Ethel
Am I right .... 340 days is the ideal number of days to foal (I know 320 is the safe date). So, Ethel is at what, day 327?? Why does she want to give her a "magical Bath" in hopes that she foals, instead of waiting to Day 340?
Additionally, I really think she has gotten herself in between a rock and a hard place. More of a "to pull or not to pull" with Ethel. She wants everyone to believe that she does not assist (i.e. pull) with every birth. However, will the temptation be to strong that she will HAVE to find some issue with Ethel and get in and assist (i.e. pull).
