Dizzy is my Arabian mare and this is her foaling diary!
I hope this helps with anyone who doesn't know when their horse is due to foal.
Best movements at 5:39 and 7:05 mins
7 MONTHS- 16/06/17- First sign of movement with little flutters and ripples.
1:05 mins 9 MONTHS- 05/08/17- Movements become bigger throughout the month, we could now see proper kicks.
7:39 mins 10 MONTHS- 16/09/17- First movement seen in the rump area.
8:12 mins 11 MONTHS- 16/10/17- Movement is slower and can see parts of the foal move across her stomach.
Friday 27/10/17 Small honey coloured wax.
Saturday 28/10/17 Normal behaviour until 2am when she started being restless which carried on throughout the day on/off.
Sunday 29/10/17 She became increasingly restless throughout the day.
11:20am- Milky wax formed while we were there in the morning.
3:37pm- Milky colour turned to honey coloured wax and liquid.
2 mins later- First drop of milk to appear.
6:36pm- She was dripping milk on/off through the afternoon so we began to collect it.
That night she was in labour for 5 mins and gave birth to a big colt at 9:25pm with no assistance from us apart from pulling the sack away from his mouth so he could breathe.
