I have a 4 year old miniature mare (Amarillo) and she was in with a stud from July to fall. I am wondering if you guys think she is pregnant or not. I don't know how many days she would be at, but I am looking for some new eyes to look and see! What do you guys think?

She certainly looks pregnant and if she were pastured with a stud for that length of time then I'd say you can be expecting a baby. Welcome to the Nutty Nursery!
 
Thanks, does anybody have any idea how far along you think she is?! I found a picture of her belly before and a picture of her now! Her belly is a bit bigger and she is a little fluffy now!

My guess is she probably took the first go round... So 9 months? But I don't know nearly as much as other very seasoned mini midwives on here :) I'm sure you will get some more guesses soon!
 
It's very hard to know from pictures. Here are two of my mares that are just 9 months along. One you would never know and one is obvious. Both have had foals before.

Best thing to do is put your hand just in front of the udder during mealtime and you'll feel baby kicking if your patient. That's when I'm certain they are pregnant.

Ok thanks, I will try feeling there for a baby when they eat and see if i can feel some movement! I am so excited for the foals to come!!
 
I'm in agreement that we'll be watching for a baby with you!! I'd say she's in her last trimester, so now is the time for a higher protein level -- a mare/foal feed with some alfalfa during these last couple of months/weeks.
