Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on December 28, 2019, 09:06:19 PM: Well here we are.... Almost time to start foal watch again!
Sassy is 255 ish days.... Foal watch starts day 300 which is Feb 10 2020.

Precious didn't seem to take as she took a long time to breed then when she did it was over several months with the last cover in October. So as of right now I'm not sure is she will have a 2020 Foal or not.
Pepper well she never showed any signs and never saw her breed at all so she might have taken the year off too.

Post by: Holly on January 24, 2020, 08:11:40 PM: Day 282 !
No udder development. She's got a smaller tummy than last year at this stage. Foal watch starts in about 3 weeks!

Post by: dcwolcott on January 26, 2020, 10:50:50 AM: Can't wait!! This is going to be a good season for watching!!!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Silver City Heritage Farm on February 01, 2020, 12:18:04 AM: I agree Diane! Spots here, maybe spots in Chanda's group, and pinto roam in Elizabeth's thread. It's surely going to be a colorful year here. ^-^ ^-^ ^-^

Post by: dcwolcott on February 01, 2020, 10:33:33 AM: Can't wait for SPOTS here!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on February 11, 2020, 01:40:19 PM: So here we are at day 300. Sassy has the start of a tiny udder.
She's not showing any other signs... Still looks pretty wide.
She is on camera at night from 9 pm to 7-9 am.
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Ryan on February 11, 2020, 11:02:47 PM: Sounds exciting Holly , Best wishes for the safest of arrivals as always ;pray :)
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on February 12, 2020, 09:22:38 AM: YEAH!! I can start watching!!

Looking good, and just eating and eating with that pretty blanket showing off her SPOTS!!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on February 13, 2020, 06:32:35 PM: Yep... Day 302 udder up a tiny bit more... Has bouts of being income. This foal sure is active!
I love the active ones.... They love playing with balls in the stall.
Which I still need to buy!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on February 14, 2020, 09:05:15 AM: If I didn't know her better, I'd think she'd stayed the entire day and night until this morning in the same place eating! LOL

Yes, the active foals are definitely great fun!!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on February 18, 2020, 08:12:03 PM: Day 307!!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Chanda on February 18, 2020, 09:24:23 PM: I don't think she'll make my guess on the FB guess her foaling contest. She's progressing quite nicely.
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on February 19, 2020, 08:13:40 AM: Boy, I don't know what your guess was, Chanda, but she's moving right ahead quickly for sure! Filling nicely, luckily nipples haven't filled yet, so she still has some time.

Holly, what has been her "usual" foaling day by history? Are we expecting a little one sooner rather than later? Can't really tell since when I watch her I can't gauge how baby is sitting, since all I ever catch her doing is eating so I see her "blanket" but not much else! LOL
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on February 24, 2020, 08:43:44 PM: Day 313
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on February 24, 2020, 08:46:06 PM: Sassy Foal at 337 and 323 so she doesn't seem to follow any pattern
She's still a little wide... Still a little low... But she's smaller with this foal than her last ones.
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on February 25, 2020, 08:00:24 AM: Well, for the first time I'm checking on her that she isn't eating. You're right, still a little wide, but it looks like maybe those nipples are starting to fill....a little hard to see. She's just quietly standing and resting. Good little momma!!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on February 25, 2020, 06:05:16 PM: Mike is definitely stickier today....i would call it sticky but not THE sticky.
Calcium has risen a small bit.
Vulva very relaxed. Udder going down during turn out still. Comes back quickly when stalled.
She's at the stage of wanting back in barn about noon after only a few hours outside.
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on February 26, 2020, 09:14:16 AM: Sounds like fabulous progress! VERY exciting and can't wait to see that little one.

Thanks for the update!!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on February 26, 2020, 01:23:33 PM: It's my only foal this year so I'm really looking forward to it. I've already bought a ball for the stall and im sure Toddi will enjoy a playmate when it gets bigger

That's going to be one spoiled baby, singles always seem to get spoiled. ;)

Post by: Anna on February 26, 2020, 03:22:42 PM: Sorry cant seem to tune in to your cam watch so been reading here and looking at your pics. She has certainly progressed quickly over the past weeks, don't think you will have much longer to wait to see what she's been hiding. Getting exciting now especially as it will be your only baby this year Holly.
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on February 27, 2020, 08:41:40 AM: Standing quietly at the back of the stall. Looking good and resting.
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on February 27, 2020, 07:13:05 PM: Ph 7.5-7.8 !! We will hopefully see it start dropping more soon

Anna... It's probably my internet. The cam reloads when we've blinked internet and it takes a minute to reload.
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on February 28, 2020, 09:10:57 AM: Good news!! She's standing and eating, so all is well with her! ;pray ;pray
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on February 29, 2020, 11:08:23 PM: It's been slow going but Sassy testing 6.8!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on March 02, 2020, 09:27:28 AM: Where is she testing today, Holly? Just standing quietly in her stall. LOVE those SPOTS!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Holly on March 02, 2020, 02:34:26 PM: Finally testing READY!
Hopefully we have a foal tonight!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on March 02, 2020, 04:05:53 PM: OMG! I've been back and forth watching her most of today, and had a lot of trouble getting re-connected when the link paused. But I'm back on now (I'm a bit stubborn) and while she was resting earlier today, she seems a bit more unsettled and wandering her stall a bit. Looks like she's actually eating a bit of her bedding.

Now back in her "corner" -- at the back looking at the stall door. Praying all is uneventful and she has a safe foaling with a healthy little one!! ;pray ;pray And tonight would be just perfect -- and I'm crossing my fingers for SPOTS!!!!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on March 02, 2020, 06:21:28 PM: Oooooooo, I see milk being tested!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on March 03, 2020, 08:46:02 AM: Tail looks more fully braided this morning, so I'm guessing she is closer than before. Doing some eating, so we wait........

Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on March 04, 2020, 08:15:27 AM: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I missed the birth, had to move away from the computer eventually, but saw her there this morning! Haven't really seen much of her, but I'll be looking!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Chanda on March 04, 2020, 10:14:32 AM: When did she arrive?
The battery died on my kindle around 10PM, and I went to bed not long after, so I missed it.
I was able to catch a glimpse or two this morning. She's darling, congrats.
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on March 04, 2020, 01:19:27 PM: Looks like "Ink Spot" has the nursing thing down very well. Nice long drink going on now!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Anna on March 04, 2020, 04:07:34 PM: Still having trouble with the connections (probably my internet connection) so just wishing you many congratulations and a huge welcome to little Ink Spot. Cant wait to see some pictures!

Post by: Holly on March 05, 2020, 09:44:28 PM: Sorry I had trouble uploading a pic so trying again!!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on March 06, 2020, 09:17:08 AM: What a little cutie running around her stall! She's an active little girl for sure! I haven't seen her play with her ball yet, but she's got the running down pat!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on March 06, 2020, 08:20:23 PM: Just wanting you to know that I can't connect for most of the day today. It keeps giving me an error message like it's something on their end.

I miss seeing the little active beauty!
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Chanda on March 11, 2020, 11:01:50 AM: Holly asked me to post a few pics for her, she's have an issue or something, I didn't ask, just said sure.
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: Ryan on March 11, 2020, 06:09:38 PM: She is a ripper :)
Title: Re: Sassy foal watch 2020
Post by: dcwolcott on March 12, 2020, 07:54:21 AM: Well, I'm hoping she'll develop some spots as she matures. ;pray
