I brought the two miniature black mares in the barn and I am officially on Foal Watch until their babies come. Lucy's actual due date is April 1st and Mae's is April 13th, however, at this point they could safely come at any time.
I will be spending a couple of hours each evening with the "girls" --watching for changes in their behavior that signal that the foals are on their way down the birthing path..... hippity hopping all along the way.... wait a minute, right season, wrong song
This is pobably my favorite few weeks of the year -- I will take a big cup of hot coffee, a book and a blanket and sit with them read a page or two and pet a nose and watch the little one's bounce and jiggle thier mommma's belly. I will try to get some "belly" pics tonight and post them when I come back up.
Here is a pic of the girls at work -- I've posted this pic before, but..... I just love my Mae and Lucy!
