Is tonight the night? On foal watch again ...

Well this is Maude's udder at around 9pm tonight - Here is hoping for a safe uneventful birth overnight ...

Ears and Ali on their way home

I said good bye to dear old Ears again today. Not sure if I will see her again as she is 20 years old this year and in foal with probably her last. Her home is now in Tauranga and she and her paddock mate Ali are both in foal to Hamish and due in October. Ali decided that she really did not want to leave Hamish so stood on her hind legs and waved her front legs in the air a bit when Kay and Pete showed her the float. After she had spent some time taking the p*ss out of them, Nick and I stepped in and 'gave her the bash' (not literally of course! LOL!) and she fair leapt in within about 15 minutes. Silly girl. They apparently travelled well and arrived home safely this evening. Now we wait for the babies to arrive.

On foal watch again (Maude)

Finally Maude is starting to look close so the alarm is on and she is parked in the front paddock by the bedroom. Knowing the horses this year, she will hang on for another fortnight but as she was at 342 days on Jan 20th, I REALLY hope not!!!

And I included this pic of Finn, just coz it's cute!
