Weather Change....

Hey everyone! Well, we are pretty much in the clear for Abby to have her baby, It is almost the first of the new year, so I am very relieved! You guys remember when Missy had her first foal, Lucy, and she was due on the 4th of Jan, but we didn't think she would make it to the first!?! I was so nervous. So, today I am going to get some straw, better late then never.... We are having a drop in the barometric pressure tonight, which for some reason can case mares to get ready or even have the foal, funny how that happens. So maybe her bag will get really big tonight! Man, you guys should hear the wind blowing, it is just howling up against the house! You can tell that Abby has been uncomfortable, but I just don't think her bag is ready yet, it just hasn't "blow-up" to where it doesn't look like it could get any bigger. Then again, that means nothing. Fixation did the exact same thing this yr, her bag didn't look all that big till after she foaled! Mares.... Tonight we are going out to dinner around 5, and them we may be out till around 9 to 10, so please keep an eye on my girl, we will have both of the phones listed on the cam! If you really think she may be in early labor, or in labor, not hesitate to call. Remember this will be her first foal, so labor will probably look pretty obvious. Also remember that just because she is laying down, doesn't mean she is in labor! LOL.

Lady update: So, this morning Lady had a tiny bit more blood. We called the vet again, and he is thinking that her mucus plug may be the culprit. I really hope that is all that is. Lady does "bleed" when she gives birth, more than other mares I have had, so maybe that is the problem. Thanks for your continued prayers for Lady and her baby! And for all of our horses, I am so thankful that you all can be apart of this! Have a great night! Taylor
