Silly Question

AnnaBelle02 · 04-12-2004, 05:18 AM

My mare is pregnant and over the past 2 months when she has started to get much larger I noticed she stands really strangely. She couldn't/wouldn't stand square to save her life!

Is this due to a balance issue (now that she is growing larger its harder for her to find her balance so she stands differently?) or just a comfort thing? And if this is to do with balance will it at all hinder what I should be doing with her (exercise wise, ie. lunging)?

Its probably a comfort thing. Our palomino mare is due with in the next 4 weeks, and she is HUGE...I dont know if she'll last until late April...she looks liek she's going to pop. But anyways, she stands a little different also.
