Foal Watch Alert: Elusive Surprise Passed 200ppm Calcium Level Tonight

It’s officially time to keep a very close eye on Elusive Surprise! Her calcium levels spiked above 200ppm tonight, which is the strongest indicator yet that foaling is near.

📊 What does this mean?
✔ 98% chance she’ll foal within 72 hours
✔ 84% chance within 48 hours
✔ 54% chance within 24 hours

💡 Based on our experience? Every mare we’ve tested at this level has foaled within 24 hours—so we wouldn’t be surprised if she goes tonight.

This is a big jump from the last two nights when her calcium levels were hovering just above 100ppm. That steady rise and tonight’s spike tell us that her body is gearing up for labor. Her behavior has been relatively normal today, but we’ll be keeping an even closer watch on the live cameras overnight for any changes.

What to Watch For

Surprise will likely start showing signs of labor within the next 72 hours, such as:

• Restlessness & frequent lying down/getting up

• Sweating around her flanks and shoulders

• Pacing or circling in her stall

• Looking at or biting at her sides

• Lifting her tail and passing small amounts of manure frequently

We’ll be watching her closely to see how she progresses, but given this calcium jump, we believe we’re in the final countdown.
