Location: PA | MINE! She's at 336 days. She's been bagged up since the beginning of March. She even started waxing the beginning of march for about 2 weeks....which caused us to panic a bit....but since then nothing...she's gladly holding my baby hostage! Grr....
I can't post pics from my work computer or I would.... |

| They'll be worth the wait, my mare went 366 days. I thought it was just going to come out looking like a yearling. Everything was fine though, some of them just take a little longer to bake. Good luck and I cant wait to see baby pics!!

Location: California | I'm so jealous! I just bred my mare last week. Scheduled for a pregnancy check on the 14th. She's a 16yr maiden mare. I've had her since she was 3 & been dying for a foal from her ever since. Fingers crossed it worked! She didn't take the first time bred...  |

Maybe she's taking extra time to get them just right! 
That, and she LOVES sleeping in her sawdust/straw nest that C makes for her every night.... not much incentive to hurry things along. |

Location: Missouri | Maybe tonight! 
But probably not.
On a side note, I have run out of straw (since I thought she was going to foal last week!) and there is no more to be found! Any ideas on bedding? I've been reading online that some people use hay??? Would you consider that? My neighbor has offerend me some older (but clean) brome bales.

I use shavings. Never had a problem. |

My vet said shavings can be used also. She just recommeneded the big ones...not the small fine shavings.
I use straw, and HATE IT! LOATHE IT! But I won't switch until all the straw is gone...once it is, i'm switching to shavings... |

Location: Missouri | Thanks for the bedding advice. I hate cleaning the straw and *thought* I was waiting to the last minute to put it in... but we see how that turned out! haha! Good news is I found more in a nearby town, so I won't have to keep picking through it.
Hope this is the night for yours, BRcwgrl81! Keep us updated!
I was watching mine on camera most of the night. She was up and down and still nothing...
