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.
So very sorry to hear about Windsong, but glad she is okay.Thanks for the update!
