Hi all!

Well, the waiting game is on.  My mare Paanache is due at the end of April, 
but I swear I think she'll go earlier.  This is her first foal, but she is 
already bagging up and dripping colostrum (I think).  It is yellowish sticky 
stuff right - at least that's how I remember it to be in humans.  Bless her 
heart she just stands there eating her hay and groaning.  Man do I remember 
that feeling.

Here's a question for all those who have experience in breeding.  How many 
have had maiden mares foal early/late/on time?  I know that every horse is 
different, as is every foaling experience.

The anticipation is just killing me!  I'm going to start sleeping in the 
barn this weekend I think.  Does anyone have any suggestions about how to 
ensure that you actually witness the birth?  You guys can email me privately 
if you want, as I know that this subject has been belabored in the recent 
past.

Thanks.
