China’s just a regular little poop machine isn’t she? ---

Maybe it’s like pregnant women who urinate all the time - they just don’t have the capacity to hold it with the baby taking up so much room. She sure is fuzzy, isn’t she? StG ---

Still no baby; still more poop. ---

Ha! China’s big food tub has been moved from its corner partway down the long side of the stall. Her poop zone has moved down accordingly. 😉 Still no baby, and no sign of popping one out. ---

How can a miniature horse poo more than a full sized? ---

Hey, I think we have a new mare in the [foaling stall](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=centaur) at Centaur Farms! I clicked in just in time to see a mare being led in that has a white hind sock and a star, which would appear to be [Sarenia](http://www.centaurfarms.com/mares.html) (second from top). Taking a look at their foals for sale page, it would appear that high quality foals still sell quite well. As to China, dear little China – still no baby. When I first clicked in her feed tub (almost as big as she is) was partway down the long wall. I clicked away, then back again several minutes later, and it was back in the corner, with a bare patch of floor where it had been (and plenty of poop). I think she’s slinging it around to amuse herself. ---

Yes, you’re right, Sarenia is in the stall now. They updated their Twitter feed to say that Sarenia was due on March 22. Just what I need, another one to watch! ---

They updated the Twitter feed for China, too - apparently the owner is getting worried about her taking so long. I guess we’re not the only ones getting impatient! ---

They’re probably tired of the never-ending poop! ---

Poor people – I understand minis can have dangerous difficulties in foaling,so no wonder they’re worried. So you don’t have to click back to page 4 – [her foalcam link](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=pacificpintos). ETA: Stall’s been picked. ---

Hmmm…they don’t have Serenia’s tail wrapped. They must not expect her to go soon, even though they say her due date was 2 days ago. StG ---

Yes, I noticed that too. At the moment she’s lying down, fast asleep, tail still unwrapped. Latest note on China’s page: “China has waxed… Yeah! [3 hours ago]” ---

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO China’s getting groomed! Looks like a shedding blade is at work. That’s a whole lotta belly to rake. 😉 ETA: Ha! Hu-mom stopped to take a cellphone call and China got annoyed at being neglected! ---

Oh, nice, now China’s getting her tail combed out. While eating a bit of grain. That is a very happy mini-horse right now. Standing quite politely for the rebraiding even though she’s loose. ---
