That was not true waxing. She likely leaked a little from laying down or moving her back legs. True wax, starts a little, can fall off and then come back again and again. Not all mares are alike. My last mare that foaled did not wax at all. But most of the time they do and it is wet looking as it progresses.
lockedhearts i beg to differ. what twitch has IS wax. i do know the difference. i can wipe it off and come back 20 mins later when she hasnt laid down at all its back. i have had 3 different people (my vet included) confirm its wax. i have heard of many mares waxing off and on for weeks.
twitch is STILL waxing. she has been butt rubbing a lot today. she is a little different today. i feel her milk could get sweeter, but that could happen fast! her teats look shiny today also
Maybe Small ones are different, but in my 25+ years of foaling out mares, I have never had one wax for weeks.
