Ohhh that's what she's doing! I was watching it thinking what the heck is going on? Grin

Yes, while its still light you may be able to see another horses nose poking over his/her stable door.

Its at a right angle to the left of her back wall.

AmyStake · 06/07/2011 20:33

Shock Did you just see that?!

Disasterpiece · 06/07/2011 20:39

What? I went for a wee. What did I miss?

AmyStake · 06/07/2011 20:45

The foal made a HUGE movement, Queenie jumped out of her skin! Very cute :)

Disasterpiece · 06/07/2011 23:05

She was lying down last week. I got thoroughly excited and stayed up watching for ages. Then she went back to her corner, grr!

currently facing head towards the camera anyway - would she give birth standing up or lying down do you think?

Disasterpiece · 06/07/2011 23:12

Probably lay down. If she was about to have the foal she would look a bit more uncomfortable, she would probably be flat out too.

One I watched the other week was lying down when she gave birth, but was very fidgety beforehand, getting up/lying down/rolling over etc. Queenie looks very relaxed as usual Grin.

she is proper chilled isnt she.

I bet the foal just slides out one night and she barely notices.

piprabbit · 06/07/2011 23:19

Oooh - lying on her side now...

Honeydragon · 06/07/2011 23:19

I refuse to get excited again....I need to go to bed, I stated up last time till she stood up again.

Disasterpiece · 06/07/2011 23:28

ooh ooh she just had a good nose at her tummy then went flat out!

Disasterpiece · 06/07/2011 23:33

Awww so sweet, while she is lay flat out you can see when she opens her eyes, they look like little diamonds on her face because of the infra red camera.
