In June, we had four mares that looked like they were "with foal", complete with swelling bags, belly's getting wider or even V-Shaped, mushy tail set. Well, one mare foaled and the other three have lost their "full" figure.
One, for sure, went past 12 months, thus it's logical to assume that she's open. She accepted being bred by our primitive dun stallion. What concerns me is that she's so fat.....and I've watched her weight (beet pulp, exercise, etc.)
The other two looked like everything was coming along as expected (purchased them with pasture breeding certificates that could very well allow for them to foal up until mid-September.......but their bellies and bags have stopped developing. In fact, they look trimmer.
Has anyone experienced such a situation? Thanks for any input.
