Foals of 2020

I’m dealing with a fun maiden right now. Been walking for almost an hour and a bit heated, but not angry enough to foal yet. Maidens are so stressful to watch

LOL "not angry enough to foal yet"

In less amusing news - does anyone else think Ashado looks a bit off in her right fore?

We call it the angry sweats lol. At least the maiden mare I’m watching is doing more than New Money Honey is atm

I see that she is two weeks late. Does this happen often?

Yes it’s normal. At least with the mares here, most of them usually go two weeks over their due date

If I remember, she was wrapped on that foot last week.

Well the mare finally went. A Twirling Candy colt out of the half sister to Gr 1 winner Nolde. It was weird because she heated up good and then cooled off a bit and then broke water.

I believe the foal may be coming soon. Endless pacing, and she had attempted to lie down x3 right now but gets right back up.

Green Desert · Tue Mar 10, 2020 1:13 am

The birth may be imminent.

Summer Bird · Tue Mar 10, 2020 1:31 am

I’m kind of worried about her. She’s been going up and down a lot and laying there. Hopefully she can get the foal into position

Poor NMH was giving me cramps watching her

But, now she's back up and they turned the lights back off. Guess she's squeezed her legs closed enough to keep that darn foal in a bit longer . She's bound and determined not to have it

Green Desert · Tue Mar 10, 2020 3:58 am

I give up.

She was getting down, rolling around, trying to lie there..and now nothing LOL.

I was just about to post the photos of our first 2 foals this year, and then I saw that you beat me to it

9 more to go (8 thoroughbreds, 1 halfblood)

@ Morgan LeFey

Do you have any pictures of Vanishing Cupid? I looked up some pics of him but there aren't many.

Ziggypop · Tue Mar 10, 2020 12:00 pm

New Money Honey has been taken to a clinic for proactive care just in case of foaling issues. The vet sees no issues but to be on the safe side, she was moved.

I am relieved. Blessings for a safe delivery for both mare and foal.

Aw. I got "into" Foal Patrol because I loved Ashado on the track (I adore her spunky little filly), but I'd been watching New Money Honey pretty regularly -- really, checking in a few times a day for almost week before she was due. I hope she'll be okay.

@Mylute

Here's 2 photos of Vanishing Cupid. I really have to get some proper conformation shots of him this year!

He is a really good looking stallion, looks very much like his sire Galileo! And he is also the sweetest and easiest to handle stallion we've ever had.

Mylute · Tue Mar 10, 2020 3:11 pm

Thank you! He's a very pretty boy and he has a cool name.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, I really love bays--especially those with chrome! He's a cutie, and looks as though he could almost pass as a quarterhorse! He's a happy boy, all covered in mud.
