over due maiden
Ok my maiden mare is 13 days over due. I know all mares are different but how long is to far over due, I've passed the anxious stage and now entering the little bit nervous stage.

My mare is day 294 and bagged up pretty good. Last year she apparently went early and foal only survived 28 days. I hear that once a mare delivers past day 300 that is isnt considered premie. Im crossing my fingers this little guy stays put for at least 26 days.
Vets say just to hang tough as they think she probably just bags early. No other signs yet but man does it make me nervous.
oh ya and BTW she is NOT GETTING ANY BEER!!!

My March Madness mare is still holding her colt.... will try the beer thing tonight and let everyone know if it works.... the mare with the early bag is just like a "mom" buying baby things the day she finds out she is pregnant... being Prepared... mares are each so individual. I have several who NEVER show heat, thank you very much to an old stakes winning gelding that hangs out and points them out to me when they are ready to breed. I have one that was just the sweetest, easiest mare in the world till that filly was born. Now the mare is all "teeth and heels, b____ on wheels!" Some will really work hard to communicate their feelings to you, others will only want you when they have something wrong... Some love to be groomed, others HATE it.. My philosophy is don't waste time worrying till you REALLY HAVE something to worry about, like a baby too small or crooked or a mare in obvious distress.
Anyhow, five are in heat today and need to be bred, so if I get killed .... best wishes to your mare...
