After your mare is bred when if it safe to start riding her again?And how long after she is bred can you worm her?Do you count from the first or last day that she was bred? |

Have you confirmed that she settled? If she has and has been use to being ridden you can ride. Exercise is good for her just dont over do it like jumping if she is not use to it and such. YOu should be able to ride well into her pregnancy but I would slow it down the bigger she gets and stop at the last month or so..Much depends on YOUR mare and what she is use too, her age and overall conditioning. If she starts getting grumpy then she is letting you know how she is feeling.
for mares and their prego dates and such they always go from the LAST day she was bred or exposed( if pasture bred)
As far as worming you can ask your vet. Much depends on the wormer you are using. I use only Ivemect or panacure as recomended by my vet and have had no problems to date with worming mares after three months...good luck and keep us updated on her and your newly expected foal! |

Congradulations! Are you going to have her ultra sounded to see if she settled? I would wait until she is 30 days prego. As I said just dont over due it, just dont do things she is not accustom too.
If this is your first baby then you are in for a treat! READING is the one thing I recomemd for you..My foaling bible is Blessed is the Broodmare and there are several others out there. Keep us posted Jenea! |

I had heard to wait - I think it was 8wks or 5-8wks I cant remember exactly- before riding because they dont attach very well for a while, is that right? I also heard not to worm before 60days but not until after I had wormed at 45 already! |

I play it even safer and don't worm until 90 days into the pregnancy. Hopefully your foal will be OK, you do hear of all sorts of cases where someone didn't know the mare was pregnant and gave vaccinations and wormed at all the wrong times and the baby still turned out just fine. |

Oh, as far as the riding goes I usually give them the first 2 weeks off, then light work for the next 2 weeks, and back to regular work after that. I usually stop riding at about 7 months. |

OUr mare was ridden right after being bred and has been ridden up until now. She is 6 months along now and is very large and seems uncomfortable with a saddle AND it is now freezing here in Michigan and I hate the cold so she is off the hook until after the foal is born. My vet said it was safe to ride her right after breeding and up until a month before she delivers but also said every mare is different and she will let me know when its time to stop--which I believe she has!!! As far as worming my vet said to wait 30 days--after her 30 day ultrasound she was wormed, he said NOT to use EquaMAx. I would just speak to your vet and he can inform you |

My vet said not to use Equimax for the entire pregnancy although I see now Equimax says it is approved for pregnant mares so I am not sure why he said not to use it. I just use Ivercare and Strongid but use to use Equamax after the first frost................ |

She is very pretty. What is she bred to?
Here is our Appy mare that is pregnant. She was very early in her pregnancy here she is huge now. And the gray mare was bred but the vet says she is open. I am still not convinced but I guess come March we'll know for sure.

I tried looking at the pictures but it said that it can't find the page. |

Dorothy I would almost be convinced that your grey mare is in foal. She has that very round pod look to her. Maybe your vet just missed the foal. At what stage was the preg check done? I think you will have a baby on the ground in March. |

She was about 4 1/2 months along if pregnant when the vet palptated her. She was straining the entire time(like trying to poop or push his arm out) He said nope she is open, I mentioned a blood test and he got very uppity with me and said I would just be wasting my $$ that he is 99% sure she isn't so I didn't push it. This same vet missed our other mares pregnancy by ultrasound at 18 days post cover--he had also said she would ovulate 4 days later. So we brought her back to the stud and she never came back into heat--so I called him twice and both times I was told there was absolutely NO WAY she was pregnant. Stud owner took her to her vet and sure enough she was 33 days pregnant!!! SO I do not have a lot of faith in this vet anymore. I am treating her as though she is pregnant(giving pneunabort vaccines) and I guess I will find out in March |

I know there is a period (around the 5 month mark) where the foal slips back over a ledge and is out of reach for palpation. Maybe this is why he couldn't feel the foal. Like i said before she looks like a mare in foal to me! Good Luck! |

Dorthy, She does have a big abdomine, but it looks more like a hay belly to me (no fullness in the flank area. My mare last year looked the same way she was 16 years old and had 4 previous foals in the past but she turned up open. She was just an easy keeper and tended to put on the pounds as fall came along. She was already sprung (in the ribs) which made her appear pregnant when she was not pregnant. But for your sake! I HOPE SHE IS! |

This mare has never been an easy keeper, she was about 200 pounds under weight when I got her and has not really gained anywhere else but we'll see |

This Mustang mare that I purchased in Aug. this year has a snotty nose. She's been in captivity for three years and is pretty tame. She was bred in May and is showing. The vet put her on DI-TRIM antibiiotic in Sept., no change. This week we put her on penicilin. Any suggestions on the snotty nose? There are no lumps under the mandibil area and her appetite is good. The vet doesn't know. This foaling experience is a first for me so every little thing out of the ordinary worries me about this mare. Will sppreciate your input. |

What color is the snot?
Has he checked for different types of gutteral pouch infections? Yu would feel a soft lump just under the ear by the jaw line. If it is a gutteral pouch infection( mind you there are three types and out of which one is fatal(viral) and the other a pain to cure)if it is the one type our filly had(bactiria) then a course of SULFUR drugs as it ( hers took a month i,e, two containers)to clear it up, or if it does not, surgery to clean the pouch out and it is expensive and dangerous. If you go online and type in the search bar...equine gutteral pouch infections..you will be able to check out different types.
Our filly's appetite was great as well but she started to crib at 7 months old becuase of it. Vet said she did it to relieve the pressure in her gutteral pouch much like a baby pulls at its ear when suffering an ear ache. We also found that she had more snot when she grazed and her head was down low..it alowed it to drain. We did not notice the lump until the vet showed us where to look. ..Keep us posted on her condition hun.. |

Elena, I've used Equimax and Zimectrin Gold on my pregnant mares without adverse affects. Another good one to rotate is Panacure. I have to say though, the one I tend to see the most results with is Zimectrin Gold, a few weeks after worming, it seems to just make the horses bloom. I don't see the dramatic results with other wormers that we've used. (but that's just my opinion, I have no scientific evidence to base it on) |
