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?

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 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 (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.
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.
What does “waxed” mean?
Oooooh look! China’s stall is poopy again.
Every time I check on China, there’s a new poo!
FloatyGimpy - They go frm leaking milk to developing a waxy coating on their teats (maybe to keep in the colustrum?) shortly before they deliver.

Ohhh, very interesting! I’ve never heard of that.
