I saw a mention on the forum but didn't manage to find a picture. (I stopped my subscription to H&H because I got fed up with it arriving late or not at all)

Looks like its safe to go and eat my lovely "cooked by DP on father Day" Sunday lunch.

If anyone spots anything happening could they please PM me?

I dont buy it, I flick through and look at the showing pictures in the supermarket then read the website Blush

Recently started looking at the fourm though, I go engrossed in the veterinary pictures thread last night. Very interesting.

Oh its just gone really light in her stable.

Pixel · 19/06/2011 17:06

Well I'll try, not sure I know how to!

DH has gone out to work so we will have our roast tomorrow. He did get a cooked brekkie though, which dcs 'helped' with. They didn't help with the clearing up funnily enough!

She doenst look very comfortable, shes twitching her tail a lot and biting at her tummy.

Arghhh! Don't show me any more! It's bad enough obsessively watching this one. I know for a fact that the second I tear myself away I will miss the whole thing. Grin

shire is still asleep

Tara is mooching but looking quite settled. She does have a nice thick bed but her stable is still quite small imo

MitchiestInge · 19/06/2011 18:55

iPad annoyingly won't display the webcam - probably don't need to start getting all broody over foals anyway :(

Disasterpiece · 20/06/2011 11:10

i think shes gone out to stretch her legs Smile

Either that or she is lay on the floor giving birth out of sight of the camera Grin

Disasterpiece · 20/06/2011 18:41

Nah shes gone back to sleep.

Shire still looks pretty fed up, I saw her foal kicking a minute ago, sometimes its difficult to see as the cameras are infra red and not too clear.

cookielove · 20/06/2011 18:58

The one called tara, def just shot something out, but it landed out of camara shot!!

Disasterpiece · 20/06/2011 19:00

A poo?

cookielove · 20/06/2011 19:02

Nooooo i swear it not, ooooh geez it looked all slippery and long and foal like Smile

Disasterpiece · 20/06/2011 19:05

Shes stood in the corner eating/drinking...

Disasterpiece · 20/06/2011 19:13

Go to the shire mare now, shes stood parallel to the camera, you can see her foal moving.

shes had her head down and strained a few times, looked as if she was having a poo/wee but nothing, wonder if shes getting closer?

Pixel · 20/06/2011 19:18

She does look like she's puffing a bit, even though she's just standing still.

Yes the shire one is doing all that, i am talking about the other link for Tarafoaling, she def had contractions her bum was infront of the camara and her tail was lifted and then it looked like something NOT POO came out, it was long, and looked very dark, to be honest i've not seen a horse give birth but i have seen one poo.

cookielove · 20/06/2011 19:20

Where her head is now, is where what i think is a foal landed?

Disasterpiece · 20/06/2011 19:20

ears are back, nostrils are flaring, maybe shes just pissed off that shes getting booted about by a baby shire! Grin

Pixel · 20/06/2011 19:23

Every time I look at Tara she's just calmly eating her bed.

OP posts:
Disasterpiece · 20/06/2011 19:32

neither of them have had their foal yet.

Tara was eating her tea, is now eating her bedding. the long, dark thing you saw come out of her bum will have been poo, or possibly a wee. she is in pitch black, her camera is infra red at the minute so it is hard top see much.

Shire is asleep. again.
