Equine-Reproduction.com Bulletin Board » Pregnant Mare and the Newborn Foal - Volume 1 » Normal to appear smaller? « Previous Next » Author Message   Kris Moos Breeding Stock Username: Kris Post Number: 222 Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Monday, March 06, 2006 - 10:26 am:        My mare is 316 days and is appearing smaller everyday, narrower in width from front and rear view and whole butt area from side view, belly not hanging any more but filling out quite a bit in the flank area, she has been hollow in the flank area until 3 days ago. I am wondering if this is normal, why? last week she had one day of really abnormal shape(many will remember the photo post) and has been increasingly smaller looking since. no bag yet, tail head croup area softening, very irregular gate, looks very uncoordinated. any info regarding this would be very helpful and comforting if normal or do you think a vet visit is needed? thanks! kris   Deena Breeding Stock Username: Morganslil1 Post Number: 253 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Monday, March 06, 2006 - 11:25 am:        Kris its normal looks like yall are getting closer.   windy fillmore Weanling Username: Windyf Post Number: 37 Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Monday, March 06, 2006 - 11:44 am:        I agree with Deena (hey girl by the way. how's Christian)Sounds like the foal is just getting into position.
