Thanku for all the posts
Im not quite sure what to say to people now, I am honestly trying to do the best by this mare. The vet has reassured me that this technique has a very good success rate from the cases they have carried out and there is almost no risk to the mares welfare from this procedure.
Im not really sure why some people have taken this oppertunity to 'belittle' an individual, i thought forums were supposed to be constructive and supportive. I have not disagreed or put down anyones posts and am fully aware this is not an ideal situation and am doing what we can to resolve it.
Thanku for the supportive posts, simsar, your patronising attitude to me and others is very rude.
Brighteyes, The mares previous foals, 2 are racehorses, one is a youngster who will go into training and the other is an eventer. Why?
I cant help feeling that there are alot of people on this forum that do not have a realistic idea of animal husbandry. It makes me laugh when people say its too risky to breed foals, its what a mare was designed to do, like every other female mammal! - i know twins are a totally different proposition before i get jumped on and i have never said i would allow this mare, or any other in my care, to carry twins to term.
oh, by the way, i am a man, not that that makes any difference!
Good luck to all with your horses and thankyou for all the advice
