Hi Ashley, Becca was bred either sometime in November/december of last year, My Vet checked her IN foal in July of this year. AT that time HE said she was too far along to be exactly SURE how FAR along she REALLY is.... But would say to be due from October 1st till sometime end of november...

Ahhhh looks can be soooo deceiving can't they?? She doesn't look pregnant most of the time from the front either.. But she was being a pain about getting her pics, so not the best. Some friends of mine bought a Standardbred 3 year old mare(well claimed her) she wasn't racing very well, placing...

Yep...looks about like Becca's does right now, cept her mammory glands are a tich bigger...could be cuz she a bit bigger then Gracie. Yep Dr. confirmed pregnancy...plus when she is eating or drinking you can SOMETIMES see the baby move!! I Just can't WAIT!!! I'm going to try the...

Thank you so much! That sounds like a wonderful idea, the jackets AND the therapy!!.. Just don't think they make all that great quality of a mini foal blanket, at least not from what I've seen in local tack shops..and going over the internet..well THERE you really can't do a quality check! Hope...

okay all of ya!! Someone asked me earlier how tall Beeca is... had never really thought about measuring her. She's a pet here on the farm. Rescued from a horrible person, and I payed WAYYY to much for, and NEVER got her papers, but her and the other "mini" I got from the farm are healthy &...

Dona, That's really weird... here at my place I have them same sorta thing going on....and like you no one has been anywhere, but I share no common boundry's with anyone. However, I had not thought of the "fly" thing...hmmm! Our's started with an older mare coughing..I attributed it to the VERY...

Jeeeezzz I started this post to ask ADVICE, not opinions there is a difference. ... I don't think anyone on here breeds anything without thinking of the risks to the mare or the foal, some people have a higher tolerance to risk, that said BREEDING any mare is some small RISK, regardless of size...

awww tagalong, I'm sorry you had bad experience in putting down your horses...I don't know if this will ease your mind or not...but I will share this...I worked at an equine clinic for some time, and saw one mare have an allergic reaction to rompun...she did the same thing, flipped over and...

Good for you with your kids! I once watched my nephews, aged 9,8 and 4. Took them across the street to the local cattle farm, and explained to them that this farmer raised cattle for beef, to be processed into steaks, hamburgers ...etc (trying to explain THE REAL world..) The eldest looked at me...

PS controversial subjects are ALWAYS very heated...get used to it... you have strong opinions, and my guess is, the back bone to say what is on your mind. I'd venture to say that you probably always will...just be prepared for the back lash of opponents, and start thinking before speaking. It...
