Thanks! Duane, One thing we found out when breeding our mare well into her 20's is that older mares tend to ovulate AFTER they go out of heat. Usually the day after they say "no" to the stallion. So we would breed her one more time after she said "no" (breeding hobbles are a good idea in this situation, even if the mare isn't a "kicky" type). It worked well for us. I believe the herb you are referring to may be raspberry leaves, but someone else will have to tell you how to use them. We had no problems with this mare keeping a foal once she was pregnant. We had tried all the chemical treatments to help a mare conceive (Regu-mate, etc.) with no luck. Then I stumbled on the late ovulation info in a book on broodmares by a veterinarian who spent her life working with mostly race horses. I figured if it worked there, I had nothing to lose by trying it. It worked on our mare, too. Good luck, Mary === Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Do You Yahoo!?

This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Sarah, I sent my mare for breeding at a fancy establishment, where they starved her, did not treat a wire cut and she also ended up with a vaginal infection probably from the stallion. When I went to get her I did not recognize her. She could hardly stand, looked terrible, she was then four years actual age, and was down at least over 150-200 pounds. I barely made it to my vets with her as she was so weak. He examined her. Her mane and tail would just come out with a slight pull. He did a Caslicks (sp) sewing up the vagina as he said her thinness tipped her to where fecal matter could enter the vagina and also that when it is sewn shut, nature cures the infection she had and we also helped by giving her antibiotics. He did not do a preg check as in her condition she could not have conceived. About seven months later the vet came to check a colic she was exhibiting and cut the stitches to do a rectal. A look of wonderment came over his face as he declared her pregnant, seven months at least! The result was Charley, my huge Trakehner. So, I have nothing against the stitching except on the days when Charlie is being a nerd and I am trying to give him away.

We used it on Juniper and she foaled exactly 340 days after conception. (she had foaled a couple weeks late for her first baby). By the way, this baby is wonderful! Has the best personality of any foal I've ever come across! And beautiful. And sweet. Misha would be proud of his daughter if he saw her! We're looking forward to the next evaluation on the West Coast (whenever that may be). I have a feeling this one will score off the charts. Pamela

This message is from: "duane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi List, I while back I read a little about some homeopathic herbs or something helping a mare conceive and help keep her foal throughout the term. I have a 20 year old mare going to be bred soon who didn't take last year and was wondering if anybody out there could give me some suggestions to help her out. Thanks! Duane Pound, Wisconsin
