Oh Gussie

 I swear there is no more room in that belly!

Gussie is a big mare, and the sire was 16 hh, so I expect this to be a big foal. Color options are sorrel, red roan, black or blue roan. The sire carried one copy of red so the chances of a red based foal are probably 75% although, the same chances as what she had with Beamer and she had 2 blue roans, a black, and a red roan from him. So you never know!

I had just bathed her to cool down from the heat (she loves baths) and of course she had to roll. What a belly! I put the white tape up to keep her from rolling in a nearby patch of dirt.  At night she hangs out in the barn; I keep the door open so she can go out for foaling as the stalls in there are rather small. I have my cot set up in there- I must say I sleep well there with all that fresh air! Of course, I also have Thumper and Foose for company!

I have a feeling that she will foal shortly after Wednesday's new moon.
