No baby again.
The whole problem is:
When we got her April of 2013, she had "slipped" (lost the pregnancy in the early weeks) 2 AI (artificial insemination) breedings. She had never been bred before at the age of 10. No full term foals. No breeding, nada.
Our stallion covered her several times from April to September, and "slipped" at least 3 of those early term pregnancies before 4 weeks. By September, I just ASSUMED we had a mare that couldn't carry a pregnancy to full term or was just plain barren.
So I quit writing heat dates on the calender, last October was pretty hectic, so any in your face or "stealth heat" she might of had went totally un-noticed.
Having the vet out was an option, til I talked to him and he would have to tranq her to do a pelvic, which isn't a good idea because of her previous lost pregnancies.
She isn't as big as broodmares get, who have foals every year and get bigger each time they get pregnant. No way it can be twins, she's just not that big and would have problems keeping weight on.
Her udders are getting bigger and her belly is more pendulous...........and this is totally driving me nuts!
It's all on me. I should have continued to write heat dates down, but I just figured she wouldn't ever be able to carry a foal full term.
:gaah:
