Damn, and I went to bed at last just two and a half hours before the grand event! Lovely foal, innit?

ETA: That mare at Maple Creek Arabians might be about to pop; today she’s got a halter and tail wrap on, and a person was just in checking her udders.

Ha! Today’s Tweets for Elements Arabians:

> The RACE is on! Rosie has been moved to Cam 1 with BIG wax and cow-pies! Magic on Cam 2 with wax and cow-pies!

ETA: The mare on cam 1 is lying down (but not flat) and just looked at her side.

ETA2: The mare at Maple Creek has a stall-cleaning human and a barn cat in with her right now.

I have the two Elements mares and LaDeDa and her filly up on my monitor today. I was lucky catching LaDeDa’s delivery - I just happened to check on them as I was getting ready for work, and it was in progress. Somewhat difficult delivery, it looked like, as the attendant was doing a lot of hard pulling. Big filly, according to the forum.

Mare Stare board says of Tiya at Maple Creek that she’s dripping milk. Today I was able to make out a foal in with the mare in the stall adjoining hers at the top of the screen. Tiya, the board says, is a maiden mare.

Awwwwwwwwwww… her human spent a while after stall cleaning schmoozing face to face with Tiya; now she’s reaching through the bars to skritch Tiya’s butt.

Alert: The mare on Elements cam 1, Rosie, just stretched out flat, then rolled back sternal and looked at her flank, now is lying sternal.

Jadzia on cam 2 is having a barn cat visit.

Actually, I think that’s Magic on Cam 2. I guess they thought she was going to go first. She has a very agitated tail at times, and she’s dripping milk.

New page, old (with some new) list of cams:

[Pacific Pintos](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=pacificpintos) – currently only three cams working

[Now Rosie on cam 1](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=elements) at Elements Arabians – [here’s a link to their foal watch page](http://www.elementsarabians.com/2010fw.html) and on [cam 2](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=elements2) is Magic, not Jadzia

[True Colours – empty but on, and the Mare Stare board indicates they have another mare due](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=truecolours)

[Centaur Farms](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=centaur) – empty currently but Double Freeze was in there last night, tail not wrapped.

[It’s the Mandy and Barry show!](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=unbridled)

[LaDeDa at Silver Creek](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=silvercreek)

[Athena at Silver Creek](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=silvercreektwo)

[Maple Creek Arabians](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=maplecreek)– whose tail is now wrapped

New to list:

[El Bee at M&M Quarter Horses](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=mmquarter)

[Bowman Ranch](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=bowmanranch) – an overhead shot, not the best; appears to be a buckskin.

So, have I missed anyone?

Oh! Remember the folks who got us started on all this? Well, they’ve got [another mare on camera now.](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=witts) Tweet from 11 hours ago: “Dream has very loose poops and has a very full bag. I am not positive but I think she is getting close. Please call if you see anything.”

ETA: Awwww, every mare with foal I just checked – foal flat out asleep, mom standing guard over it.

Thanks, you’re right – I just corrected that in my cam list.

They’re putting bedding down in Rosie’s stall at Elements now. Still no tail wrap (yet).

I’ve been a doper for over 10 years. This is by far the most successful thread I’ve ever had.

I’m de-fragging my hard drive to see if that will speed things up on my home computer. It may be time for a new machine, although it was working just fine until last week.

Magic, across the aisle, is watching with much interest.

I’d better go out now and get my horse and other chores out of the way so I don’t miss it if Rosie goes this afternoon.

Last week, according to Joanne at Pacific Pintos, is when Mare Stare changed their operating system, so perhaps your problems with cam-watching aren’t on your end after all.

Firefox. I just checked IE on my Win7 computer (this one is XP) and the cams work for me in that also.

Yes, and see my post number 967 (!!!) for that and all the other links.

Rosie’s up now and her tail still isn’t wrapped. She and Magic, across the aisle from her, both have their heads out in the aisle.

I plan to keep an eye on them plus Tiya at Maple Creek.

Sorry! I checked that post and somehow overlooked the Rosie one. You’ve been great about keeping the links current, **ETF!**

I’ve been watching all three of these girls, too - and I wouldn’t be surprised if all of them foal before the night is done!
