I bought a mare last month and as we were loading her onto the trailer, the previous owner announced that our new mare was exposed to her stallion for a September 2010 foal...
SERIOUSLY?? Well, I LOVE this mare so I was not about to abort the sale. I had her check and sure enough she is pregnant. When we found out I called her previous owner to let him know she was in foal and to get any other info about possible timing so I could narrow down her due date. I believe she will be due around Spetember 12th... He also informed me during this phone call that last year her foal was breech and died. Now here is my problem, I have NO foaling experiance with mini's. We have had several mini's for years but I don't do breeding. I do have some experiance with larger horse foaling but that was a while ago. Not to mention, we live in a very rural area and our closest vet is about an hour away. I am hoping to find a mini farm that would be willing to foal her out for me. I am in the norther part pf the lower peninsula, but I do not mind traveling the 4 hours to the southern area of michigan if I can find a place where I feel comfortable taking her. Cost is not a huge concern, I just want to make sure she is around a knowledgable mini person when she foals. I want to give her the best possible chance of having a successful delivery. And with my inexperiance, that is not here. Ideally, I would love to find a farm that is equipted with cameras that are marestair.com accessable so that I can be a part of everything. Everyone her has been such a great help here so I figured I would start my search for a farm here! Thanks!
