 I am stretched out on the back seat of my truck keeping an eye on Holly Bars Reward. At 9:30 tonigh, she was getting a little restless. I started getting things ready at that point. I believe she is going to foal before daylight tomorrow. I wanted to be nearby when Holly foals, so I am in my truck, waiting for the big event.

Holly is outside in a round pen by herself. That is where I've kept her since I brought her home. She was in foal and the other horses were trying to establish a pecking order that was above her. She was getting bit, hide taken off, so I had to seperate her to keep her and her unborn foal safe.

Holly was barely showing wax on one teat earlier today. Her udder is engorged. I tried to braid her tail to keep it out of the way.

Oh! There she goes! She just laid down for the first time. She's getting uncomfortable. Gosh, it may happen sooner than I thought!
