Yeah ; we've had that challenge this spring as well. Our other mare, Beach Barbicue, basically said I'm not gonna & you can't make me ...until late last week. Hopefully Mutakddim put an end to the discussion. :lol:

Okay ; allow me to ask the dopey question. Both my mares are in Kentucky at the moment but at some point need to return to New Jersey. That's a long trip so assuming both are still in foal at 30 days when would you folks feel comfortable putting them on a truck for the ride home ?

If everything is going well, my advisors usually say thirty days is okay for travel.

I have sent 3 to the shed.. one in foal on one cover to Mull Of Kintyre, another mare is just a slut, she was on her 1st transitional heat of the year GRRR, and the 3rd mare said.. NO WAY NO HOW let me kick your teasers stall door off! Yes, a maiden with a foal at her side. Next time I will leave baby at home since the stud is only an hour away..

Sixty days is a lot safer, if it isn't a problem to wait that long.

Even in Louisiana we are having trouble talking our girls into being very cooperative. So, maybe its nationwide. Got one covered, got one with baby in the oven, and two who obviously didn't make the "how to have a baby" class. Hopefully this week someone will clue them in. Until then we will keep teasing and teasing and teasing!!!! Women!! :roll:

Kiss my Asterisk was just dropped off yesterday for a repeat of this years filly (fingers crossed). This one is for the owners of the stallion Clever Return, then a repeat the next year with the baby back to us.

Question: the wonderful mare Liberthine was bred and supposedly got in foal 'a couple of weeks' ago. On Saturday she ran in the Grand National, which is a four and a half mile steeplechase with thirty fences. Liberthine came fifth. How safe is that, if transporting before thirty days is considered unsafe?
