You didn't miss a thing last night. Knobby called me a very degrading name a while back on a different thread. Just waiting for the word s*rry from him in public is all. Wink Edited to add: He did however say the s word to me in private on a pm. Wink

I was hoping that I missed the birth last night (as a watched pot never boils sort of thing), that didn't work either. Confused

Try giving her orange juice and castor oil - failing that I have heard that excitement of a certain kind is a very good way to bring on labour! Wink

I have come to the conclusion that the mare just has to be fat, with a lot of gas...to make her tummy move around so much. Confused

Me too! Straight here. Oh look, more posts. Has she? Smile Has she?? Very Happy ..... no Sad

Okay, for everyone's sake could you go and ask her very nicely from all her virtual friends if we can have a baby horse soon - or (your 2nd theory) put her on a diet Laughing

the baby is obviously too comfortable in there, and doesn't want to come out into the real world..that's just because she doesn't know you're waiting to look after her as well as her mom

I must admit...maybe Tippy is holding off, cause she is enjoying all of the attention and hands on care. She gets groomed probably twice a day, massaged on her lower back and tummy area, and gets special food additives. It's gotta be the attention....she just doesn't want it to stop. Confused

Debs

How much longer before you have to consider some kind of intervention? I think all this waiting would drive me mad.
