I'm glad to see you all are having a good time with this!! I for one, am not addicted. I've had my fill. :wink:
I know Tracy appreciates the extra eyes. When the white bubble first pops through, there needs to be a hoof with another about 6" behind it--and a muzzle on top. The foal must be out of the amniotic sac within two minutes... the problem with minis is the sac is the same thickness as a big horse, but the foal is much smaller so it doesn't break as easily. I broke the sac on 5/6 of mine.
I just peeked at her. Stomping the back legs is a sign, too, but I've seen horses start that many days before they foal. Watch for several poop piles... the best sign since you can't see her milk. :lol:

For some reason, I can't get the Cam to tinytrotters to work. Oh well. I'll just watch Diana & Swirl. LOL They both look like they are going to pop soon! The fly problem must be bad up there. The owner came in earlier and used a spray on Diana. She might have on Swirl also before I came back to the computer. Had to go refill the coffee. LOL Have a great day everyone. Off to go watch the Mares. LOL
