Everybody asks about Mini-Mae. It seems she has been in foal for years. Although her udder has filled, she is not interested in delivering a mini-mini-baby any time soon. She was supposed to drop her foal before Mrs. M went home to Washington. This did not happen. She is fat, fat, fat!
So, when do you think the foal will be born? Check out the pictures and make your guess in the comments: 1) Date and 2) colt or filly? Whoever is the closest wins a fun Circle C flashlight keychain. In the event of a tie, I will do a random drawing. Don’t forget to include your first name! (Yes, I know it might get complicated, like “right date but wrong gender” or “wrong gender but closest to the date,” etc. I’ll work it out and maybe have to do a drawing or something.
Also “4 or 5 days from now” is not a valid guess.
Earlier this winter, Mini-Mae had her beautiful silver dapple coloring (winter coat). Yes, she has been pregnant since we got her back in late November (even felt movement). That is a clue for her delivery date. Yeah, right.
Now? Boring brown is the color of the last two months. And yes, this is the very same mini-pony! She is so ready to POP! And so not as pretty as she was last winter. The silver is gone and all you can see are dark “dapples” against boring brown.
But they are checking her every day!
Now, her dapples have almost vanished. And where oh where is that foal? This picture was taken just last week. (I will spare you the pictures of the filling udder.)
So, take your best guess. I will add to this post as soon as the foal is born!
And guess what! My daughter just told me the Andi fans can name the foal! So, after she or he is born, we’ll put on another naming contest. Then I’ll do poll to choose the top 3 names. Then I’ll let Kristi (the mini-horse’s “owner”) choose from those three. It will be fun!
1) May 24th 2) Filly
awww she’s so cute! i love her name! 🙂 thanks for sharing 🙂 and my what i difference in coats!! haha
Oh fun! I’m gonna geuss it will be a colt, and maybe 4 or 5 days?
You need to give me your actual date guess. Thx
Wow!! I am gonna guess it will be a colt in 6 or 7 days? not sure i don’t know a whole lot about horses even though i do love them!!
You need to give a date to actually be in the guessing game.
I’m guessing with in the next 7 days and a filly. She’s so big. Does she have twins?
usually minnie horses get bigger then regular size horses so no she doesnt have twins (At least i dont think so haha)
Well, they dont actually ‘get bigger’ it just looks a lot bigger on such a tiny horse… know what i mean?
lol shes so cute!
my aunt have 2 fellabellas which are the smallest pony/horse breed!
From your mouth to my daughter’s ears. She’s worried it might be twins, but the odds are so rare. Yes, a big baby though!
I need a date for the guessing game and your name.
Whoops I just realized I didn’t put a date
So I guess that would be the 22.
May 28, and a a filly 😊
That is my daughter’s birthday! She’s so bummed that she might have to wait until then. She just said yesterday, “she’ll probably deliver on my birthday.” And not happy cuz it’s taking forever!
My brothers birthday, too! haha 😀
May 26, and i always go girl, so a girl!
the 26th is Andi’s birthday!! haha!
Ahhh didn’t even know that!
Or filly 😉
May 23. Filly.
1) May 20 and 2) colt. Maybe if it’s a colt Mrs. M., you can name him Coco ( or even if it’s a filly.)
I will suggest that to my family. Especially if it’s brown
Ha, yes. Do you gave any other name ideas?
Wow! One big pony/horse! I’m guessing May 22 and I guessing a colt!
will they sell the baby or keep it?
Hmmm… I don’t know. You could ask Susie but they are off all electronics for the entire summer. I’ll find out….
Oh wow! Good for them! thanks!
May 20th. A colt! She is really huge! And SUPER cute!
How old will your daughter be?
Has Minnie Mae ever been pregnant before? If so was it a colt or filly?
Yes, but since she’s a rescue they have no knowledge of what a past foal was. They only could tell she was but a maiden by her udder.
May 26, and a colt but I hope for Mini Mae’s sake it’s not that long.
May 25! Thinking a …… filly!
1. May 25 2. filly!
I am going to guess May 21, and I think it will be a colt : )
May 30? Thinking a colt.
After the foal is born, I’m going to put on a “Name the Foal” contest.
Cant wait! Thx for doing this!
My guess is May 25, a filly.
May 28, a colt.
May 25th, a filly!
Will we get photos when it’s born?
Oh I hope so!!
It’s gonna be a cutie!
Btw my name’s Cari, although you already know that! 😉
I like your name Cari!
May 26, colt
May 21st. Colt 😉
Guessing the 27 of May! colt.
Gonna have to say May 19. Filly. 🙂
If the foal is born today (pretend someone guessed today), but it is a colt (not a filly like the person guessed), would the prize go to the person who guessed today, or the next nearest person who guessed a colt? Just wondering…
The winner closest to the date that guesses the correct gender is the one who will win. If there is one of each, say closest date and wrong gender or correct gender and wrong date, I’ll probably end up doing a drawing. But with all of these guesses, you’d think somebody will guess both right!
