Déjà vu………..

Here we are again anticipating the safe arrival of Redhearts 5th foal!

Peyres Catori Cat is 330 days into her gestation today, although we use 340 days as her “due date” being an average of the average range of 320 – 365 days, we are not expecting her to actually give birth on her due date although that would be appreciated.

The foaling date is decided by the foal, dictating when they are sufficiently developed and ready to be born not by the calendar in the kitchen. At Redheart’s we have experience the earliest delivery at 327 days and the latest being 354 days.

At the present time she continues to be calm and content, looking forward to going out in the mornings and waiting to come in at night…..she seems so very normal in her character but we are seeing a few changes physically.

These broodmares certainly don’t make it easy for us to predict exactly when they are going too foal. The anxiety and sleepless nights are soon forgiven once the new-born has safely arrived, with the desired  “colour & spots” or  NOT?

I am sure I have been here before……….
