My prego mare

smeebee101 · 05-05-2005, 12:32 PM

My mare that is supposivley due this month has been really tired lately. Are these any signs of foaling soon. She does eat, I give her her hay and after she eats it she goes and stands out in the field. She doesnt eat grass or anything, shes sleeping. My mom works all day and Im in school and there is nobody home so we wouldnt know if shes having her baby. Im just a little concerned. I havent been around a pregant mare before and I dont know how they should act. She just seems so tired. Her teets are alittle big, so wouldnt think shes due for a while but WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

From what I have heard, they tend to be more restless when the time is near. She is probably just tired of packing around all that weight and is just exhausted

have you talked to a vet about the fact that she might have been on fescue?
