GUESS WHAT????

she is in the corner

Now she's scratching her arse on the wall. Again.

I bet she's just fat. They'll wait until nobody's watching and shove a wet foal in with her

yeah, there will be an ad break and when it comes back.... ta daa! she had it

I meant to ask, I watched the video with Emma and Queenie today, they said she was AI'd. Why would she be AI'd and not have mated with a stallion? Is it dangerous? (I imagine it might be with a Suffolk Punch stallion!)

Phew not missed anything then (apart from bum scratching and sleeping)

Just got my own lovely laptop back.

MN is a millions times faster now!

260 people are also spending their Friday night watching Queenie not have a foal.

I just read 260 people watching, and thought oh my god i missed it, so quickly went on to have a look, and it came on then went black, i came back here and read the rest of what you wrote. I actually panicked THIS IS TAKING OVER MY LIFE eek

Shes flat out now.

I just told DP to look quickly, he stared blankly and didnt know what he was supposed to be looking at.

Apparently a horse snoozing flat out isnt that big an excitement to others.

She looks so lovely lying down, I'd like to snuggle up with her (DH out tonight - lonesome!)

She is so gorgeous. My pony when I was a kid used to have those lovely bay dapples in the summer too. So nice.

She's looking very "hippy" this evening.

But she's still in the corner scratching her arse on the wall.

Pixel I'm contacting Trade Descriptions about your thread title.

This birth is more eagerly awaited than the Beckham baby!

I'm betting after all this she'll have the foal outside to spite us.

Why are they not showing the pigs during the day any more? It's been Queenie's empty stable for the past two days.

I know! Can you imagine how annoyed we will all be if she just waltzes in to her stable one day and her foal just follows her in!

if she does that there will be a lot of faces on this thread

i will not be happy

You can't blame me! Blame my sister, she sent me the link and this is what she wrote :-
"here is the link to watch Queenie the Shire horse have her foal. By the way she is acting, I think she might be having it. How exciting!"

And that was weeks ago

Ha ha, what does your sister say now??

Nothing, she's on a cruise.

Well I expect she's saying something, just not about Queenie and not to me. She's probably ordering another fancy drink with a brolly in it.

grrrrrr thats not fair

I think Queenies in labour! I'm sure i've just caught a glimpse of foal. Please don't shout at me if i'm wrong,

ok i am watching now, but i have seen her like this alot before
