Foaling countdown

Well the time has finally arrived, Prairie Breeze (aka Twiggy) and Poppy are now in the stables at night getting ready for foaling.
Poor old Twiggy is feeling the strain now, she is slow and lethargic and just stands around sleeping alot! Poppy is still the same although now HUGE!
Thanks to our good friend Carl from www.ineedaholidaytoo.com and his wife Jacqui we now have a webcam installed in the stable to watch Twiggy at night without disturbing her but I suspect she will hang on until the weather warms up a bit from the weekend, I hope so anyway as the windchill is still in the minus figures.
She has started to form an udder now which is how we judge the imminence of the foal. We have decided (this could change!) that the new addition to the herd will be called Apache Dreamer…. watch this space as they say.
Meanwhile we have had 3 enquiries for viewings for the property, wouldnt it be so good if we could move to a smaller house with more land for the herd, I love this house and it is perfect for a family with a couple of ponies or horses but not suitable for 10 which is what we will have next winter if the foals havent gone by then!
Watch this blog for regular updates on the mares foalings.
Bye for now.
