I have a 13.2hh welsh sec C mare that was coverd once last year on 14th june.This was the only day she would stand for the stallion.She was later scanned in foal.
My friend who owns the stallion said she is due today (11/5/06).So she has been infoal 331 day's.What date would you say she was due if she was one of yours?
She has a big bag (but is stabled day/night due to midges) and has had for a week or so but has started to bag up a few weeks ago.She is a maiden mare and this is only our second foal so not sure what signs to look for.Shes very quite,still eating her food and enjoys going for a walk but loves to get back in her stable.
Thanx
Shelley

She should be due around May 20, 2006. She would be 340 days, but as she is a maiden she could go Any time after 330 days. I would not keep her in all the time, as she can get stocked up and also develop edema.

There are so many signs that you can watch for and she may show them or she may not. They're all so different.
We had a maiden mare foal last night with no notice - a tiny bag was our only idea that she was getting close. We had no due dates as I bought her from an auction and haven't received all her paperwork yet. She's only been here 4 - 5 weeks.
Some tell tale signs are when she no longer looks AS pregnant from behind as she did (baby has dropped and is in position), her belly may drop into a V shape; her rump will drop off and she may look like her butt is in a v shape too (from overhead), she should get very soft in her rump area and may loose control of her tail....
The fluid from her bag should get very sticky - that's usually the best sign.
Good luck!!! Keep us posted.

lets see, keep up the walks- it is good for her and watch for side biteing and butt rubbing, my friends maiden mare went down 2 nights in a row and was pushing,she would do this every morning between 1-3am with out fail you could even see the pushing on cam, she cast herself twice and on the 3rd morning had poops for 30 minutes[very loose] and layed down and had a filly! as everyone will tell you it all depends on he mare and they are all different BUT the signs are all the same  this was a maiden mare he most important sign [besidesfeet showing] LOL is the famous way high and to the side tail just befor birth |
