Delilah got her feet trimmed today and those long, flared feet trimmed up. Here's the summary I sent to AC:
Delilah was showing lameness in her left hind right after having her hoof flexed for trim and then set back down for a few steps and then got better. Seemed to be originating in fetlock or stifle area but not sure - not sensitive to hoof testers. Delilah had several older abcess tracks in her heels and pus pockets in her frogs but nothing that was currently draining.

She's doing great! She's such a sweet girl. When we groomed her last weekend the baby was all on one side and she looked huge on that side, flat on the other. I wish we had some idea of when the baby might be due, but we'll just have to keep watching her udder for changes and hope she waits until spring and warmer weather.

That's great! Looking forward to seeing her become even more beautiful, and also to seeing that sweet baby!

We are pretty set for foal blankets...we acquired quite a collection with the Elledge horses so we should be good, but thank you!

Okay. If she needs anything let me know. I know money always helps! As soon as I figure out PayPal I'm going to send her some money. She tugs at my heart strings!

Ok. I just sent the money I was going to use to by a baby blanket. Use that to help take care of the ponies! I need to get up there and bring some treats so I can love on the horses.

So what's the verdict? The 9th has come and gone. Looks like the owner did not post bond? Have these girls fully become SAFE's now?

Hoping to get some updated photos of Delilah today. She's bagging up and getting close I think. She's huge and uncomfortable and has lots of edema under her belly and between her front legs. Yesterday she got a little excited and tried to do a little head flip/mini rear and her hind end went out from under her and she fell down...poor girl just has no coordination right now. I'm not technically on foal watch yet, but I have her separated in her own pasture and took her blanket off just in case. I'm going on vacation April 5-11th, so I would really appreciate it if she would either give birth before or after I am gone!

When I saw this post I thought maybe baby had arrived! Fingers crossed she holds on a while longer!

Wow she is such a cutie! And might I say, she's lookin mighty fat! [No offence intended to Delilah :]] If she has a filly, I think it should be named Bunny :] Colt-Sampson, Filly-Bunny :]

I think we are going to have a baby soon...we have dripping milk! She's totally quiet now and eating her breakfast but I wouldn't be surprised if she has the baby in the next 24 hours.
