I have a 28.5" mare that was bred in mid-june last year she never seemed to come back into season and by fall seemed to be getting a bit chubby so I thought for sure she was pregnant. Then one day she just really didn't look chubby anymore so I assumed she wasn't pregnant although I never found a aborted fetus, which I might add she aborted her 2005 foal in October of 2004 at about 4 1/2 months. That was her first pregnancy. I did not do a pregnamare test on her this time cause when I did it last time it came up negative when in fact she was pregnant. Anyway to make a long story short she seems to be looking a bit chubbier than normal but I'm not sure if she is big enough to be having a foal in about 80 days which is when she would be due. So I am wondering if any of you who breed the smaller one's have ever had one fool you into thinking she wasn't pregnant when she was? Or do the tiny one's always look enormous when they are pregnant? I am told that the maiden mares sometimes do not get very big and I can see that being true for a larger mare especially a B size mare but I just don't know where this little girl could hide it at.
