Gem

[miniaturehorselover]

So i got 3 people to check Gem out yesterday and they all said the same.. i dont feel any movement and i think Gem should go on a diet. So im a bit on the sad side that she isnt in foal.. bright side i can now breed her to a stallion of my choice I can now officially work with her and not worry that she might be in foal cause she isnt. Thanks for all ur support and looking forward for next year when she will be in foal

 

Cass, I hope you will "humor" me. I would like you to carefully take a couple of pictures for me of Gem, being sure to get down at her level. Take one full side shot, and one standing behind her, squatted down and looking down her sides -- and be careful to be "square" == not off to a side, just looking straight down her sides.

I hope you will humor me -- because a mare that is just fat -- doesn't have this lopsided belly .....and not "feeling" a baby move doesn't really mean anything. I've gone through many pregnancies without feeling the foals move -- just catching them with my eyes moving around once in a while.

So, if you don't mind can you humor an old gal? .....

I was going to make the same request Diane! Yes Cass please humour us, plus may I also ask who the three people are who said Gem wasn't in foal - not that I'm necessarily doubting them, but just wondering if they have been regularly seeing her so they were able to give an opinion on any changes noticed or not noticed?

If she's no pregnant it will be a shame, but as you say, you can now plan for a foal next year.

Sure would seem likely to me -- they don't go from fat to slab-sided without something going on in there!!
