I’m just in love with that baby, she’s just unbelievably cute, sleeping in her little tartan coat.

Her tail is always flopping around like a baby elephants trunk.

To my completely untrained eye, she looks like she might be in labour now.

The feed on this one isn’t nearly as good as the feed from Witt’s. Hoping to see some action tonight! This is addictive.

Is it normal for Shezza and Kristy to be kept in the stall and not let out?

**FloatyGimpy** - I don’t know. But she doesn’t seem restless, and the stall is clean. Maybe she’s in because the weather’s been bad. According to [weather.com](http://weather.com), it’s been raining and the temps have been below average.

ETA: Tia doesn’t seem anywhere near ready to pop.

Kristy sure is interested in what’s going on outside. Tia is still pregnant.,

Kristy experimented with Mom’s bucket in the foreground (water bucket?) and managed to get her head in, maybe even took a drink, although I think she had to stand on her tippy-hooves to do it.

She is way wicked cute all right.

But at 3:05 a.m. EDT she’s still not a-poppin’.

Why am I up so late? Editing photos of riders galloping on a local beach, got caught up in it and lost track of time. 😃

I am a Kristiholic.

How is Tia ever going to deliver that baby? It’ll be ready for a rider by the time it comes out.

If she’s way overdue will they do a c section? She’s bursting at the seams.

So, anyway, while we’re all sitting around tapping our feet and waiting for Tia, [here’s the Webshots album](http://good-times.webshots.com/album/577036091BSCGPC) I was working on last night.

Meanwhile, Tia’s moving around her stall, tail slightly elevated, but

Wait! Now her tail’s really up! Is it

Nope, just pooped. sigh…

Nice pics! I was thinking how beautiful and graceful the horses looked till I got to #21 and the horse is making a Cletus face.

She’s holding her tail up & to the right, and she seems restless… could this be it??

I’ve done it twice, and it is every bit as wonderful as you can imagine.

It helps, of course, to have a good beach horse – one who’s unfazed by the waves and the weird footing (It turns white when you step on it! Eek! My old Nick told me on his first trip to wet sand world) and the frolicking humans and dogs and the occasional kite zipping overhead; one who will happily gallop when asked but also happily slow down or stop when that’s the next request rather than succumbing to open-field-itis insanity. My two are both very good beach horses.

And I have no trailer, and no trailer-owning friend to beg a lift from. ☹
