Dear All
The worst thing ever has happened!
I've been waiting since last October to put my mare in foal. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this, so as you can imagine I have been so excited.
I keep my horses on a stud farm, but decided not to use their stallions.
The mare is a friends, and I have had her on loan since last October. I spent last year looking at stallions, driving up and down the country.
Anyway, I took my mare yesterday for AI treatment. Only to find out that she was four weeks in foal.
After telling the vet she was mistaken - I finally realised she was telling the truth when she showed me on the screen.
I returned home, to find out that the owner of the stud farm had mistakenly pulled the wrong horse out of the field...4 weeks ago...and my mare had been covered instead!
I feel angry, sick, upset....I can't begin to tell you how horrific this is....
I wondered if anybody else had been in a similar situation (mind you, I doubt it).
