Well, I got one of mine in foal

Red's in foal. Vet says... how many days did you say? Well, I think 15... he says, no, try 20... I said, no, try 15 and a big filly. He said, well, okay, that'll work, too... HA!

Gotta check Cool next Friday. Larry's black cutting mare's in foal. That stupid paly mare that went 14 days on a freaking foal heat isn't bred - which I figured - never fails... so she'll be coming back.

Thats awesome! Congrats!!!

Since when you check a mare in ultrasound, could you tell the sex? provided they were old enough? or no?

Hopefully she throws you a big filly!!

Aw, I bred her to have a filly, so we'll see. No, you can't see that on the ultrasound... course, I guess if you ultrasounded later in the year, you should be able to tell... I mean, they can tell on us, why not horses.

That's a darned good question.... how come we can't find out what we're going to have?

actually they can tell now on utlra sound the sex of our foals can remember the dates.... just need to find a vet with good enough equipment

This is true.. As long as the foal is in postion they have a 50 50 chance of getting it right.. LOL.. And, they do have to have good equipment to do this. I have two in foal and one not sure..

When is it that the vets can determine a 50/50 guess?

We finally got all three of ours bred...
Our Chicks Beduino filly gets to come home from California as soon as the hauler gets there to pick her up!!! We got a heart beat on her last week!

The Separatist mare checked in foal, we are just waiting on a heartbeat there before we REALLY celebrate!!!

And my little mare has been checked and heart beat for a couple of weeks now. SO - we have babies due at the beginning of Feb, Mid-end Feb and early/mid March...
Fun stuff!!!

Congrats to everyone who's mares are now in foal!

In my one book, From Foal To Full-Grown, it says the sex is clearly visible at 8 weeks. Man, my vet is gonna hate me LOL every mare I get ultra sounded, I'm gonna be "is it a boy or a girl? Look harder!!! " lol
