The Freeland Gypsy Horses are in foal!! Click on the link and give it a minute to load the live stream cams. Jordan and Rosa are due this weekend. Karisma and Windsong are maidens and due within the next 2 weeks. If I see any thing happen I will post!

How exciting!! Boy those stalls are huge! Just looked at Rosa...she is just munching away on some hay!

 

[SallyQZ]

Oh no! These mare cams are addictive!! Every year I swear that I won't get sucked into watching them, then I end up spending all hours of the night keeping an eye on restless mares. It took 3 foaling seasons before I finally got to see one being born. Then I felt so involved in the process that I wanted to buy that colt!

 

[magni]

Very exciting

 

[KatherinesBirds]

WOW, this is addictive. Looks like they are about to pop!

 

[minirachie]

So addictive!

Is Karisma giving birth?! her rear end is just out of view...

ETA she looks a bit more relaxed now.

There is a website that streams a wide variety of barn cams - they have a chart showing the various horses due dates, then you can click on the cam for that specific mare as she gets close (or past) her due date. And they have mini's, gypsy's, friesians, you name it! The website is:

Mare Stare, LLC - Welcome!

Thanks Loree! Will check that out. Freeland cams you can click below the pic and it enlarges the cam. You can also click on Audio and here everything going on. At this point there is a lot of moaning and groaning from the girls.

 

[greymatron]

Wow...This is a really noob question...Are these Friesans or...?

 

[Greycloud]

Freeland's are Gypsy Vanner Horses.

 

[minirachie]

I only just found that out! ...thankyou for asking the question, and greycloud answering it!

 

[greymatron]

Oddly enough I've never heard of them...They are so beautiful!

 

[waterfaller1]

Oh no..not clinking that link again like last year! It murdalizes my firefox for some reason!! Did they fix it?

 

[Greycloud]

Carole I have not had any problems.

Jordan is showing 5 on her milk strips and her PH has dropped dramatically! She is a seasoned mare so today or tonight she will probably foal.

 

[Lauren and Jack]

Thats so exciting!!! and super cool!

 

[birdlvr466]

Jordan's tummy is looking awful big...poor girl, I bet she will be glad to get this baby born!

 

[Greycloud]

She has barely eaten all day. I bet sometime tonight!

 

[birdlvr466]

She has barely eaten all day. I bet sometime tonight!

She was eating some hay when I was watching her. I watched Secretariat last night and the foal was so cute when it was born. So this is your farm Judy? My husband and I love horses.
