This is unbelievable! Mini-Mae is still holding out on us, even though her udder is huge and she’s pouting in a corner! Kristi (age 9) has been on Mini-Mae watch, because they were sure she would deliver yesterday! (May 27). Here it is now May 29 and still no foal. So, take your best guess ONE MORE TIME (yes, really). But this time please make sure your email (not in the comment, but in the box before you leave the comment) is included (you know who you are). If not, I will not be able to contact you. See the image? This is a comment but no email! I can’t notify the winner by replying to a comment. It doesn’t work that way.
Another chance to guess the date and gender
This is good news for all of you! In light of how “off” we were (after all, a rescue horse doesn’t whisper in your ear how far along she is), you guys can all make another guess on this post. I will look over the old post for any dates that go into June, but pretty much . . . this is crazy! So everybody can start fresh and guess a new date. And instead of just the Circle C flashlight, I am including a Circle C calendar because everyone has been so patient!
Checking Mini-Mae’s udder for progress
She is just so stubborn!
(This picture makes Mini-Mae look like Shasta!)
Story Idea
So, I saw Mini-Mae six months ago (on the left) and Mini-Mae right now. They don’t even look like the same horse! I can see a possible story idea here, about a Circle C dapple horse that gets stolen but six months later, what seems like their horse can’t possibly be because it looks like a completely different horse, and the thieves have changed the brand. Maybe a summer contest entry for somebody?
My daughter (Kristi’s mother) now understands the frustration of Andi’s family when Andi kept running in for a week or more at every twitch Taffy made, for sure she was getting ready to drop her foal. Just like Taffy was pawing and unhappy and uncomfortable, the minute Justin went out to check her, Taffy was eating and looking fine. Mini-Mae did this exact thing. On Friday, a lot of pawing, her nose pushed into a corner, biting at her sides–all the classic signs that the foaling was imminent! The next day, Saturday, she acted like she’s not even pregnant. Her udder is monstrous and she is all soft and squishy. But she’s eating and just looking at Kristi and the others, as if to say, “Ha, ha, I’m fooling all of you!”
Happy guessing! Kristel (Kristi’s mom) said you guys might as well guess well into June. (Hint: she has no more clue about any of this than the rest of us.)
Coming Soon
You fans get to name the foal! That post (with another giveaway, of course, for the person who offers the name that Kristi likes best for her foal) is hopefully coming sooner rather than later. Stay tuned!
Hmmmm I’m gonna guess Filly for June 4th
Thanks for giving us another chance, Mrs. M!
Silly Minnie Mae! Have your baby already 😉
I’ll guess June 3 colt! She is huge! Can’t wait to see the foal after he/she’s born!
That would be a great story idea Mrs.M!

Oh Mini Mae!😂
May 30! Memorial Day, that would cool. But how about June 7, filly. How is Mini Mae walking? I’v heard that if they start walking like they have on a diaper that means, the foal is do in the next 24 hours. Go Mini Mae😁
Ive heard that too!!
@Barrrelhorse4, Do you barrel race or have a horse?
Yes, well, she has pretty much give us all the usual signs of an imminent foaling but no foal yet!!! Last year Scarlett was clock perfect for the signs and delivered according to the 24hours, etc. But this mini horse is not following the signs!!
Lol she is so funny! I would have to say… June 3rd and a colt
June 3rd filly. That picture dose look like Shasta
What if somebody guessed the right date but wrong gender?
It’s all about the date. 🙂 But if two guess the same date and one gets the gender right, well, then that person will win.
I guess June 10th, and I still think it will be a filly.

I’ll go with June 8 and a colt
June 5th and colt
I deleted your email from the actual comment, Kearra. You do not want to put your email into anything public. I checked your “user” information and your email is there. That is where it should be so only I can see it and not the whole world. 🙂

One question. How could thieves change a brand?
I have a blog post coming up that will explain all that. 🙂
Thanks
A joke with goat people such as myself is the “Doe Code” when a doe shows all the signs of dropping kids soon but then the next day might not even look preggo. Minnie Mae is pulling the “Mare Code” on y’all. 😂
Hello!
I’m gonna guess June 6, filly.
Hannah

I’m going to stick with my previous guess of a filly on June 7. Thanks for another chance, Mrs. M!
