hope this works]]

Queenie is looking agitated!!

shes asleep now.

hmm well i am not up with horsey measurements, but the foal must've come up to my shoulder easily and I am 5' 8

Well she looks awake to me

maybe even bigger.... this is at the same place we saw ours, but not the same foal (was last year)

bbc vid of HUGE foal

Definitely awake .

Yep, awake again.

She seems to go for a drink mooch about at the front for a bit, stand in the middle looking agitated and unsettled then stand in the back left corner facing forwards and doze off.

*repeat every 5 minutes.

wish I could see :(

was up All Night earlier in week, watching her snooze, it was very frustrating

the important thing is to stop wondering whether I could have a Suffolk punch or not, absolutely love them, definitely in my top 5 favourite breeds

did anyone here know Remus from the Museum of East Anglian Life? He was supposed to be the oldest in the WORLD. Miss him :(

Wow that link said the sf mare was pregnant for 12 months and 6 days.

Imagine being overdue by 5 weeks

Ahhh Remus has a fan club

28 was a good age for such a big boy.

My mums arab x tb got to the grand old age of 32. We always joked she would be mucking him out well in to her pension.

See back in her corner for a snooze now.

Someone is in with her looks like shes checking heartbeat of both of them.

Aww, woman checked her over, stroked her face, kissed her fore head then left. Nice to see she is well loved.

annoyed, can't SEE on iPad

grrrrrrrrr

do you think tonight is the night?

I odnt know, she doesnt look any different than she has done on previous nights.

Shes just mooching around the floor now.

The website says her grooms think another 2-3 days yet.

good god! that poor piggy has a belly full of piglets by the looks of it...it was touching the floor when she was walking a second ago!

Queenies due date today.

Still nothing to report, no foal yet and shes looking quite relaxed dozing in her corner.

She just did a really big stretch a minute ago, you know the one where they arch their neck and stretch out a back foot. It looked satisfying

She was pacing around a bit earlier and I got all excited but then she just went back to sleep. She does seem to like her corner!

I've never posted in here, but thankyou for making me obsessively watch a horse walk back and forth

do horses labour standing up or lying down?

Lay down on their side.

Still Off-air as electrical storms have knocked out webcam.

We've just had an amazing storm here, sun has finally come out again but we've had lightning, torrential rain and thunder so loud it was making my car rock! It's been making the lights flicker so I suppose it would affect a webcam.

Oh Queenie's back! Her belly is doing a weird wibbly-wobbly thing, baby must be restless.
