My mare has a thick line going down one side of her vulva. It is a deep blood red. She is at 312 days today and has several signs of labor. What do you think the blood red sign is? There isn't actually any blood it is just on the vulva. Thanks for the help

My mare, Precious, has had two foals. Both were aborted at 9 months. This year we tried pneumabort shots and regumate started about a month ago. She is at day 310 today. This is the farthest she has ever carried!!! Yeah!!!!! My question is---is she considered a maiden mare or not? I was...
