I am having a blast with my horse right now *laughs sarcastically* and am starting to think seriously about what to do with her..

Has anyone loaned their horse to be a surrogate? Any reviews good or bad as I know very little.

Might be worth speaking to Alec, I think he's had a couple of ET foals. He'll certainly be able to recommend people to talk to. How big is Nits? I *think* they prefer ET recipients generally to be 15.2+ and ideally proven broodmares.

I think they prefer to use big mares and possibly ones that have foaled previously, not sure I would want to send a young horse away for this it will add nothing to her, mean missing a very important stage of her education, would loaning as a ridden horse not be more useful in the long run.

Umm, can't loan lame horses as riding ponies I don't think ;)

She is 15.2 but probably a bit on the small side. I did think that might be the case.
