clh - Not sure, as she went and did it without me!! I separated her into a private paddock on Saturday night after determining that her mystery lumps were milk ducts that had filled. Sunday night, she was antsy at mealtime when she normally dives right into her feed bucket. Instead it was take a bite and pace, take a bite and pace, etc. She was a little sweaty as well. When I came out at 5:30 the next morning, instead of having one horse at the gate to greet me, I had two!! I missed the whole thing. This wonderful mare had her first baby all alone and did it perfectly....well, except for the retained placenta, but that worked out fine, too. Her dam is expecting as well and should drop right after the first of the year, so that will be the next baby news! Hopefully, I'll be able to be there for that one!
