Twitch is a 6 year old Miniature grey mare. her name is twitch for a reason.. she has a 'twitch' from an injury she got as a foal. she normally only does it when she carries her head high which she only does when she is nervous! she isnt happy about being in.. but im hoping she settles down soon. she is a pretty little mare and i think she is pretty close. she has REALLY sticky milk, has NO resistance to her tail and is very red in her whoohaa. also has cow pies for poo.

*please* understand i know nothing about this mare and i need extra eyes on her if i can!! this is another mare that i inhereted from grettle.
as always if there is anything that seems amiss, PLEASE call!! i would rather have a false alarm than no alarm at all!

I have never seen a horse foal so I'm really excited to see one!

Shadow - thanks for redirecting the post!!


BTW - has she ever "foaled" before - if that's the correct term? I know you said you have no information on her, but wasn't sure if she had any idea what was going on. Good luck again!!

Twitch is back in! her milk is even stickier!!

things to watch for....

'butt tucks' kinda looks like they are squating to pee, only its usually a really qick squat

mushy poo- twitch still has mushy poo!!

Pacing, pawing

laying down and getting up multiple times...


Fleming (lifting her lip a sign of pain)

when she is ready to push she will lay down on her side.. and stiffen her legs sparadocally.

also obviously, as whiteish bubble coming from her whoohaa!! ( if you see her pushing or the bubble and im not in the stall, CALL ME!!!)

thanks for watching
