Our KWPN sport mare, Rilory (Calvados x Ekstein), checked in foal to Contendor (Calypso II) but twinned. One was pinched and we’ll see if she holds on. One more mare to check in the next day or two.[/QUOTE]
Fingers crossed that she hangs onto the singleton!
Our new Selle Francais maiden mare was confirmed in foal to our stallion, Richard. She, herself, was shown through the Grand Prix jumpers.
Interestingly, she competed once against Richard – he was not a gentleman though (he beat her:))
Below are photos of them jumping over the same jump in this event.
Our mare Cor-Ageous checked in foal to Wild Dance today!
Yippee…16 day checked in foal our wonderful Palladio daughter, Paisley CF, to Mezcalero!! Won’t that be a colorful little bundle of jump!
Also looks like our nicely reliable premium Rainbow mare, Rainfall, is checked back to Palladio was well (only 13 days but looked like we had a pregnancy!)
Yeah…that means we’re DONE!

continuing to send positive thoughts for your mare and her embryo.[/QUOTE]
Adding my positive thoughts. My Quinar mare, in foal to my deceased stallion Cielo B, had colic surgery 5 weeks ago. Embryo with a heart beat was present when she came home, but when we checked her last week, the pregnancy was lost :(. I blame this terrible heat in TX.
She is doing really well otherwise

Very cool!
Well of course with horses you never know…but Colleen is now home and resting well. She hasn’t laid down since the surgery but can you blame her?? Thank you all for the jingles, they seem to be working. She was checked yesterday and we still have a pregnancy!

Generally w/a major trauma/surgery we don’t consider the pregnancy “safe” until 30 days after the “insult” (injury, surgery, etc). If the pregnancy still looks good at that point then they generally hang onto it (unless something else happens). It can take that long for the body to respond to the trauma and terminate the pregnancy.
I’m sorry for your loss 
Great to hear that Colleen is doing well, is home, and is still pregnant!
I just had a 45+ day check done on my mare and she’s still pregnant, too!
Well here is ray of hope for you. I had a mare who went through TWO colic surgeries. One at about 30 days pregnant and another about 90 days. She maintained the pregnancy and delivered a big healthy colt the following year. SO mares can be tough cookies and pull through under the more extreme circumstances. Prayers that your mare holds on to the little one for you.
WAHOO! Just had my 16 day check and we have a single blob!!!
Now get us to the new two weeks and the following 10 months, the foaling, raising the little bugger - OMG!!!
I am DONE! I have never bred this late in the year. What a long season. I hope everyone still breeding can maintain a thread of sanity!
Three coming for us:
Narcos II x Voltaire x Quidam de Revel x Galoubet
Quinar x Calato x Lacapo x Carneval
Contendor (Calypso II) x Calvados x Ekstein x Major de la Cour
I’m not looking forward to late foals, but that is better than no foals and open mares standing around all year.
Good luck to everyone still going

Congrats! Almost done here, I think…
Just took my appointment for next week for heartbeat checks on the two mares bred here this year. :yes:
We’ll be checking Azalia (Anhaltiner E/Raise A Chief xx/Isella xx) for her new owners. She was checked in foal to Sir Wanabi.
And we’ll be checking Barbarees Hill (Matter Of Honor xx/Briartic xx/Henry Tudor xx). She was checkedin foal to Dreamscape’s Banderas.
Here’s hoping both are still in foal! :winkgrin:
I got a heartbeat!!! We checked at 18 days and vet said blob looked kinda small so we wanted to recheck in 15 days. So at 33 days we had a recheck and we had a heart beat!!! It was this little white blob with this pin sized little clump of cells that were thumping away. I am so excited especially all we went through to get her here, two inseminations that didn’t take and another where we missed ovulation, so fourth try at home was the charm!! :yes:
Rubi my Rubinstein/Warkant mare was bred to Desperados. I wanted to use Hohenstein but vowed I wouldn’t unless she double ovulated. So it was Desperdos. The long two week wait begins. If she doesn’t take we’ll wait for next year. She was cycling weird at the end and I think the heat, maybe being so late in the year, and possibly nursing all played a part. I’m not expecting this to go well but I’ll welcome a nice surprise.
I just wanted to say that I love your 2012 prospective foal crop!
Well, I thought I was finished, but we are about to breed one more mare!
I’m doing something I’ve never done before; I am breeding full sisters to the same stallion. Please cross your fingers that I get a second pregnancy for the Nabab de Reve x Radco/Chin Chin/Carthago cross.
This mare is pretty cool. We’ll hopefully have a 2012 foal and then she’ll go into sport. Looks like an International horse
Boo. Pony mare DID conceive twins. Overachiever. Reduced today on Day 15 - it went really well. Our repro vet managed to convince it to move all the way across the uterus into the tip of the opposite horn (they were side by side, to begin with) so hopefully it went well. Gave some banamine to help with potential post-procedure inflammation. Does anyone maintain them on a progesterone regimen after reduction? If so, thoughts? We’re not, as of now, but could consider it depending.
