I bought a lovely mare which was bred by my friend, with the intention of breeding from her. Previous breeding history is that she was covered as a 6 year old and not in foal. When she was scanned, the vet could find nothing wrong with her, she just wasn't in foal and she wasn't covered again.
Fast forward 2 years and this mare is now mine. After monitoring her for 3 weeks and no sign of a season, I took her for a scan which revealed fluid in her uterus. The vet PG'd her to hopefully help her to clear the fluid and bring her into season as well as swabbing her. That was a week ago and she's not looking like coming into season.
She's a beautifully bred, well put together mare who was injured and denied a riding career and at 8 years old, surely she can produce a foal? I don't want to get my hopes up, does this sound like a lost cause?
