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)

[Disasterpiece]

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?

[Pixel]

Crossed posts! Thanks for that, they are gorgeous aren't they.

[Disasterpiece]

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

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

[Disasterpiece]

Oh its just gone really light in her stable.

[Pixel]

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!

Another one foaling here.

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.

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]

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

[Disasterpiece]

i think shes gone out to stretch her legs

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

[cookielove]

the other horse seems like something may be happening

[Disasterpiece]

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]

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

[Disasterpiece]

A poo?

[cookielove]

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

[Disasterpiece]

Shes stood in the corner eating/drinking...

[Disasterpiece]

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]

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

[cookielove]

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]

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

[Disasterpiece]

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

[Pixel]

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

[Disasterpiece]

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.
