What is the youngest you have known a colt be to sire a foal? Not just hearsay but honestly known a colt manage to cover and impregnate a mare.
If a colt was gelded in March at 8 months, with only 1 ball down, one in the canal, both about the size of walnuts, and not at all developed - would you say it was possible?
Behaviour wise he wasn't showing any stallion like behaviour as such, just getting bolshy and pushy on the ground, but showing no signs of interest in the filly as a filly, he just galloped about with her a lot and they bit each other and play-fought. Filly was about 18 months, only a little welshy.
Was seen to jump on her one day - but I'll stress no tackle out - I'd never seen him master any control of it! As soon as he was seen doing that - the walnuts were whipped off - and because of surgery complications - he didn't go back out with them for several weeks.
Possible? Impossible?
Mare is either hugely fat (which I think is more likely) or at 12hh ish - owners think in foal to a 7-8 months at the time-will mature into 16hh- appie x of mine.
