17 if i remember correctly . Yes I hope so too as I know a lady whos mini has a laminitic episode in the late stage of pregnancy . She had to stop breeding her due to this.

Anyone else have this issue with their pregnant ladies ?

yes, I had this issue with K-La in late 2015 while pregnant with Blitzen.  Cleared almost immediately after she foaled.  There were days she wouldn't move away from the hay bale and others she wouldn't move away from the water tank once there...  We took her off of all alfalfa pellets at the time, but didn't reduce her feed as we felt it was necessary.  We DID go to checking her hooves every time the farrier came out and sometimes doing a little each time - but due to weather and health issues sometimes it was spread apart and sometimes more often...  W/I hours of having Blitzen she was extending her trot and cantering & bucking around the pasture with her foal.  Her feed was increased and she was put back on alfalfa pellets, too.

Hope you are all ok during these storms Carly, I hear they are pretty bad , just saw on the news people have been told to stay indoors 

[Ryan]

How is willow after the storms ? hope your all ok

[Carly Rae]

We are all good, no damage from the storms. Although our back yard flooded and my poor silkie chickens and my baby chicks almost drowned! We had to rescue them at 9 at night. So all 14 chickens spent the night on our deck. Their pen is still flooded.

But my old Willow is still hanging in there, I cant wait for this foal!

This was the morning after it flooded, it had actually soaked in heaps over night and it was all the way up to the rocks. And the pen is over near the trees, we had to carry their whole massive nesting box up which is like a TV cabinet thing haha.

Glad to hear you are all ok
