Does anybody know when the AMHR office is closed over Christmas? I need to contact them urgently regarding hardshipping! Thanks

His dam is 31" and the sire 29"!!!! Yes he is sooo leggy. Thank you, I am relieved it has happened

Silver colt foal born tonight!!! pH tested lower than 6.2 just before foaling (the lightest yellow it has ever been). Calcium remained at 250ppm. The main change was her milk turned white Thanks for everyone's support!! This boy has legs that go on forever!!!!!

My mare has been testing 6.2 on pH and around 250 on calcium for 5 days as well.....

I have just tested, she is 6.2 pH still!! But the calcium has risen to a clearer 250 now... before it was a bit more of a greeny blue, now its more purpley Surely she can't be too far away now???!

Still no baby 24 hours after testing 6.2 pH... I am going to test again shortly!! Anyone else had the mare hold out at 6.2??

It's a bottle of water from a local garage for putting in irons and batteries etc!

Thankyou! Yes she has been out all day but is just grazing and showing NO signs of foaling yet whatsoever. Does it matter what brand of pool test strips you use, is it still the 1:6 ratio? Trying to work out if I could be getting an inaccurate reading somehow. I am very diligent about not...

Hi everyone, I have a mare at 332 days and I have been testing her milk for quite a few days now and I'm confused!! Her calcium has consistantly tested between 100 and 250 since I started, but her pH,(which I have tested since Friday as didn't have strips until then to do pH) started at...

I love the head on my filly, everyone comments on it! No airbrushing, all natural

I love solid colours, especially bay and black Also love the silver variations of these two colours. Not keen on roan or pintos really, or spots!

That ties in exactly with what my vet was saying Dr. Taylor! I am taking the mare to be examined tomorrow as she is in season now. Fingers crossed I will get her in foal this year Liz

Thanks for that! Out of interest, did the mare whose sample tested both positive and negative in the same day actually turn out to be in foal? What I am wondering is if there have been false positives with the weefoal 38, or just false negatives... I have a foal on the ground, and another...

Just wanted to update this thread to say that I did the lighting protocol as people suggested.... and it has worked wonderfully! Both the mare I posted about and another older mare were put under lights and both have come into season. It means I am able to take them to the vets to be examined...

Hi Rabbitsfizz, I think you are misunderstanding me. What I am doing is having an ultrasound and culture/cytology before the mare is bred which is why I have been referring to it as a "pre-breeding exam". The reason I am keen to have them cycling early is that my vet has said much more...

Hi rabbitsfizz, Thanks for that, I am giving the lights a go as better some effect than nothing! Re the ultrasound, don't know whether you saw my whole post but that's basically what it was about, that I need them to be cycling before the vets will do the pre-breeding U/S and exam that I have...

Hi everyone, Thanks for your replies! I am slightly confused about the light issue as keep reading contradictory views on it...! Dr. Taylor I have just today read an article which seems to state that even short (21 day) exposure to light can have a beneficial effect (and seems to be post Dec...

Hi everyone, I am after some breeding tips and advice please from those of you who are experienced in this field?! I have a mare who I think must have reabsorbed her foal this year. I tested her at 81 days with the Weefoal 38 and she showed positive (also having not returned in heat since...

Thankyou everyone who has replied to this topic - it definitely seems that if done by a good vet with small hands, US for minis is pretty safe. I am quite confident in getting my minis scanned next year, providing I can find the right vet. I would love to be able to see that embryo with my own...
