Could somebody please tell me how you calculate a due date for an in foal mare. I know its roughly 11 months but say she was covered on 30th June 2009 when is she due to foal (date). Thanks in advance

so that would make her around 2nd june- and they can be 3 weeks late quite easily- especially maidens as easy as they can be 3 weeks early- I'm afraid you will just have to wait and see- so long as there is no discharge and she appears normal- eating drinking- pooing. My old tb mare always went 1 year and 3 days. Keep us posted, but all sounds fine to me- let her go out and wander about- is she bagging up- ahah thats another story! I've just had a maiden mare foal- no bag at all- it came within the hour |
