Morning everyone

Im taking my mare to stud for the first time this year. The stud is approx 2 hours away (perhaps less) and taking her there is fine but I'll be leaving her there until she's had her first pregnancy scan ... BUT then bringing her home, Im so scared she will stress as we dont do a lot of travelling - does anyone percentages/risks of her losing 'baby blood cell' on the way home?? She will be having the remainder scans done at home by my own vet x

hey, if she isnt normally a stressy traveller, dont worry. We bought a young connie mare last year, scanned 21 days in foal and had only travelled on a trailer to go to the sales. She then had to travel on a lorry from Ireland to us in Kent and she was fine. About to foal any time now.
Hope all goes well :)
