I thought this was an interesting reference. It is refering to Dr. Oliver Gunther from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Dept. Of Endocrinology-Reproductive Physiology who has been cited as the modern-day discipline of equine reproduction. This gives us something else to watch for on our pregnant mares.
: Ginther suggests that there is a SLIGHT correlation between
those mares that show estrus (showing signs of being in heat) during pregnancy - especially early - and the sex of the foal being a filly. It would be fun to see how true this is come next year and foaling season. There is at one time or another on this forum someone asking about a pregnant mare showing heat to a stallion or gelding or even other mares.. :bgrin
