Last summer I had one mare bred to an outside stallion. She was, because of the stallions show schedule and the mares timing only covered 2x on one heat, the last 2 days she was standing. Now all winter long I watched her and said she was open because she didn't really get a belly. This is not a maiden mare and she still has no belly to speak of. Her sides are less distended than those of the 2 open mare in with her. She is however rather flat backed and filled in at the flank. She does not appear fat anywhere else and is normally not an easy keeper. Now she is only a couple of weeks shy of her due date and I recently discovered she is making a bit of a bag. So now I'm wondering, could she actually be bred? Has anyone ever had a mare that really didn't look bred even this late in a pregnancy? I'm watching her like a hawk now just in case but..... Very confused, dang mare.
