So I posted last year that a stallion had rampaged through the village and raped my horse. I had bloods done at 121 days and they came back negative . If I could afford a scan right now I would but I can't as had to pay a huge bill for the horse trying to rip her leg off in january ......
now said mare is rising 4 (5th may is her birthday ) and she piled on weight when we first moved to this yard at beginning of February and generally was a horror to ride after a month of box rest , so turned her away with no food for 6 weeks , rode her twice a week out hacking , now she's in full time work, hacking once this week, jumped twice and lunged twice. She is only having a handful of pony nuts from my pocket when turned out after work, she has been in 3 days this week and out 24/7'the rest of the time. She is a poor doer normally , but ATM looks pregnant to me . She's in a lw rug with no fill and has finished her hy each afternoon when she's been in (approx 8kg ) so I'm sat in her stable with her after a lunge and a brush and her belly is dropped , she's still tucked at her flank ( always the place where she loses condition first and is lacking in muscle still) I'm taking poctures of her in a minute it's the low belly and I always seem to think I see odd movements too :/ I really hope she's not in foal , we have too much planned and I don't think I'd be allowed to stay on the yard where we are now
queen bee if I send you some pics can. Upload them please my ipad is a piece of poo at uploading ATM xx
xxp don't want. Condition critique , I'm happy with her the weight she is coming out of winter , I can feel,her ribs but not see any and there's no fat pads etc , she's a bit tucked after work now so please don't insult her just give opinions when the pictures go up....
sorry huge thread , stallion is 17 HH tax shire she's 15.2 and a bit welsh x appy so im assuming its be a biggish foal , all winter she was on conditioning cubes, sugar beet , fast fibre and conditioning fibre plus milk pellets , I cut these in mid February due to be a loony . Foal,is due July 1st if she is pregnant. And please don't say just get her scanned after paying off half her vets bill I don't want to add to it again this month with a scan ....... Next month if I'm still concerned I will.
The other reasons I think she's in foal, she hasn't had a season yet and normally has one as soon as its warm, is beginning of march and is being a total cow to me in the stable :/
