This reminds me of a funny story from back when we were breeding the horses. I used to do 2 hour checks on the mares at night as they approached their due days. I'd wear jeans and a cotton shirt and crash on the sofa with an alarm set for two hours. When the alarm went off I'd pull on layers of warm clothes and boots. I was a sight! One day a neighbor told me they saw a bag lady near my barn in the middle of the night. I told them "that was just me". Gotta admit, I bore a strong resemblance to one though.

Yes, those foaling nights are quite the fashion statement. I get the alarm cause we did 15 min stall checks (20 mares). When things were hopping (or popping) I walked the barn all night. Lived in sweatpants & long underwear under my sweatshirts & not my pretty sweatshirts either & I was working at a fancy farm. No one but night watch & foaling crew ever saw me.
