Mini mare is possibly pregnant

[Flying on boo]

We have her on a supplemental feed but we can look into getting a mare and foal feed.

Why do you want to give her raspberry leaves? As far as I know it can help if they are 'temperamental' when they are in season. I wouldn't recommend using them if you think she's in foal, I don't know if it would do harm but most of the 'in season mare herbs' say not to feed if in foal, but you can call your vet to check.

I have read that the raspberry leaves are good for mares during pregnancy, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with using them during mare pregnancy.

I agree with everyone to treat her as is, until you know exactly if she's in foal or not. Not a massive fan of the home pregnancy tests. I recommend getting a vet out to test her. Good Luck & I hope shes in foal for you

I agree, home pregnancy tests are not ideal. I’m not sure if you’re referring to tests administered by owner rather than vet? Wee foal 120 is extremely accurate and has been a 100% when I’ve used it. I think overall it’s about 97% accurate. In place of an US it is very helpful. But has to be after 120 days to about 300 days. Or you can play the waiting game. I agree though, best to treat her as in foal unless you know.

I have been looking at the wee foal test but havent gotten one, I might just wait till we do the ultrasound.

Elizabeth.conder, do you have any foals coming this year?

Elizabeth.conder, do you have any foals coming this year?

Yes. Was supposed to be 3-4, but now just 1.

Did the others loose their foals? How far along is she?

I had one mare lose a foal at about 80 days. Then I sold another mare in foal. I had another mare I was sure was in foal but she didn’t take. The one mare that I have left in foal is 234 days.
