This is the other away mob, with Tex (the stallion) and the 3 mares that are in foal to him (all due in Dec). Devon and Tex are best mates and hang around together a lot of the time, and Flute & Tuppy tend to spend a bit of time together. They are all doing well, and the girls are growing nice baby tummies. I find it interesting how they all hold their babies differently. Flute doesn't look that heavily in foal and she is due first, on the 7th of Dec. She is quite a roomy mare and she doesn't particularly stick out or down a lot, just a bit of each. Devon looks like she has triplets on board and she is due last of the 3, on the 24th of Dec. She carries high and VERY round and sticky outy (it's a proper description, really lol). Then there is Tuppy, she's due on the 17th of Dec. The 2 foals that I have bred from her where both 2 weeks early, so if she keeps to that, she'll foal before Flute, but time will tell. But, to the way she carries her foal, she goes down a lot and out a bit. All different! I shifted them to the next paddock and that earned a yehah hoon, and then to the serious business of head down and eating ha ha ha. I think that they might have enough grass there!!!
