I know I posted below pictures of Destiny's belly and how dramatically it has dropped in the past two days. I am 100% positive on her breeding dates...I didn't buy the stallion until July 5th and he wasn't on the property until July 6th last year. She was in heat and bred for an entire 4 weeks (the whole of July). There was NO stallion NEAR my property before or after that period. She is in my backyard so I would know, and its very secure so no "stray" stallion got to her.
Several people have mentioned the possibility of twins. How often does this occur? If it is twins its got me REALLY worried. Large horses have enough trouble delivering twins, much less a 29.5" miniature. My question is, since she was never ultrasounded, should I have her ultrasounded now to see if she is indeed carrying twins? IF she is there is nothing we can do at this point I would assume..except know that we should have a vet present when she goes into labor?
Also, would she drop earlier if she were having twins, and foal earlier, like human women?
