I have no clue when the foal is due, but when it does come, I'm sure HappyAppy will let us know.

happyappygirl said:The average duration of gestation is anywhere between 320 and 370 days - so that mare which is at 345 days is not "overdue", but well within the normal range! The foaling date is picked by the foal who dictates that he or she is sufficiently developed and ready to be born, not by the mare who is watching the calendar on the wall!

She would look like she was going to pop. With the 1st foal I was freaking out and had the vet out who assured me all was well. The following 2 pregnancies were the same duration and apparently typical for her. Another odd thing was that she foaled during the late afternoon with all 3, whereas the other mares foaled during the night. Except for one of Cheyenne's pregnacies when her foal decided to come on Easter evening. Plumloco and I got to watch the foal be born. What an experience.
mingiz said:Yea I have helped deliver a few. It's neat but then it can be sad...My happiest was my ssh filly being born..The saddest i seen was the mare went into labor and when we got there in the am the foal was 1/2 way out but 2 big to pass the hips. Took two of us to get the foal out and we lost the mare due to the foal tearing her up internally. Then foal was hand raised and grew up a total idiot. The thing that really made me mad was the owner knew she was due and lived right there and never checked her.
