my mare is 349 days well she is scraping the ground and throwing her head back is this a sign that she is getting ready to foal or is something wrong....... im so worried and excited this is my first time please tell me she is going in labor.........i prayyyyyyyyy
what do you mean by "scraping the ground and throwing her head back"? (while laying down, standing?) I guess I am confused as to what you are describing. could you explain the above as well as all her signs...belly shape, tail, how it looks how its carried, udder...etc. Oh BTW I see you are an arabian lover...me too, had my dream of a buckskin quarab colt born almost 13 days ago after 355 days.
awesomeeeeee kris i bet he is beautiful..... well she is ready to gooo her utter has been full for the last 2months her teats are very full her tail is very relaxed and jelly like, belly she has definitely dropped poor thang she is huge, what i meant when i said scraping the ground she was taking her hoof and scraping the ground like pawing it then just like moving her head up real high suddenly like a fly was bothering her or something but this was more suddenly like she was having contractions or something was bothering her she was standing when she was doing that well now she is eating like nothing ever happens but will bite her sides at times so im assuming she is getting ready i just kind of freaked out earlier typical me lol
yeah i would say she is getting ready...mine did that type of stuff about 3 days before, she would also scrape her eyes on her legs and twirl her tail, and stretch her neck out. the day she foaled she rolled a lot, not like in a row, just 4-5 times in a 4-5 hour time, normally she would roll once. she also looked to the barn and walked around a lot not doing too much, just did not stand still. a few hours before foaling she became agitated, biting things, whipping her head as if flies were bugging her, tail goin nuts, holding up a hind leg, stomping. does she have milk? (have you milked her to check the colorof the milk?) well hopefully it will be soon...i can sympathise with all still waiting! oh here is my baby!
