Page 4ADVICE from “From Foal to Full Grown” by Janet Lorch ISBN 0-7153-0722-3
Ultrasound pregancy
Ultrasound as early as 14 days or as late as 45 days.
Recommended times, day 18 to 21 then 25 to 35 days. If the mare stays at the stud then she will be presented to stud at day 16 after last covering then every 2nd day thereafter to establish if she is going to return to season.
If she does not then there is every likelihood that she is in foal.
Therefore scanning at 21 days is recommended in order to save unnecessary expense.
Subsequent scanning at 25-35 days is also recommend to establish that the mare is still in foal, & by this time a heartbeat can usually be detected on the screen.
After day 45 the scanner isn’t so accurate, then manual palpitation can be done on day 42 accurately.Blood test for pregnancy
Between 40 & 60 days for PMSGBetween 45 & 100 days for eCG
Between 45 & 100 days for eCGWe suggest: Ultra sounding the mare at day 18 this provides two days time to catch her next in-heat cycle if she isn’t in foal when
Artificial Inseminating and shipped semen is being used for breeding. Then you can have semen collected (day 18) and shipped in time to AI breed on day 20 & 21.
ADVICE from “From Foal to Full Grown” by Janet Lorch ISBN 0-7153-0722-3
Foaling Heat
First season after foaling; it occurs normally 7-10 days after foal is born and lasts only 2 to 3 days - unless a stallion is at hand it
often isn’t noticeable. Thereafter the mare’s system will return to its usual season every 21 days.Mare HeatEach cycle should last 21 days.
Each cycle should last 21 days.Day 0-6; In season estrustail up, winking, relaxed cervix.Day 5, In season Ovulationtail up, winking, splayed hind legs, urination, open cervixDay 7* Out of season diestrusears back, kicking, closed cervixDay 20 start of next season New estrusRenewed interest in stallion* If the period of estrus lasts longer than 8 days this indicates that there may be something wrong.Classic signs of mare in season (Heat)
May show one or several:
1. Lifting of tail combined with a:2. Swelling of vulva lips3. Mucus will escape from the vulva4. Winking (an action that pushes out the clitoris)5. Crouching down as she straddles her legs and urinates.There should be no harm in gentle riding of mare during pregnancy providing she was ridden regularly prior to pregancy. Keep
her calm, no jumping, no short bursts of galloping, no strenuous runs, no sudden hard stops/slides, or suddenly working without physically working up to that condition.Put mare in the foaling area one month before foaling to acclimate her, and to allow her to build up anti bodies to protect her and
foal from germs in the new area.Foaling date:
Horse: One month back from breeding day, plus 5 days.
Mule: One month back from breeding day, plus 5 days to one full year.Foaling signs:
Udder - observe carefully from 6 wks before birth. Vulva - look for slackening of vulva lips. Body & hindquarters -watch for change of shape, & extra heaviness. Legs - may fill, & mare will become much slower in her movement. Imminent signs:
1. Udders should be hard & full.
2. Waxing may occur. 3. Mare may run milk. 4. Unusual restlessness in the field or table. 5. Muscles & ligaments under the tail very relaxed, vulva long & easy to open when parted by the observer. Physical papation: 14-16 days no heat: Two finger size cervix, firm muscles.
