Though the answer is usually no. Prism is a difficult mare to get to take. I have been trying for a couple of years now and typically she wont even go into a standing heat till August. We did get one gorgeous foal out of her in 2013 but sadly we lost that baby due to complications. We sure tried to save her though. We thought after the plasma transfusion she was going to make it but it didnt work out. We gave Prism the year off, talked to several breeders and our vet and decided to give it another go. She didnt take for a 2015 foal. This year we tried things a little differently. After a lot of sweet talking by the only stud we own of age that we havnt tried on her she was bred in May (hand bred 5 times between the 9th and the 17th). We have never bred so early before. Maybe things will work better this time.
To me she seems broader from above and a little bit fatter from the side. Perhaps she took. Ill post some pictures here and there so we can watch and debate. She does get a LOT of hair over the winter so it may be a little hard to tell. I do have pictures I took of her from her last pregnancy too for possible comparison.
I try to remain skeptical with her as shes such a tricky mare but I want to be careful and here in case she in fact is bred.
Here she is body clipped in May days before she was bred. You can see she has a slight tuck to her belly past the rib cage.

I feel like it is a little early for behind pictures but here is one anyway. Force of habit. Also this August.

They are dry lotted and I try to keep them from eating in the dirt with the platforms there which need to be swept off. I have not increased her feed. To me she seems broader from above. She could be leading us on a wild goose chase though. Better safe than sorry.
