Foal on board or in need of a diet?

[Kalikb]

Alrighty, so, I've owned this mare from birth. Towards the end of November, I sent her off to spend some time with the trainer. I got her back mid January and she's been in mild/ occasional work since then. Even though her feed has been slightly decreased, she is still gaining weight. That brings me to why I believe she's bred, there was a stud on property that was kept in a round pen in the pasture she was in. As well as the stud owner/trainer showing a touch more interest in her than necessary and repetitively asking if he could breed her now or in the future. Even offered to pay part of her registration fee and give us a free breeding.

The vet is coming out Wednesday and I plan to tack her onto that visit for a scan. Just thought I'd post here and let you guys give your thoughts on the situation!

A bit more info on the mare:
She's 16hh and has what we call a TB build.
She's AQHA but does have quite a bit of TB in her
She's never foaled
She's 13


(Adding photos soon)

difficult to tell from those pics. I would lean toward not being in foal but see what the vet says and let us know.

She definitely makes it hard to tell in pictures lol people are always surprised when they see her in person after seeing the pictures. I'll for sure update after the vet!

From that angle I'd definitely be suspicious that she might be cooking something - but take that with a pinch of salt as I am far from an expert... Let us know what the vet says!

Last pic does look as though she is in foal.
Keep us informed please ?

I'd say in need of some more consistent work

I would be fuming if I sent my mare for training and she came back pregnant!

They would be paying for all the vet fees!

I sure hope so! I just know I've never seen her carry her weight like this, even when she was never worked. I'm probably just being a helicopter mom if she checks open.

If she is I'm thinking (hoping?) it was an accident. I'm also hoping she doesn't have any outrageous bills lol
