Her back doesn't look as swayed now as it was. And belly looks like it went UP and not down. Her tail is still dropped, but I'm thinking just reach in there and pull that filly out

Hmmmmmmmmm I will be going out soon to check her. He swears he saw 2 small contractions. Which would be stage 1 labor but I dont see a thing. She does look much less pregnant.

I know shes going to foal tonight while Im gone and that will make me crazy at the show

Terri are you going to be around this weekend to help him watch?? Im so worried he will fall asleep

I'll be here.
I have the guy coming to fix my oven at around midnight your time. Courtney has been plopped on the love seat and that's right in front of the monitor and she keeps a peek if I'm not around.

You have my home number, right? He can give me a call if he wants to nap and I can make sure I"m at the computer.
I don't know if you can call my house phone from your phone or not. Some people have a tough time....just odd.......

We will be leaving today around Noon and back sometime Sunday hopefully before noon. Poor hubby will be worn out. Thank you sooooooooo much. If you see something call and just talk loud on the message as that will wake him up if he fell asleep. Im going to turn it all way up before I leave LOL

Oh, no worries....tell him to have his cell phone next to him too. I still have that number. lol

PLUS....there will be others watching too! I know Sue and Sharon will most likely be here, so I'm sure someone will call if I don't see anything.
Heck, we could even give him a call just to make sure he DOES wake up. lol

You guys are the best!!!

Rusty doesnt have a cell anymore as he was laid off his job so they took his phone back :( I have to take my cell phone with me so he can get me if he needs me.

Ok, will cross his number off. lol

We will be here, Kay. Don't worry. I know you will, but SOMEONE will have eyes on that silly mare!

Ok, I need to run to the little store. We are out of bread <gasp!>

she really sunk down and does not look preggers. shes gonna foal tonight i bet :(

Don't worry Kay.
I hope that now that you let her out, she doesn't roll in mud and foal!

YO, RUSTY!!
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!!!!

YOU MISSED A SPOT!!! :)

Oh gosh.....still not yet????? I can't believe it! I just knew there would be 8 hooves in that stall this morning! Ok...will try to keep watch again today....will be off and on... Kay have a safe trip, have fun and bring home a truck load of trophies and blues!

Have a good trip, Kay! Win everything they will let you and then come home and show Patches!
Don't worry,we will all be here as much as possible...hey, we even have my husband walking thru and saying, how's the mare???
Besides, I still think a big bear hug from Kyle will just pop that foal right out...........

Yeah, Kay, don't worry about Patches. I'll watch tonight, and I'll get Mom to watch too. And you already know that she's ready, willing and able to pick up the phone if need be! LOL. Speaking of which, how is Rumor? I miss him!

There will be more people watching than you can shake a stick at! This time we'll be telling Patches to wait until Momma comes back home. LOL

Ok, bedtime for me!
Nite all......
Hope there are 8 hooves in there when I get up!

What??? No foal??? I think that's Tease in there, not Patches!!! Holy Moly!!! Well...tonight??? of will she wait til Sunday night when Kay gets back home??? :wink: :wink:

Holy Moly - empty stall instead of extra hooves!

Yes Kay, we will help Rusty watch tonight, no worries!! You go to the show & have a wonderfully successful time - lots & lots of blue ribbons to show off when you get back!

I'm taking a nap this afternoon, will be full of it and ready for a looong mare stare tonight :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol: :wink: :wink:

Good Morning from California.... :lol:

No, I just can't believe it---only 4 hooves STILL!
(although apparently there were a couple of contractions
reported) :?:

And Mama Kay going to a Horse Show--does
Patches understand all of this? :shock:

I just don't think Patches WANTS to have this baby.... :evil:

(please, don't have that baby outside in the mud today,
PLEASE.........)

After seeing all the messages in this topic, I'm of this opinion. By the time Patches has this foal, it'll already be grazing in the meadow and forego suckling. :lol:

You are all so wonderful. I sure dont know what I would do without you. Rusty is so tired so Im really worried he will fall asleep. I told him some of you are going to try and watch with him and will call him if you see her getting busy. We are taking a laptop to the show so I can watch her from there but I dont think they have wireless :(

Her bag is so full and tight now that it cant be much longer. I really do hope she waits until I get back but my intuition says she wont. I almost bailed on the show but I cant get my money back.

We are leaving in an hour or so

Have a great trip Kat, and try to relax and have some fun!
There are plenty of us here watching!

Come on Patches, get down to business.

Kay, please have a safe trip and a good show! Please try not to stress too much.

I can not believe she has not foaled yet. Ihope she is ok.

Kyia

I bailed last nite at 1am, and I can't believe she hasnt foaled yet!

Have a good time Kay, we will be ready and raring to help Rust watch the show....rest easy...your mare stare team is ready to go!!! :D :D :D

I guess you've left already Kay - hope you have a good show! I'll be watching as well!

Good morning everyone. We have an empty stall. No foal yet? I'm sorry that Kay won't be here if she foals tonight. My assumption is that she is getting a breather outside so they can clean all the poop up.

Patches seems to be so unpredictable.
I'm afraid she'll decide to foal outside.
(which is apparently not a good idea--like
where's the cam? would anyone know?) :roll:

Yes, I agree she gets an A+ for pooping. :lol:

I believe they can see her from the house when she is outside. I'm pretty sure that Rusty and Kyle will be keeping a close watch on her :wink: they will have Kay to answer to :evil: and she is Kyle's baby :D

So.... what did he just spread around the stall? She's back in there.

Does anyone know what has been decided on w/ the FQ's??

Kyia

If you were in on the "contest", Terri was going to pm us with the results of the survey.

She's back.................Does that mean that sheMIGHT be in labor????????????

I'm not sure...it may just mean that the guys can watch her better on cam than from the house to the pasture.

She's laying down again.

Gayle, with Dancer they put shavings down while she foaled to soak up all the icky stuff. When the foal comes, they clean it all out and put down lovely, clean soft hay! The shavings soak up the mess better. :D

Oh she is pacing around!!! :shock:

and that tail is a swishing!!!

She DOES look a bit agitated - maybe she just wants to be out, she's standing by the door?

They may have another storm coming through, she could hear Rusty or Kyle outside and be antsy waiting to be fed LOL You KNOW how they starve her...you can tell by the lack of poop in her stall everyone morning :lol: :lol: :lol:

Will she lay down to do this?
