Location: In the land of peanuts and cotton | My mare isn’t due until the beginning of February (bred March 3rd or March 5th) I started noticing last week that her bag was feeling different. Firm or knotty is the best way I know to describe it. Haven’t noticed much change in it until tonight. Tonight it was her whole bag and starting down into her teats. And it’s more like firm but mushy at the same time. Hard to describe. Also noticed yesterday she’s very ill and agitated acting and not wanting to be messed with. I’m so busy with my wedding being in two weeks and want to make sure I don’t miss anything. Plus when she had an ultra sound about a month ago the vet wasn’t too pleased with how the foal was laying. Said it wasn’t breach but he didn’t think it was quite how it needed to be. He said with her being maiden he’s afraid she’ll have trouble. Is it possible the foal may be coming sooner than the beginning of February? Is there any other signs I can look for that tells me how close she is?
ETA: has anyone heard of being able to use a pool test strip to test the colostrum/milk to see how close she is? I saw something about it in an article but it wasn’t very well explained.
UPDATE!!! She’s here!!! Someone’s going to have to tell me how to post pics.

| With some mares, especially maidens, it can be really hard to tell when she is close- some bag up, some never do, and some bag up and regress. They can also start exhibiting colic-like symptoms, and a relaxed tailhead. Here's a link with pictures and some great insight:
http://articles.extension.org/pages/29126/horse-foaling-management-...
There's also alert systems you can attach to your mare, but I've seen those get rubbed off and activated from the weirdest things. If it is at all possible, could you board her at your vet's for a week or two to be foaled out safely? I know it could cost a bit, but that peace of mind might be worth it to know she is in good hands while you're planning your wedding. |

We talked about boarding her with him. We both decided it would be best to let her foal here 1 because she’s always been the type to get nervous anytime she’s stalled somewhere new without her buddy. And 2 he just opened his practice here and has his own personal horses but really didn’t have a place to put her that he thought would be suffecent because all he has is a couple small stalls and he preferred she have a big open area. I have her a 24x24 stall set up in the barn because I didn’t want her to foal out in the open with the other horses. |

| As far as the milk tests go, they sell tests online specifically for predicting the foaling date- they’re fairly accurate, but not 100%. They’re testing for a change in the electrolytes in the milk, to give you a predictive value of when she might foal. In regards to the foal being out of position, the foal doesn’t get into the exact position until hours before foaling. That’s actually the first stage of parturition. I would be concerned if the foal’s back legs were presented first, because usually in the last stage of pregnancy, they’re in dorsal recumbency, meaning their front legs are pointed out but they’re upside down.
It sounds like you’re getting as prepared as you can be. I hope it all goes well for you and your mare! Keep us posted

| One of the reasons mares roll a lot when getting ready to foal (say starting about two weeks out) is to reposition the foal for birthing. They lay in all sorts of positions before that time.
My experience says maidens don't foal early. But the fact is any mare can foal early, on time, or late. And maidens are harder to read since they've not been through the experience before and sometimes are way reactive to the first pains (think braxton hicks) of labor. The bag is helpful in knowing when foaling is getting close, but I don't count on it being THE sign of imminent foaling. I've had mares that took 3 years of foaling and foaling notes before I actually was able to see them foaling. I've had others that practically held up until I was there on their first foal.
Since your wedding is coinciding with your mare's expected due date, and mares are very, very astute at figuring out when you aren't around, if you want this foaling attended I would recommend figuring out a way to board her with a facility that can foal her out.
Good luck with both your wedding and foaling! |

We had one mare who in all 8 of her foals would NEVER wax up. Not once.
She also had everything between 1 AM and 4 AM. And we definitely didn't AI her at those times. |

That last sentence was the craziest thing I have ever read. If that was true, we would all breed on a pretty day, at 11 AM so we could enjoy our morning coffee, watch the birth, and then have a good lunch. |

Location: In the land of peanuts and cotton | Sorry just saw everyone’s comments. Had the vet out this morning. What we through was labor was not true labor. Said it was just her getting the baby prepared for labor. Told us not to be overly concerned yet but that true hard labor probably wouldn’t be too far behind. We would have known this last night but we called 4 different vets and couldn’t get a single one. Her vet that’s been seeing her the whole pregnancy was out of town but he’ll be back tonight.

