I agree with Montanas_Girl, it looks in the 7.2 range, potentially on the side of 7.8. That’s not surprising, given there more recent bagging, and still going up and down based on movement. But on my monitor, the oranges are really close in color. Try reading all this in natural light - not bright sun, but like if standing under an umbrella on a bright sunny day.

How old is that bottle? You don’t want to have the colors on the bottle faded.

I’d say you can wait to test again on Wednesday

I think there was a post on the forum
Somewhere about a filly getting pregnant from being turned out with freshly gelded colts. Turns out there were still some ‘swimmers’ in the tubes they got the job done. Maybe that happened here?

I’m so excited that baby pictures will be here way sooner than expected!!!

Can’t wait to see the little tyke.

“ Should we start guessing on birthdate, gender and markings?”

No. In fact we’re running out of time AND we need to suggest names! :rofl:

OP dam and sire names, if you can share?

I’m here for a chestnut pinto colt but a bay filly with 4 socks and a big blaze is my 2nd guess. Born tomorrow night at 4am!

Holy heck I hope we’re not that close.

Daddy is a mystery.
The mare is a 3yo TB and she’s tiny. She was microchipped but never named or registered with the Jockey Club. I call her Minor Miracle, her barn name is Mikey. Her sire is a bay with chrome.

It’s looking less and less likely that the pinto pony is the baby daddy and that any breeding that occurred happened before she went to the farm where I bought her. I’ve spoken with that farm owner and she feels very certain her little stallion did not have access or the ability to reach that far! But she’s also following the progress of this and happy if I got a 2 for 1 out of the deal.

Ok I’ll revise my bet:

Bay colt with two white socks: Major Mystery

Or plain bay filly: Lost Socks

At my old barn someone bought a TB mare at auction. The mare was getting bigger and bigger, and you guessed it turned out to be pregnant so that was surprise #1. Owner knew nothing about the horse’s background. So the 2nd, even bigger surprise was when she dropped a mule baby :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: They named it “Surprise.”

movement is highly heritable, so… :heartpulse:

Hoping it’s got mom’s attitude bc unless I’m missing something that’s a 3 yr old toting a kiddo

This is a phenomenal brained 3yo indeed. Kiddo is not bad either :wink:

Although I probably would not have bred this mare intentionally (I’m not a fan of her hind end conformation), I’m also not terribly upset if she is in foal as she has some stellar qualities.

I like @phantomhorse’s name suggestion of Minor Twist!

“We” already named @Texarkana’s surprise foal this year BOGO. Lol.

And the verdict is…………

NO BABY!

Manual palpation and ultrasound were negative!

What the heck!!
