If I was in your siutation, I would send the stud colt's owner a bill for the ultrasound, and if she's preggo, (and you decide to chose the option), and the vet has to go in a lute it...I'd expect them to pay for that as well. IMO it is the responsibilty of a stud's owner to keep their horse from unwanted breeding. <br /><br />Of course, this probably will NOT promote harmony among your neighbors. *sigh* SO VERY SORRY FOR YOU.

I know vets can do something simple to terminate a fugly pregnancy, but I can't remember what.

My sisters horse is the result of a six month old colt being on the other side of a fence. Definitely not something anyone thought would happen, and a more stubborn, badly confirmed horse I've never seen. No matter what we do nature tends to find a way. <br />I know if I were in your shoes I'd be in the phone with the vet. I know with dogs the sooner you take them yup the vet the better the chances you can stop a pregnancy.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755280250974282959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-43105581961260984112011-07-14T20:27:42.296-04:002011-07-14T20:27:42.296-04:00Is she still acting like she's in heat?

Also keep an eye on her to see if she goes back into heat.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01660277328441543313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-5668153641131025182011-07-14T12:57:43.624-04:002011-07-14T12:57:43.624-04:00Nicole,

All my reading this week indicated that a breeding is possible as early as 6 months (if they get the job done).<br /><br />:(<br /><br />The possibility horrifies me. The colt is a scraggly 1/2 paint, 1/2 tennesee walker, crooked legged, horrible specimen. In fact if he were a high dollar endurance stud I wouldn't have wanted the "free" visit due to her metabolic issues. <br /><br />Just shoot me if it's true. Just shoot me now.All Who Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811193190492037859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-63128649840406991422011-07-14T11:57:12.266-04:002011-07-14T11:57:12.266-04:00It seems, from my quick google search that colts d...It seems, from my quick google search that colts do not reach maturity until 2-3 years of age. It looks like Phebes should be safe from having to give birth to a....hoppy ? (horse x puppy...playing off your german shepherd analogy :-)<br /><br />But good idea to be proactive. Unless they plan to geld the colt in the next year or so, you could have a problem!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771289932849704113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-39463570785068963052011-07-14T11:37:35.489-04:002011-07-14T11:37:35.489-04:00Ahhh oh I so hope your mares are unsullied!!Ahhh oh I so hope your mares are unsullied!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344662726517478751noreply@blogger.com
