Horse Games and Lessons - Horse Fun Games and Tips: "I stated in another article that at some point the training of a horse is finished and from then on we are talking about managing the performance and behavior. Well, there is one exemption to this rule. This exemption is to strive for excellence."

Birthing Clues
There is no set time table, however the mare does give us a few clues that let us know that the arrival is near. Milk fills the mare's udder approximately 2 to 4 weeks and the teat become engorged 4 to 6 days prior to the event. The tail head may become more prominent within a few days of the foaling event and the vulva and croup muscles seemed more relaxed. Within 1 to 4 days the teats may or may not 'wax over'. Colostrum (yellow, honey colored secretion) usually appears 1 to 4 days prior to birth of the foal.
The udders may actually drip several days before foaling so keep a close eye on your mare if you want to be present at foaling time. As the time gets nearer the mare becomes restless and may appear anxious. She may also appear to be colicky as she gets up and lie's down frequently. The mare may bite at her flanks, and will become very sweaty. She will appear to raise her tail and urinate often, this is usually the first stages of labor. The birth is eminent! Colic may still be a possibility and if her behaviour is prolonged for more than 1 to 2 hours and no foaling has begun, contact you veterinarian immediately for his/ her advice. More often than not everything goes as planned with nothing to fear, remember this, horses have been giving birth long before we ever arrived on the scene. So take a breath, relax and happy foaling!

It was long overdue, but better late than never?
Yes, it was LONG ago I wrote here last. It is moving forward with the horses, but some things happen all the time. Now we have a hovböld of Belle, she has been put in plaster package for nearly two weeks. This has also meant a visit this week of Hoof care in Kristianstad. Expensive, time consuming and hard work for both body and soul. Cloetta has been without his medicine really long now. There must be at least one month, if not almost two? We lost count of how time is passing to the final!
You can see now when you're free to actually get really tired of all this around the horses. To always plan and think and perhaps above all, wonder how the money is enough than the one than the other. It is, as I said, tight copyright laws visit, hay all summer, special to Cloetta, clinic visits, fix up the shipment (which we bought for it would be very travel now), construction of gravel paddock etc etc etc. In addition, the car trouble much throughout the spring, so the money could go to the horses extra expenditure has been put to the automotive repair instead. Tax money will probably go to full general overhaul of the brakes, rear ... SIGH!
But it turns well - at some time or what??
