Hey all, we bought a couple of auction ponies this past February. The smaller mare we knew nothing about, my husband was just a sucker. They’ve both been great ponies so far, however, while grooming her yesterday, I noticed her udder was a bit distended & it almost looked like she was waxing. Part of me is thinking “gosh, is she?!,” yet I have my doubts & is wondering if it’s a pseudo-pregnancy or Cushing’s or another hormonal imbalance. A little more context: she appears to be in her low teens, udders were not developed upon getting her, we boarded at my in-laws until a few weeks ago when we had our acreage ready for them so I didn’t see them daily, but I have not witnessed any heat cycles with her. She’s grazing & behaving normally, although she did kick at the other mare last evening which has not happened in the months that we’ve owned them.
