Miss attitude is now on cam. Her bag did shrink from this morning so we will just peek on her now and then but not seriously watch her yet. Well of course unless she does something that makes me think she might foal LOL

Last year Patches signs were smacking her flanks with her head and kicking her belly. I do not remember her circling the stall like some mares do but those that watched last year can remind me if she did.

We have been trying to adjust the cam because she is so much taller then the rest so Im hoping we have it right now

ALL RIGHT! Another Mare Stare!!!

The camera angle looks good to me!

Thanks for letting us share in this with you :D :D

Wooooo Hooooo :D :D :D Hey there Patches, remember us????? :lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks Kay for sharing with us again :D :D :D

Looks fine, Kay. If she hangs out in the front left corner, will we be able to see her? She looks great--more filled out than last year? Her backbone is more covered? Or am I imagining things? She's the mare you have a hard time keeping weight on despite lots of grain?

One thing both my mares did that was so telling they were about to foal is to have frequent poops. Both had several piles in a very short time, like 1-2 minutes apart. Right afterwards--they started labor.

No patches isnt the one so hard to keep weight on at least not until after she foals. She is MUCH bigger with this foal then last year, but she was bred to a bigger stallion then last year. But still Feature is 40" to her 46 so Im not sure why shes so big this year.

Flirt is struggling some with her weight. Her foal is just really sucking the weight off her. We are feeding her like crazy but I am a little worried as I can barely see the outline of her ribs and I dont like seeing that. we are now feeding Flirt 3-4 times per day. Just think its odd as her weight was fine last year so I suspect maybe shes going to have her first colt. She has had 2 fillies previously :)

Oh also for anyone that doesnt know you can right click on the picture and then go to video settings to adjust the contrast and darkness if you need to

WOOHOO!!
I got her up on cam!

I have the poll going for her on another thread, but I need to adjust my time. Didn't see this thread and the info you put out, so time will need adjusting,,,,,maybe.

Its really hard to know terri sorry! I think the due date of around June 2nd is accurate but you know these dang mares dont read books LOL.

Yeah, buddy, I'm ready for this relaxation/tension. YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Kay, for some reason, I lost track of the date. lol
Nope, not adjusting the date/time.....leaving it.
I won't win, but that's ok.
Now I have to go root around my room for some fat quarters. :)

A little handicapped here, on dial up and can't get the cam. but still excited!


Ninnie

Ninnie...if you can get RealPlayer to load, you can copy and paste the link in that and watch it.

Ty , I'll try, can't let you have all the fun! :D

Ninnie

Oh, we ALL have fun with the wonderful mare stares!!

Mare stare.....was so wonderful watching Patches last night :shock: :lol: :shock: So nice to get my mare fix again :D :D :D

This sounds like lots of fun. Will have to get in on the poll! Can't watch much on dial up, but have wireless access sometimes! :lol:

Houston we have a problem LOL. Patches bag has shrunk and Flirts is big so I may put Flirt in tonight if Patches is still smaller.

Poor patches I was out checking her udder and the flies are biting her udder causing it to bleed :( I really wish it would cool off a bit.

This could be one crazy mare stare :)


Kay

WOW! Does this mean that we get 2 mare stares in one?

This is such fun!

Poor Patches :( I hope she finds some relief!

The race is on.... It's Patches in the front by an udder...No now Flirt is ahead by a teat...
:lol: :lol: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:

oh amma that made me laugh so hard! I needed a good laugh!

I'll be watching! Can't wait for these!

We have Flirt on cam tonight :) I dont think she will foal tonight but her udder is very big and she had a tiny bit of wax so Im going keep an eye on her for awhile just in case. She was really kicking her belly earlier.

Patches was so mad when we put her in a different stall. I think she likes being on cam LOL

Kay, I don't know how YOU feel, but as long as I have a mare to stare at I don't care which one you have in the stall :lol: :lol: :lol: Flirt from the angle I am seeing does not look very big around....are you sure she is not teasing you? :roll: :roll: :roll: Maybe we should bet the FQ's on who foals first????? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I feel so bad for terri! I think she may hang me soon. I just dont know which one will go first and boy am I wishing I had 2 cameras LOL.

Terri cant we just keep the contest on Patches??

Honestly flirt is huge too. But shes always huge. I think because shes a mostly white horse you dont really see it until she lays down. Then you will be like OMG! LOL

Be warned flirt lays flat out A LOT. If shes just laying flat but you dont see contractions shes just sleeping. I think it was Karla last year took some cam pics of her with her huge belly sticking up sleeping (if you right click you can take a snapshot of the cam)

I better send Terri some prizes so she doesnt kill me soon :D

The picture is not great because the cam was adjusted for Patches who is about 8" taller then flirt ughhhh

It doesn't matter to me -- we could do two contests... :?

Terri put it up for a vote on the Patches Poll thread

I have.

The choices are...

1. Leave this one for Patches

OR

2. Make this one for Flirt, since she''s now in the stall and then make another for Patches.

I set a deadline for 5pm today Wed, 27 May EST

OMG! I just got a GOOD view of Flirt and she is HUGE!!!

LOL told ya!

Just know that we will probably be switching back & forth between the two as they are really neck and neck. Since they are due practically the same day theres just no way to know who will foal first. Right now I would think it would be flirt but I am just making a guess!

Morning update

Both Patches and Flirt have huge hard bags and both have a bit of wax :shock:

I seriously do not know at this point who should be on cam LOL. Last year Patches waxed for about 4 days before she foaled.

Hmm have to do some serious thinking here. Im leaning tword putting Patches on cam tonight as she had trouble foaling last year. Flirt has had 2 foals with no problems but then again you never know. I seriously think they may foal the same day wouldnt that be a riot!


UGHHHHHHHH

We have to leave for a couple hours so I have the neighbor watching patches out in the field. If anyone sees something my cell is 740-644-9508 abby the neighbor is 740-323-2916

I say we put them in the stall together and see which one goes first. lol
Oh no.....that could be a disaster! You'd probably have no wall left. lol

Dagnabbit, I can't see it on my mac. I don't have the proper plug-in and I can't figure out how to find it. I guess I'll just have to live vicariously!

This is what I found when I did a search

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/

Can't say which will go first.. its a race to the finish...But I will watch as work allows..LOL Just put my guess in for Patches, didn't find another thread for the second guess yet...
Sharon

Obviously I'm getting tired and need to go to bed. I do have Quicktime. But I still can't get the cam. I have a windows laptop that I can try on Friday, but I don't log onto the net with it very often, and will need to update all the antivirus stuff before I log on.

Sharon, we are leaving this one for Patches.


I have asked if anyone wanted to do one for Flirt, but no on has said anything as of yet.

I don't know if Real Player works for Mac, but if it does, you can copy the link and use Real Player

I'll be in if you want to do one for Flirt too! I must have 8 FQs I really hate, LOL!

K x

Im so sorry Macs are a whole nother story and I know nothing about them except its hard to get things like video players to work :(

I will be doing milk checks on both mares at feeding time. Earlier flirts was turning yellow and stickier.

just an fyi we have a big storm moving in and its messing up the cam and my computer so if it goes down its just the stupid storm

Oh my goodness!! I haven't been paying attention! I need to watch some mares on/off tonight. Sure am glad I can go to bed when I want to though. :lol:

I wish for you two darn cute fillies, Kay...

PS I clipped Mazie's face and neck while waiting for the vet to come give Chloe her WNV shot... she was such a good girl. :D
