Sorry it is long but I want to make sure i'm doing things right.............
I'm new to breeding and i'm looking for some more advice on top of what I have aready got.
So here is the story I breed my mare On June 6th -June 9th and then she was out of heat. It was the stallions first time breeding ever and the mare was a old pro. She actually got irritated that he was nuzzleing her and talking to her( I did not want a wild stallion so he was taught manners), she swung her butt into him and almost knocked him over...(We were all laughing so hard). She stood perfectly still when I breed her, no kicking squeling nothing.
On June 27th I started to tease her agian and she was acting like she was coming in to heat (winking mostly) but she would try to kick at the stallion so I took him away thinking she is not ready yet. I teased her agian on the 28th and she was not to interested in him but if he came near she would do her winking thing and squeal at him. He was not at all interested in breeding her at all. I though something was wrong with him so I took him out the the other horse and he dropped and was ready to breed.
After talking with two friends (both have been breeding for many years one is who I brought the mare from ) one said they think she is in foal and the other said she is not in full heat yet. I decided to let the my mare and stallion staying the same pasture because he is very courtous to the mare. The mare has always been pasture breed and lived with a stallion except when she had a foal at her side plus I was there watching every move they made. They do not seem to be interested in anything but grazing and running around. They eat thier hay side by side and are attached at the hip....
Does it sound like she took and is foal? Please give me your opinons and advice.
