Why might it not have worked?
Long story. I have a very randy TB mare who has been very obvious in season. I sent her off to the stallion, she should have gone on the Friday when I expected her to be coming into season, she went on the Sunday morning due to unavoidable reasons and showed no interest in the stallion whatsoever. By the following Monday she was still not interested so as the vet was out anyway she was jabbed to bring her on. It's now a week later again and although she's turned out next to the stallion she has shown no interest in him at all.
I had assumed the jab was pretty foolproof and had been told it would take a couple of days. By the end of this week she should be in season again anyway, according to her cycle.
What's running through the back of my mind is that she has been turned out with my elderly welsh boy who has been covering her. That's how we've known when her seasons were, however although he's been examined by vets as he has a strange lump in his scrotum and we've been assured he is indeed a gelding not a rig he has never been tested. One of the most obvious reasons, to my mind, for the mare not coming into season would be that she's already in foal. . .
Someone set my mind at rest, please. He's a lovely boy but I've known him as a gelding for far too long and I certainly wouldn't have bred the mare to him!
