I suspect she had pooled fluid from the covering and possibly had an infection hence discharge.
Mares that pool, could do with minimal covering, i.e inhand rather than running out, and every other day more than daily, and. maybe even flushed after covering.
But your vet would advise you, but i think she could do with a flush out.

Thanks Deucho, will she have pooled fluid even though she has only ever been AI'd?

Thanks Jane, I think I'd best give them a ring. This happened quite a while ago but it's just been playing on my mind a bit, she's been in perfect health other wise but just as she was scanned a day or two before coming home and given an all clear health wise I didn't think to have her checked out again.

Any change in mood or shape? Have you seen her in season?

It isn't often I get mine scanned at all- and have only had 50% sucess, I've had mares scanned not in foal at 21 days and out popped a baby next year - I've had them scanned in foal and no foal - so not a great believer in it to be honest. I've also had one jump in with the stallion - and be injected not to hold - then scanned not in foal - sold it and they got a surprise one morning - with no warning - no udder filling nothing - they had got her ready to go to a show! Good job it was a friend - could have been tricky - but I had all the vet bills to show what had been done...
I often find there is a change in attitude - either go to gentle or go to grumpy.
Yes, I've had alsorts over the years - even to them standing to be covered naturally, running with the stallion and to foal 3 days later!!! so I really think its a waiting game.

I worked on an Arab stud many moons ago - before any were scanned! we had twins born sucesfully and they survived! I breed Dartmoors now - and have never had any bother in 40 yrs of owning my own stud. I also worked on a tb stud with a quarter horse stallion - when I was 16 - we never scanned & never had any problems, but I know it can be a prob - I would speak to your vet. Good luck - let us know what the vet says  |

I think any differences in scanning accuracy rate are down to the individual operator rather than the techniques. My vets have always been very accurate. I don't routinely scan either though, only if I need to know for a particular reason, normally either they foal or they don't, usually the former!
As for twins - I've had one set, aborted in Feb or so which I gather is more common than them being born alive and surviving. There is a higher rate of twinning in TBs; one reason for that is the rate of scanning and then pinching out one of twins, which is in effect selecting for twins as it means more conceived as twins live on to breed themselves, so spreading the twinning gene, whereas twins in other breeds are more likely not to survive.

my mare is a maiden and her shape really changed, quite early on and our vet said it was quite common with maidens to change shape , as a broodmare who foals every year will maintain a broodmare shape throughout her breeding life so I would of expected some change although it would be too early as of yet! also maybe the sticky gloop could of been a weird form of her being in season, we have had mares where they have been very sticky and almost snot looking but only seen it for a day then back to normal again. Like sarah p said above I also believe scanning comes down to the vets individual capabilities. our vet specialises in breeding horses and reproduction so I trust him and he hasn't let us down as of yet!!
If you had a scan done atleast you would have piece of mind that she either was / was not infoal. my mares temperament changed to being grumpy and she hates any other horse coming near her! she has always been a wonderful quite character and never had any mareish tendancy's but now she is awful although this is only with others and not people although can be a little moodier at times but I would definitely say her temperament has changed! she has calmed down a little though since being brought in! let us know what happens!!
