![](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/Dragonwiz/thumbsup.gif) So you asked for it!!! Would you like to increase your odds of getting a filly? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Now, if possible get your mare started on this recipe about One (1) month prior to breeding, to get a good pH balance started in her system. It isn't absolutely necessary, but the longer that you have to get your mare started on this, the better the results!! Feed 1/3 of a cup of Apple Cider Vinegar a day over your mares grain or feed ration. Most mares will take right to this, even the most finicky will take to it in NO TIME! And this will NOT interfere with a pending or upcoming foal, or interfere with your mares milk supply, OR even interfere with a nursing foal. It will not interrupt your mares regular routine at all. Now, the actual week of breeding, you will need to increase your mares intake of Apple Cider Vinegar to 2/3 of a cup TWICE A DAY!! And then after that week of breeding, return back to the 1/3 of a cup of Apple Cider Vinegar once a day until the mare is checked in foal. As you don't want to interfere with your setup program, just keep her on the maintenance program until she is checked in foal!! Return to the 2/3 of a cup twice a day the week that you are breeding if your mare failed to settle. NO, I haven't lost my marbles here!!! And YES, it is still the Stallion that determines the sex of the resulting offspring!! This isn't rocket science here, but changing the pH balance in utero, will increase the odds of getting a filly by making it more female chromosome friendly!!! Feeding the Apple Cider Vinegar to your mare will change the pH balance in utero enough to make the environment more female chromosome semen friendly … Increase your odds of getting a filly!!! So far with folks from all over the United States and even Canada, we are at 115 fillies to 23 colts!!! Now those aren't bad odds in anyone's book, especially MINE!!! This has come from folks using numerous stallions, using such methods of breeding as live cover, AI and even shipped and frozen semen!! Now it also isn't absolutely necessary to start this program 30 days or so in advance… I've known of folks with VERY LARGE breeding operations, that just feed 2 to even 3 cups of Apple Cider Vinegar to the mares that they were breeding JUST the actual week of breeding!?!?! And they still got at least a better than 80% of their resulting foals to be fillies!! Again, not bad odds!?!?!?! For those of you WANTING A COLT, replace the Apple Cider Vinegar with 1 tableshoohoo of Baking Soda over your mares feed, doubling that amount the week you are breeding (everything else staying the same)... The Baking Soda changes the pH balance in utero, to be more male chromosome friendly, increasing your chances of getting a COLT!!!

Thank you for this extremely interesting information! I appreciate the opportunity to learn anything new about horses, and this has defiantly new to me, and I find it really interesting & usefully. Think I am going out to the store today & buying Goldie some apple cider vinegar as she will be visiting with Dude next month to hopefully get bred She isn't to willing to get bred by him for some reason, all though I suspect it is because I raised them up together. But I have had her in-foal twice by him ,so I'll just cross my fingers, eyes & toes again this year, and hope that I can catch her in season & then let him, do his job ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
I guess I need to start a new question maybe? How to get a mare to show in season to her husband instead of the yearling colt

Well, I'm going to try the apple cidar vinegar and baking soda thing with my mares, I am (hopefully) breeding 12 foals for next year, if not more (they're NOT all mine! =)) So I'll keep track of who I use vinegar and who baking soda, and then see what we get next year!!

Bey Aana, who is due to foal on June 8, was on apple cider vinegar last year before she was bred. She was bred early in the season but kept on the apple cider vinegar until everything was confirmed.
The twins came along and I was so busy I didn't notice she came back into heat but Lindsay and Dave kept feeding her the vinegar. Once the twins were here I didn't know if I really wanted to do anymore breeding but couldn't pass up the chance she might actually have a filly for me, so went ahead and rebred since she'd been getting the vinegar for months!
So far she has had 4 colts for me, that's why I tried the apple cider vinegar. So we'll see what we get this year. This mare is getting up there in age and I really want a replacement filly from her. Cross your fingers.

Fingers crossed, I know how you feel, I have an old mare that is becoming quite sub-fertile and I have only had colts from her. She's on the apple cidar vinegar, AND I'm doing embryo transfer with her, hoping to get 4 foals from her next year. And I won't complain one bit if the ACV works and I get 4 fillies! lol
