Sarenia’s cam is now switching back and forth between her an another mare. The poor quality and constant switching make it unwatchable. ---

My favorite is [Mandy](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=unbridled). Great quality and a great enclosure. She’s at about 364 days gestation, so it should be any time (I hope). ---

Sarenia’s either weaving or rubbing her tail. Hard to see since she’s at the bottom of the screen, only partially visible. ---

Mandy is down. Think it means anything? ---

No, she looks too comfortable; she’s just resting, probably dozing, may stretch out flat on her side in a bit for a good sleep. ---

Mandy is from Unbridled Animal Rescue. I wonder if she came to them already pregnant. It seems sort of irresponsible to be breeding rescued animals. ---

Mandy seems like a really sweet girl. You can tell she has lots of personality. She’s laying down right now but I think it’s just for a rest. ---

Darn, I already did. Once on the site I didn’t click any links though. As soon as I saw a link for “remembering our 3 legged hero”, I started mashing the X to get the heck out of there. I’ll do a scan when I go to bed and see if anything got through. ---

I found a forum for Mandy on the marestare site, and it seems that they got her in January when she was pretty far along. She’s a registered quarter horse and is around 20 years old and has already had a number of foals. ---

She’s a registered quarter horse and is around 20 years old and has already had a number of foals. Poor thing, imagine needing to be rescued when you’re pregnant. I think of all domesticated animals, horses often get the worst deal. > [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > I ran a full scan and even though I got out of the site fast, I still found three trojans had slipped through. They’re quarantined now, but :mad: I did a scan and nothing got through, fortunately. I just went through having a pretty bad virus and 34 trojans. ---

Whoa! Mandy’s standing close to the camera, near side to – and it looks to me as if her near-side ear is misshapen. ETA: China’s getting her stall cleaned. ---

When Mandy was standing so close, I’m sure I saw some movement coming from the baby. I saw sort of a ripple go down her side. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riVC7AmT3dQ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riVC7AmT3dQ) Here’s a video of the birth of a baby at China’s place. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6pJIbAN95Y](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6pJIbAN95Y) And here she is a few days later. 🙂 ---

I wonder what’s up with China? A large chunk of her stall’s been cleaned entirely and lime sprinkled down, and she’s nowhere to be seen. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > I wonder what’s up with China? A large chunk of her stall’s been cleaned entirely and lime sprinkled down, and she’s nowhere to be seen. Yeah I was wondering the same thing as well. So I went to their site to see if I could find anything. ---

And it doesn’t say anything, does it? They do have one foal on the ground, but it’s from another mare. Just checked; stall’s still empty. I sure hope it’s nothing more than taking the poor little girl out for a nice long waddle in the spring grass. ---

I just emailed them this: > [@](#): > > Hi there! > > Several of my friends and I have been keeping vigil over China for a number of days now, and we’re hoping that she’s all right, and that her stall being partially stripped and empy of her is nothing to worry about. We’ve all become quite fond of the little girl who gets such amusement from pushing her feed tub around! ---
