Sunday Update

Sunday Update


Polly, Karisma and Tara are all progressing.  Their bags are filling and their bellies are huge.  It’s obvious that they enjoy taking a load off their feet and having some rest time in their stalls at night.

Right now Tara is the one that is looking closest to foaling. Her bag is full and tight , her tests show she is making changes and her rump muscles are softening. Last year she foaled at day 317 and she is now at day 314.  Will she repeat that pattern?  It’s just watch and wait now. I am going to move her to the largest foaling stall tonight since she appears to be the one closest to foaling.

Last Wednesday morning when Alexa went to feed she found that Windsong had foaled during the night.  She was less than 300 days and the foal did not survive.  It was a very sad day for us but we are thankful that Windsong is fine.

I’ll be posting regular updates on the mares each night.  Thanks to all of you who help us watch over them.
