Pregnant coming 2 year old???

[D W 2]

I bought a filly that was born in May 2009 I believe and she looks pregnant to me, I tried a weefoal 38 and I to me it looked like 2 lines but one was faint? is it possible that she is bred??? and if so has anybody ever foaled out one of these guys.... I think that she is 30 - 31 inches tall and has a good hip on her, I am just worried about her, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Can you post a photo of the Wee Foal test? If the filly was turned out with a colt or stallion, she could be bred. She could also just have a belly or look like she does because of her winter coat. How long have you had her?

If she is starting to show a belly due to a pregnancy chances are she would be past 38 days which would mean that the Wee Foal 38 would give you a false result. I would post pics on here and get a wee foal 120 to test her with.

I have had her since August, and I think that her belly is growing, I would have to order in a weefoal 120 to test her and I didnt take a picture of the wee foal 38 and I did it in early december... I thought that if she was bred it would have been later but I am not sure. I will try and take pictures of her and get them up here tomorrow!!

The WeeFoal38 accurately tests for pregnancy 38-120 days. You use the WeeFoal120 120 days and after.

Being she is 30"-31" at 2 years old, should be fine.

My mares are 30"-32" as adults.

I have had 2 foals born safe & healthy without any problems.

Not saying I would recommend this at all.

If registered AMHA no problem but AMHR will not allow foal to be registered.

Good Luck

& looks like Congratulations might be in order.

Can you post a pic of the mare? It might help determine if its just hair, winter weight or more going on.

Sorry that is what I meant, thanks for clarifying!

The bigger question is if she is bred what is she bred to? Height and bone of the stallion on a young and small mare can make a big differance on that first delivery especially.

I bought a mare that turned 2 in April, and that same August, she had a beautiful filly, all on her on, She did fine, got right back in foal, and has had a baby for the past 6 years, no problems. Her name is Cool Creeks Ramblin Rose, Snowfire miniatures owns her now. She walks by a stallion and gets pregnant, has them out in the field all by herself, brings the baby with her to the barn for dinner. Definately my definition of a brood mare! If all my broodmares were like Rose, my life would be much easier. Certainly you do not have an ideal situation, but not a disaster either. I am sure she will be fine, just feed her well, and be there to be supportive!
