WOW!
362 days I never had mare carry that long!
Are you sure that she didnt get covered the following heat cycle or beyond?
If I remember correctly from your other topics talking about your mare that had the false pregancy you still had the stallion in with the mares as of August 14th of 2007.
So, maybe she/they were descrete about breeding after that.
What does her bag look like now? Any pictures recently.
By the photos she looks to be very last stage of pregnancy
The one I have here that is due soon (300 days on 3-15) is just now filling in her bag pretty well not a maiden though and she was hand bred on her foal heat . Her due date is calculated at 330 days, however I dont think she will hold out that long by looking at the previous notes I have on her from last year. I had no breeding dates on her last year since I bought her bred so the only thing I have on her is the notes I wrote on the calendar last year with her changes.
So I am thinking she will be a 320 day mare if she holds out that long.
I personally dont like leaving the stallion out there with them for any reason unless I know they are for sure(as in tested) in foal and even then I watch them like a hawk during the day in turn outs.
I have went through not knowing breeding dates one to many times with horses I bought "pasture exposed" and don"t like it at all.
Nothing wrong with pasture breeding but it is just not my cup of tea, since I like knowing with in a shodow of a doubt when my foals will arrive.
Well good luck and hope you mare with the false pregnancy last year comes through with a foal for you this year.

I'll have to get pictures of her today. She looks less pregnant to me. If you have photos of yours I would love to see them. Also, my gal is a maiden.
