My miniature mare had a still birth in April this year, the pregnancy had gone fine and the mare had safely delivered healthy foals in the previous two years. Since this happened I have spoken to many people who over the last two years have experienced the same thing. Are there more still births recently or is it just that I am hearing about it more having experienced it myself. The last foal I bred was 19 years ago and at that time a still birth was very rare and classed as extremely unlikely to happen. One yard last year had several foals due and all but 1 was still born. Anyone think that this is happening more now than in the past?
