Mare is elite SF Hana Floria in foal to TB A Fine Romance due May 28, 2007 A hunter or eventer for sure!!

[Riva]

Please…if you want your name on the list you MUST give me mare’s name, stallions name she is bred to and DUE DATE! otherwise you don’t go on the list.

Please let me know as babies start arriving! I will develop a photo page. I can’t wait to see all the little monkeys!

And in case anyone has forgotten the joys of foaling, let me share this:

"Foaling Season Diary

10:00 Gather sleeping bag, alarm clock, and three old horse magazines and head for the barn.
10:01 Return to house for bag of chips and 32 ounce Diet Pepsi
10:10 Back to barn. Flashlight goes out halfway there. Figure I can make if from memory. Pat faithful ranch dog’s head as he pants and slobbers alongside me.
10:11 Suddenly remember I have no ranch dog!
10:11 Run screaming to the house. Change flashlight batteries. Change underwear. Return to barn.
10:15 Establish foal-watch headquarters.
10:16 Enter broodmare’s stall for the 5,687th time.
10:16 Broodmare flattens ears for the 5,687th time.
10:19 Return to headquarters and squirm into sleeping bag.
11:18 Finally fall asleep.
11:19 Alarm goes off.
11:20 Peek through peephole. Broodmare flattens ears.
11:21 Reset alarm clock and flick off lights.
11:23 Flick on light. Realize 32 ounce Diet Pepsi was a mistake.
11:24 Run to house.
11:29 Walk back to barn.
11:30 One last check of broodmare through peephole. Ears pinned.
11:41 Check peephole. Mare is lying down.
11:42 Enter broodmare’s stall carrying “Ye Olde Foaling Manual,” 3 pounds of rags, and iodine.
11:42 Mare breaks wind and gets up - ears pinned.
11:43 Return to sleeping bag and flick off light.
12:29 Fall asleep.
12:31 Alarm goes off.
12:32 Peek through peephole. Broodmare fine.
Can’t see ears. Assume pinned.
12:33 Back to sleeping bag.
12:39 Leg cramp.
12:40 Leg cramp gone.
1:10 Fall asleep.
1:39 Alarm goes off. Sleep through it.
6:30 Wake up. Glance at clock. Attempt to leap from bed. Crawl to peephole. See two sets of pinned ears!!"

Just checking in to see how all the girls are. My mare isn’t due until July 1st and I’m already beginning to get impatient! How are the rest of you doing?

[Leena]

Thanks for asking; both mare are doing fine and heading for their 2 nd rhino vaccines.

I feel like you, always impatient ! But time goes fast and soon I wish to see 2 little ones looking for speed !!!

[maple_brook]

Starting to get excited/nervous. :winkgrin: SPS Pakesa is at day 304. Eeee…just praying for a healthy mare and foal.

Impatient. My mare isn’t due till June. She’s got a bit of a baby belly already though.:winkgrin:

[shawnee_Acres]

I have three:

Cautionary (TB) maiden mare in foal to Wine N Diamonds (our app sporthorse) due April
Dottie (sorry can’t remember reg. name right now! 1/2 HAN 1/4 TB 1/4 App) in foal to Wine N Diamonds Due April
A Sin and A Lie (TB) in foal to Welt Marke (OLD) Due June

[patch_work_farm]

Expecting two this year (with a major “gap factor”)

EMC Diamonds R Forever (Don Frederico/Matcho) in foal to Rotspon, due March 14 but she is a maiden so…who really knows when???

EM Felicitious (Wertherson/Leibniz) in foal to Nocturno (repeat of last year) due June 8-might leave her open to “catch her back up”

Will be rebreeding EM Graphitti-Gold Luck’s full sister to Royal Prince to hopefully duplicate the 2006 filly, Regalia

I still have another dose of Rotspon and am trying to decide if I will breed SPS Myrtle Mae (ET) or rebreed her daughter if I really like the cross. I can’t believe I am this close to foal watching already but VERY glad we have had a mild winter (will I be so lucky or will it be born in a blizzard??)

[Elio04]

We have 2 due this year

Belle (TB) in foal to CounterClaim (www.flyingcolorsfarm.com) due 5/25/07

Belle’s daughter:

Joey (Balta’Czar/Belle) in foal to our Elio (Torino/Saluut) due 7/1/07

I can’t wait, I’m so excited!!

[Riva]

all updated…

shawnee - can you give me more specific dates? (same to anyone who just gave me a month.) Yes, I know there is no such thing as a “due date,” but it just helps to have a more specific date to list.

Here is a foaling calculator if that helps:
