Provide a heat lamp if you live in a very cold area. Add a video or foal alarm if you'd like to monitor your mare at a distance. Make plans for how you'll haul the horse if you need to."
article: The mare will need plenty of room to have her foal so pick a large stall if you are going to stable her during this period. If you prefer, a mare has no problem having a foal outside in a grassy area away from the stable, but having her in the stable does allow you to provide supervision for the birth more easily. With an outdoor area, make sure it's grassy and fenced in so you can get to your mare if you need to. Keep the mare separate from other horses so it isn't stressed during birth. Sweep out any debris from the stall and scrub down the floor with soap and hot water. Let it dry out, then apply a disinfecting solution to the floor. Leave the solution on the floor to dry. For a disinfecting solution, you can use a bleaching solution that's at least 10% bleach. Cleaning a clay or dirt floor is more difficult than other types of floors. Sweep the stall out and clean it as well as you can. You also can't clean an outdoor area, but the grass should provide a somewhat clean area for a mare to have a baby. Clean manure out of the paddock daily to keep it clean and clear. The straw will provide an area for the mare to lay down in, as well as a safe landing place for the foal. Don't use shavings for bedding, as the foal will be covered in moisture and the shavings may adhere to it. A foal can also inhale shavings, preventing it from breathing. Horses are fairly hearty, but if you live in an area that stays cold well into spring, it's a good idea to provide heat for the stable. Check the cord for fraying and make sure to put it where the horse can't get to it. Hang the lamp high enough so it doesn't burn your foal or become a fire hazard. You really only need to do this if temperatures are below freezing, and even then, it may not be necessary. However, your mare should be inside to give birth when the temperatures outside are freezing or below. Mares often go into labor at night, so a monitoring system lets you keep an eye on her. It will warn you if she's going into labor so that you can go out to provide supervision. Some of these systems are actually attached to the horse, and they set off an alarm when the horse goes into labor. With these alarms, though, your vet will need to suture it to the horse's vulva area to set off the alarm when the mare is giving birth. If something goes wrong, you may need to take your horse into a vet hospital. If that's the case, you need to know who you'll call and how you'll get the horse there. Have the numbers written down and ready to go. Practice loading your mare into the trailer in the months leading up to the foal's birth. This will help make the mare more comfortable if you need to haul it. If you can't haul the horse yourself, make arrangements with someone you know who has a rig to haul your horse. Have their number on hand. Call a few days ahead to make sure the hospital will be open and ready.

Try a pair of above-the-ankle socks if you'd like a hint of color and texture. Wear tights underneath shorts, skirts, and shorter dresses if the weather is cooler."
article: Matte fabrics will usually work better than shiny fabrics. If you have shorter legs, match the color of the leggings to the booties (such as black leggings and black booties). This will make your legs appear longer. Pair leggings with a loose-fitting blouse or tunic. If you'd something more streamlined, wear a wide belt around your waist. This will cinch the tunic/blouse in. This is great for those warm, summer days when you decide to pair booties with shorts. Wearing socks is a must; they will help soak up sweat and prevent foot odor. Put on a pair of long, bulky socks, then bunch them down. If you are wearing skinny jeans, make sure that the socks are over the jeans, not under. Try a pair of solid-colored socks with an interesting texture. Let the sock extend 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) above the cuff of the bootie. If you are wearing skinny jeans, consider tucking them into the socks. This can also be paired with ankle and boyfriend jeans. The sock will cover that gap of skin between the boot and pant cuff for an interesting pop o color and texture. Try to choose a pair of tights with an interesting texture to them. Also, if your legs are shorter, try to match the tights to your booties (such as black tights and black booties). This will make your legs look longer. You can also wear socks over the tights as well, but try to keep the colors similar. For example, pair black tights, with light brown textured socks, and brown booties.

article:
Wrap a measuring tape around the middle of your bar of soap. Add 2 inches (5.1cm), then cut out a strip of patterned paper according to this length. Wrap it around the middle of your soap, overlap the ends in the back, and secure them with tape or glue. The strip can be whatever width you want. Something between 1 and 2 inches (2.5 and 5.1cm) would be ideal, however. Scrapbooking paper or wrapping would work great for this, but you can create your own design on the computer, print it out, and use that instead. A piece of double-sided tape or a scrapbooking glue dot will work great for this. You can also use a glue stick to secure the strip. Scrapbooking paper will work great for this, but you can also use wrapping paper or even tissue paper. If you choose to use tissue paper, however, you may want to fold it in half to make it thicker. Add a label to the back of your soap to hold the paper together. Alternatively, wrap a paper strip around the middle. Cut a circle out of tissue paper that's about 2 to 3 times the diameter of your soap. Set your soap on top of the paper, then begin to fold the edges to the middle. Slap a round label onto the middle of the packet to seal it. Start by folding the top, bottom, and side edges. Move onto the diagonal edges next, like numbers on a clock. If you don't have tissue paper, you can use a round coffee filter instead. You can put the soap into the pouch unwrapped, or you can wrap combine it with any of the above methods. For example, you can wrap your soap with a paper strip first, then tuck it into the pouch. For a rustic touch, use a burlap or linen pouch. This works great for irregular shapes, like hearts and stars. Set the soap down on a piece of fabric. Gather the edges of the fabric together so that the soap is bundled up inside. Wrap a piece of ribbon or string around it, then tie it into a bow. Organza is a great option here, but you can also use tulle, chiffon, cotton, or any other lightweight fabric. The fabric should be 3 to 4 times bigger than the soap. If it is too small, then you won't have much fabric left to tie. Add a label tag to the ribbon or string before you tie it around the fabric for a more professional touch.
