Cocoa is now on cam!

Her cam: http://www.marestare.com/cam.php?alias=cheyaut

Her thread on marestare (where I'll post updates all the time): http://latigo.marestare.com/forum/index.php?topic=18684.0

I will try to update here as well, but marestare gets the first updates and usually gets more, so check there :)

Now that I have a little more time....

Photos of Cocoa (HRK Kates Chocolat Creme de Coco), silver buckskin dun Ee Aa Zn Crn AMHA/AMHR 33" mare, this will be her second foal:

In foal to our National Top Ten, Spin (VFG El Arlequin), black leopard appy Ee aa AMHA/AMHR/FBR 33" stallion:

Just for fun, here is Cocoa's foal from last year, Sierra (CheyAuts Perfect Attraction). Obviously different sire ;)

Cam is off for the day, I will turn it back on once she's settled into her stall for the night before I go to work.

OK Jesse I'm guessing she is going to have a buckskin blanket app with four white stockings and white on her face and at least one blue eye.

Jessi,  What is is with your mares hiding in that stinkin' dark corner?!?

Amber, I'll be thrilled if you're right :)

Buckskin, I know! sheesh! And I can't really adjust the cam, the thingy is so dang touchy, if I try it just "falls down" and is looking upside down at the stall next to hers! UGH! LOL

No real reports, hangin' in there! Not yet dropped, not yet have a full udder... so we wait! Last year she went 347 days. Today (it's Thursday here) she's at day 319.

I forgot to add that it is going to be a filly

So I get joint custody if I'm right dont I?

I'm watching her right now and she looks like she swallowed one of your carts, LOL.  You might have to name the baby Cheyauts Wide Load!

^^^LOL!!!! :)

We definately need the wide load sign....

I've been keeping up with the pics on the Marestare forum.  LOL about Photobucket deleting your udder shots.  They think you are publishing horsey porn!

LOL Yup, that's me, horsey porn photographer! LOL ;)

I would bet money Cocoa will foal tonight or tomarrow night!

Her udder is even fuller than yesterday, it really couldn't get any fuller... TONS of edema in front of it as well. Belly is lower, I got sticky milk! (not super glue sticky yet, but sticky nonetheless!). Super jello butt. Her tail still has resistance but that will change soon enough I'm sure!

Cam will be on 24/7 now, except that I have to restart it daily or it drops the cam. So if the cam goes down, wait 5 mins and try again.

Of course, I start work tonight And there's a long story about work lately, but pretty much I can't leave. Unless there is an emergency of course. But Craig is home all except 2 hours that I'm gone. Those two hours of course are dangerous, but luckily it's early morning, not when I would think she'd foal. And if she's acting odd before he leaves, he'll just have to call in late!

All my live foals (vs abortions) have been between 11pm and midnight. Half have been on a Tuesday night, including her last year. So, we'll see what happens this time!

Oh last year... no one really noticed her acting in labor (she had acted odd for the last few nights before, which we did notice, but not right AT labor) until she was down and her belly was "bouncing" so she might be tricky!

SHE FOALED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A FILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope not yet! ideas?

Someone got it recorded!

I think her name should have Mocha in it somewhere,  maybe  Cheyaut's Mocha Latte?
