This. Granted, your proposal might work, but it might backfire disastrously. It would not be a chance I would take, no matter how much anecdotal evidence I got that it might be okay.

More jingles and positive thoughts.

Very odd year here in the sunny south, as well.

Good luck is a wonderful thing. Hoping that it continues!

Sending Friday jingles. How lucky you were that your mare was at the clinic when she twisted. I lost a mare to a twisted colon in 2005, despite jumping right on it and getting her in for surgery....

In 1999 I had a mare bag up and start dripping milk at 280 days. She had been previously checked for twins at the usual times, and the vet even stated that she could not have twins, because she had...

Sending a gazillion jingles.

Sending more jingles today.

Ditto. There are about 3-5 minutes between the water breaking and real pushing. I always check position as soon as the water breaks and have made small corrections that made a big difference in ease...

I only have one of her sleeping so far. Camera has been giving me fits. I promise to get more tomorrow when she's three days old and out playing. :yes:

My trainer has presented many three year olds that were 4-6 months pregnant at the time of their MPTs with success. It really comes down to the expertise of the trainer and the horse's innate...

I am so sorry for your loss, Signature. I lost undiagnosed twins in 1999. :cry: Jingling like mad for your mare. She is in good hands. Hoping all is right very soon.

:):):):):) My first one has arrived!!! A Wolkentanz I filly out of Rohanna (Rohdiamant/ Freiherr). She is a full sister to my mare Wolkenstanza who made an 8.5 overall in her AHS inspection (highest...

If surgery is not an option, my recommendation would be to get the filly onto a good ration balancer (Progressive, Buckeye, Triple Crown make good ones), be sure she has free choice minerals in front...

Ditto. I worm within 12 hours of foaling. Have done so since 1996 with zero problems. :yes:

I bred a Bugatti in 2003 - an ET with my mare Wintermaske (Weltbekannt/ Rubinstein I). EMC Ballerina (despite being raised as an orphan after the surrogate dam tried to kill her) matured beautifully...

Another vote for a ration balancer. I am now using Progressive's grass formula balancer, added Envision for any that need the extra calories, free choice loose minerals, and good grass hay. Out 24/7...

I have a 2008 RP colt. His dam is a solid, slightly older style Donnerhall mare who stands about 16.1. RP added length of leg, refinement and a little chrome. The dam has good gaits, but her RP is a...

I, too, would consult another vet about surgery. I would not count on nutritional supplements to cure ocd that is causing swelling and pain, but I do think that surgery might take care of the problem...

foxtrot, please forgive my brain spasm. "Is" would be correct. :winkgrin:

Trottrotpumpkin, 1 day's drive is close enough. Go. :yes: :winkgrin:

Beautiful and noble boys. Many thanks for sharing, Penny!

Juan Samper was quite an expert and the publication date is recent, so that might be a good purchase. Ditto Tuckaway on the McKinnon tome. It is very detailed.

I highly recommend attending one of...

Another double thumbs up for Kathy and Jos's seminars. I have attended several. Always something new to learn. :yes:

How terribly sad. My condolences to her family and friends.
