UGH! My maiden mare is on day 334 and doesn't seem to want to give up her foal! I thought she would have had it by now, being a maiden mini and all but nope......still waiting!

So I was wondering if you all would share the longest mini maiden experience you have had?
 
372 days of Fun Fun Fun

Ahhhhhhh!!!! Don't like to hear all this at all. My maiden mare is on day 308 and I think I will go insane if she ever decided to hold on for another month or 2.

Our last maiden mare went what we *think* was 374 days... In my experience, the maidens that I've seen and been part of foaling for are like humans who are having their first babies... They go overdue!

368 days and she was hand bred so I know it was not a mistake.When the foal was finally born I named him Spiderman.He had such long legs all black and looked to me like a tarantula.I thought the mare was going to explode.Unevenful birth, but boy was I worried.When the foal is done cooking it will come out.Good luck and keep us posted
 
My 4 yr old maiden went at 365.

Seems like a lot of maidens go this long...

How many days usually dose a normal prego mare go? 335-355?
 
My maiden is somewhere between 261 to 291 days as of today and I am hoping and praying she doesn't go 350+ days!!!