The vet that saw her yesterday raises pleasure and halter horses also. She said she’s seen this last anywhere from a few hours to a month. My mates get that been taking care of her was out of town doing relief work for another vet. He called and check on her yesterday and he’s concerned that she hasn’t had it yet. So idk what to do. The vet that saw her is an older lady and my mares vet is fresh out of vet school. So I’m not sure what to do. |

My first repro vet was part of the original team for Equine Reproductive Clinic, a very highly rated repro clinic here in VA.
My first foaling experience, second for this mare, the mare went to 365 days before Meredith would consider it late. Horses gestation is a 330-370 day range. It is not like humans where 2 weeks early or late can be an issue.
If your mare isn't ready means the foal isn't ready. We semi-induced at 368 on that first mare and the foal was born peri-mature. VERY small (under 24 inches, or 6 hands), floppy ears, almost no mane or tail hair, and still had curly hair on his body. Only 24/7 care kept him going in the first 3 days.
What is the last breeding date for your mare? There are plenty of foaling calculators out there that will nail the 340-342 date for you. The first date anything should be a big worry would be 20 days past the 342 date. |

********************************************************
********************************************************
Watching for waxing or testing milk is a boring job and can be false ...
Watch the vertical size of her vulva as it gets longer and relaxed the
closer to birthing she gets.
If you see rose colored water droplets ... my mares will usually foal
within 24 hours or if I go to get a sandwich ... lol
It is a sign the water/bag has broken.
My lifetime years of experience with maiden mares is they are "11 month" mares ..
plus/minus one week .... from now till February 12th ..
A pregnant mare is like waiting on a pot of water to boil ...
turn your back or blink an eye ... walla there is a new baby in the stall..
If she is stalled.. turn her out by herself as much as you can ...
the walking and rolling will move baby into position since it will be
bounced around.
A few things I do right now ... 7-10 days from my guesstimated birthing time
I worm the mare with Ivermectin.... to clean out worm eggs .. since
Mother Nature orders the foal to eat some of her poop within 24
hours to start the babies good gut bacteria ... this keeps them from
getting a tummy full of worm eggs .. and not need worming until
weaning at 6 months old.
Then use the round worm wormer with the P word meds on the foal.
TIPS .. If you are present at birthing do not mess with the mare unless
her rear end is lying against a stall wall.
As baby comes out .. stay out of the stall and view babies head and nostrils
to make sure they are free of the sack. It is common for mare and foal
to lay or sit for 30 minutes prior to trying to find her legs. This gives time
for the extra blood in the sack to drain into the foal and make it stronger
and healthier.
The foals navel cord has a weak spot in it about 3 inches from its belly ..
this will break when foal and/or mare stands up.
DO NOT pull on the afterbirth hanging out of the mare ... let the weight of
it and her after birth contractions move it out of her uterus by its self ....
if you try to assist, it is easy to break it off inside her then you are in
real trouble to remove the retained portion.
Ask your vet for some real iodine 6-7% and put it in a small spray bottle ..
use gloves to keep your hands from getting stained ... spray foals naval
cord thoroughly from both sides. This strong iodine is a great antiseptic
and is strong enough to cauterize the rough edges and a small distance
inside the cord. This seals the cord shut so bacteria cannot enter.
Do it again 24 hours later as a safety precaution.
Have a feed sack handy to put the afterbirth in and remove from stall.
Leave the baby alone when it is trying to stand and let it look for a titty
by itself for 30-45 minutes before assisting. At this time mare will also
be nosing and bonding with the baby. Mares have the instinct to spread
a leg backward and nose her baby into nursing position without any help.
Stay out of the stall ... baby will want to bond with you and ignore the mare
where her dinner is ... lol
Assisting or if mare is not accepting baby within 45 minutes..
Place mares right side against a stall wall and nose in a corner so she
can't move around. ... then position baby into sucking position ...
if you get milk on your glove/hand .. let baby suck a finger and get a taste ..
and wipe milk on the back of the baby so mare knows it belongs to her.
You may have to trick her from finger to a tit while sucking .... very difficult
to force babies nose to mares bag without it resisting and stopping any
sucking/nursing motions.
Just keep in mind horses have been having
babies in the dark out in big pastures and
baby has found the dinner table
with no difficulties ...
One other important item ... baby needs to suck to get some colostrum in
her tummy within 3 hours and 6 hours is too late ... the babies tummy
and intestines will make a protective mucus layer on walls to protect them
from stomach acid and colostrum antibodies cannot penetrate this mucus
type barrier ...
Ask your vet where/who has frozen colostrum and nipple bottle and for a phone
number if mare is not milking ... the sucking and udder nose bumping the foal does
turns the milk machine on in most mares ... lol
As you can see, birthing is a normal happening and if humans stay out of the
way ... things work out smoothly with no problems.
GOOD LUCK ..
the above is what works for me without any problems

| I check their vulva. Just like cattle it gets bigger. I try to leave mine in an environment that they are accustomed to, which means the pasture. I don't stand around and watch. As a matter of fact, I had a neighbor checking one mare while I was at school. I told him if it looked like she was foaling to go home and have a cup of coffee then come back. I leave the alone. |

So was that update a false alarm? today is the 25th and no update of gender of said foal. so is she still in foal??
It was. She was faking lol j/k. Vet said what we thought was labor was her just getting baby positioned and ready. I turn her out by her self at daylight and back in her “maternity ward” at night. |

Whaaat?? No..
Now thats a new one I have never heard, but it is a funny one, lol..I did have to laugh at this  |
