Coulee is still hanging in there. She is at 338 days today, and she is not fully bagged up yet. I always figure the average pregnancy at 343 days, so I'm not calling her overdue yet. But you never know with maiden mares!
Baby is still fairly active. I've been sleeping in the travel trailer near the foaling pen for the last couple of nights even though it's early as I want Coulee to get used to me checking on her with a flashlight. I am letting her choose to foal either in the new shelter or out in the pen. We have the front of the shelter set up now so that we can close it completely up if we need to.
I have been setting up electric fence for grazing turn out, but I need to buy a solar fencer or at least a solar panel and 12 volt battery to hook it up.
Meanwhile, no sign of bagging up for Belle yet, so maybe July foal is correct. But I check her every day.
The cowbirds hitch a ride on her a lot. This little female didn't want to leave.

It will be nice to have the babies spread out a bit. May 10th is a full moon, maybe that will help get things moving for Coulee.
When did you breed here. I could calculate but....
Just debating on when to take my mares this summer
Is it too late for me to place a guess? If not I'll pick May 9th, bay filly
My new guess is May 12th, 3:15 am. Bay filly.
Hang in there until May 9th!! (I think that's my guess!) May 9th, Coulee!
Ok, sorrel filly, May 11th, 2am. :)
Crystal- last day bred was May 31, Linda you are on May 10th, (see the list on the sidebar)and cdncowgirl I need you to guess a time as well.
No baby yet! It is exciting! :)
Hmm, okay. May 14th, Mother's Day! early morning, 5 am.
Hope this works this time...
