like she will go on her due date, gonna be a late one I'm sure. I see that she is a bit hard to see when she is eating in her stall, she really blends in with her shavings...lol!
Her last foal was born around 11:30p.m. and she is pretty easy to tell when labor begins... not like our Buggy AKA "lalala foaling now... lalala". Lacey went off her feed the day of foaling last year, her milk is a real easy indicator, and she gets really restless as she nears foaling. Last year she did some pacing and lots of pawing, licking and chewing, and so on. She's really easy to read... although now that I've said that she'll change everything, hahah.
She is a very experienced mare and prefers to foal without neighbors so she is in by herself in the evenings. We had some wall problems lastyear with her neighbors, she kept kicking at them if they even looked at her stall. She will be out during the day while the weather is nice and I'll post updates as things get closer.
Thanks for all your help guys! Happy and safe foaling to everyone and Good Night Everyone!!

**Grace @ Hopeful Farm Sport Horses**
She is due on 6/3, however she is looking much closer than Leolita, who is due 5/20. So Grace is on the cam right now.
Her repro history, she's had 5 foals and has been always at least 7 days early, and often is 14 days early. This is why I think, that she is looking close.
She is in foal to Routinier. Cam will only be on at night, as she will be outside, unless the weather is bad or she looks imminent.

**Dottie @ Pattis Ponies**
Just wanted to update you all on my mare Dottie who is under the cam now. She is the mare we showed last year who was straight out of the field and had been a broodmare all her life. She has had 2 babies that we know of, but know nothing about her habits. Her 330 day date is 5/13/07, but in my opinion she for sure won't do it by then as her udder is just now getting a little bigger and firmer. She is a little bit looser along her tailhead (I hope i'm not imagining that ha!) you know when you are looking for things sometimes you can think you are seeing/feeling it! Anyway she is in foal to Jill's stud and this time since she is my mare I'll get to name her after MY farm name! Heck I've foaled out so many of Jill's it will be nice see my name in front of the baby this time!! Hee, hee. heading to the shower but be back in a little while!

**Aana @ Rising Rainbow Arabains**
Dave finally got the problem with my camera figured out so we're back on line. I have moved Heiress and her colt to a different stall so you all can get acquainted with Bey Aana before she foals.
Bey Aana is 18 and has had four gorgeous colts for me. I'm really wanting a filly this time. . I used the apple cider vinegar on her feed before and during breeding, so hopefully she will come though for us and give me a replacement filly.
Her due date is June 8 but she normally goes early. She is also a very sneaky mare. I have never caught her foaling as hard as I've tried. She was never really bonded with people until we got her.
She was raised in a training/show facility and her owners quit doing horses about the time she was born. ( I actually foaled her out just before I quit working there as a groom so I've always thought of her as one of my children) . The people paid the bills but never did anything with her and the people at the facility didn't have time for her. No one really appreciated or loved on her. I inquired about her at age 10 when I found out that she was going to be sent to a local auction house where she would have surely gone to slaughter. She has been with us ever since.
My daughter, Lindsay, who has brain damage from cancer, has made Aana her personal project and has spent many hours winning this untrusting mare over. Lindsay is the only person that Aana trusts and loves totally. She only tolerates Dave and me.
While Lindsay has been really good for Aana, Aana has been equally good for Lindsay. Being able to win this mare over when we have not, has really boosted Lindsay's self-esteem and given her something to be proud of. This makes Aana a very special mare to us because Lindsay has had a difficult time and Aana has really made her life meaningful for which we will be forever grateful. So it's very important to us that this mare be happy, healthy and safe. We ask your help in watching over this very special mare.
Aana is already beginning to bag up. How long things will take to progress, I wish I knew. She's the only mare I own that I've never been able to figure out. She's foaled not bagged up at all. Actually, I think she's foaled in about every stage of unreadiness possible, she's never gone by the book. So your guess will be as good as mine. Learning her behavior will probably be the only way to find clues. I know I'm looking forward to monitoring her because I'm thinking I actually might have a chance of catching her this time.
