Hello everyone, I have never had this problem but was wondering, what could be some problems of why a mare cant get in foal? I have a mare in mind of buying, but they bred her ( two differnt months a few times each) and had the vet check her 2 months later to see if she was in foal. The vet performed an internal ultrasound and had said that she felt to be pregnat but he couldnt tell for sure, as he was too big of a guy and couldnt get the probe in the correct spot to tell for sure. They then noticed she wasnt getting any bigger so they had her checked again. This time the vet performed an external ultrasound, but I have heard that sometimes they dont work as well on minis because of their thick hair, you almost have to do it when they are at least 8 months along. This was a big horse ultrasound machine(external) (does it make a difference?). Do you think there could be something wrong with her on why she didnt take? Shes 9 years old and has never had a foal before, this is the first foal they have tried with her, but maybe other owners have and werent sucessful???? Or maybe she just needs to be bred more??? Any suggestions?? how much is it to get them checked to see if they are able to be in foal? whats the procedure? thanks hope someone can help
