If she was in season and he was viable then it only takes a few minutes, seconds for actual copulation to occur. Just because one didnt see the event doesnt mean that it didnt happen. I am sure they werent watched every minute of the day for entire weekend.

If she is a maiden mare (never had a foal) then she will carry higher than a seasoned broodmare and may simply look like she has gained weight but only in the middle. The only 100% for sure way of telling if she is pregnant is a Vet check. He/she will palpate her and can even tell you about how along she is.
You can also purchase a pregnancy test (fairly exspensive) but at this stage its probably unwarrented, wait on time alone, and in many cases you can feel/see for abdominal movement. I'm not talking about a flicking of a fly but actualy body part moving along the uterin wall bulging out the sides. The best way to feel for such, foal movement that is) is by holding your hand under her belly going diagonaly under from her stifle towards the udder. Hold with mild pressure. If the foal is active then you will feel it, if the foal is not then you wont. Check again at another time. (be sure that the mare doesnt kick your head off so be safe when doing this) In my past experience feeding time seems to induce activity in utero foals. But then again one has to measure the temperment of the mare for this can also be a time when she doesnt want to be bothered by a human feeling her in a tender area. Take caution. Has she showed regualr heat cycles after the rondevue (sp?) with the stud? This is not 100% conclusive but helpful. (some mares will show false heat cycles even if they are indeed pregnant. I had a mare that would do this. She would be pregnant but still semi responsive to stimuli, the only thing she would not do was break down all to gether with stud teaser.

At 335 she should have dropped considerably in the belly. (foal getting in position for birth) even in a maiden mare. Its not unusual for mares (esp maidens) to not bag up until the wee hours before delivery, some will bag up then dry up some then bag up again. They all (maidens not as much as seasoned mares) relax in the vulva area and the croup will become flaccid and jello like (I call it jello butt). Some will pace more often, some will paw the ground and will do the same impending delivery. Some do nothing then show up with a foal at thier side the next morning with a nice full udder. Some fill up weeks ahead and drip colostrum. Each mare is different and of thier own. IT is not unusual fore a maiden mare to deliver late even up to 360 days. I say get a Vet out and get the mare checked. Its a little late for her regime of pregnant mare vaccinations. Consult with Vet at time of Palpation.

She has definatly gained some weight (she is wider in her chest and in the rear area based on the top part of her rump.) She looks just fleshy but if she is maiden its hard to telll with a front shot. Got a profile (side) shot of her????

 

Has your mare exhibited any seasonal behaviour over the past months? My mares both have very obvious heats, and the absence of such would be a clear indicator of pregnancy. Although I have had pregnant mares behave as if they were in season, they only do it in response to an exceptional stimulus, not in a recurring cycle.

Pretty mare, by the way. From the photos, I'm betting she's in foal.

 

Why haven't you gotten the vet to check her out? That should be the number one thing to do now.

 

I will take a side pic today. I guess I didn't ask the vet because we only have one on our island and he lives far away and he wouldn't give me a price. The people we share pasture with said that we didn't need to. Now I wish I would of because I worried about her. I am going to go now and measure all around her and her vulva. I saw a good video on YouTube so I am going to try this. I will upload pic tonight. I had her for 6 1/2 years but I am also new to horses. I didn't know how to tell she was in heat. We had moved our horses to a new pasture. We had them in a paddock and we were working on the other side. Then we switched them to the new side. All the horses were making noises. I saw 4 horses on the pasture next to ours. I just thought they were making noises because it was the first time they saw each other. This was on a Friday. On Saturday we had to go to a party that was 30 miles away so we stay till evening. Then on Sunday when we were to meet out horse shoer at our pasture is when we saw the horse. This taught me a lesson. I didn't know that there was a stud on that side I thought they were mares and geldings.

 

Honestly he could have gotten her pregnant through the fence as well... If all you had was a single fence between stallion and mare there are many cases of horses getting pregnant through fences. When there is a will, there is a way. A vet will be the only way to know for sure.

 

Bottom line is, IF he got in on Father's Day weekend last year, June 14-16, 2013, she could foal any day now. Her "due" date would be roughly May 20-22, for a 340 day pregnancy.

 

I have no advice, but she's a cute mare. I hope she's not pregnant, and just fat, but mare+stallion=foal the vast majority of the time, as someone else said, even IF there is a fence between them, let along if they were loose together.

 

I forgot to mention that when this happened on Sunday we moved the horses to another pasture so it was only that weekend the stud was around her.

Here is a picture today

Here is a side view. I measured her circumference and it was 7ft 4 in and from front thigh to back leg was 2ft 6 in. Her vulva to manure hole was 6 inches. I tried feeling for movement but couldn't find any but she tried kicking me twice when feeling her. I am waiting for vet to get back to me.

She looks kind of cresty which is an indicator of overweight, and if she were due any day now, I'd expect she would be hanging lower in the middle than she is. What do her teats look like? Any swelling there? She looks like an easy keeper, so she may just be a little fat.

 

Well she definatly inst lacking in the grocery department. Some maidens wont hang very low even at the last of thier 3rd trimester es if they are carrying a small foal. Just by looking at her I say she is just overweight. Vulvas in mares vary in length and thickness to much for the actual measurement to be concise but its the elongtion and relaxed look of the area (sometimes the labia will hang open esp in older seasoned mares) upon impending birth. She would be due any day and would at least have a relaxed "jello butt" and relaxed vulva even if its not as such a seasoned mare would have.

Also alot of ppl say you dont have to do many things esp in the horse world when it comes to proper Vet care and 90% of the time they end up being dead wrong. Would you have a baby without proper OB care? Many women do but thier percentages of something not being right increases by 10 fold. Just food for thought.

And yes if the fencing is esp. poor or improperly installed the stallion can indeed impregnate a mare (ocasionaly it can occure with the best of fences) that is one main reason why when breeding operations put up fencing they put up a stallion "run" or space inbetween the pastures and not back to back. As what was stated if there is a will there is a way esp with a determined stud and mare.

 

Here is a side pic from Dec

Does she look the same here as the pic above or does she look smaller?

 

My guess is easy keeper. She still is very thick and has a cresty neck, so I'm guessing she's probably just overweight. No guarantees, of course.

 

Here is a side pic from Dec

I just remembered i had a side picture from December. Does she look the same here as above?

 

^Smaller in the above

 

Ummm I would say ultrasound and different vet.

 

If I remember the poster is on an island with only one vet. It may be possible that the OP could have another come from elsewhere but the advice given was sensible. I would up that to once a day as she would be due at this point with that time frame. She looks like a sturdy little horse. I love her color.

 

Yesterday I was feeding her and I had my hand on her and I felt something move. This was on her side towards utter. Is this a place you can feel the baby move? Do I need to move the two geldings somewhere else or can horses be together when she foal? If I move her to another pasture would the geldings hurt the baby when I brought her back?

Mares in the wild leave the herd to foal. She would probably like to be separated from the others, if possible. (I have heard of some geldings being agressive with newborns.)
I think your mare is adorable. I wish the best for you.

 

Aloha & Thanks for your help. When do I reunite her back with other horses? Like how old should the foal be?

I also second the notion, chekcing on her at least once a day. All in good time though all in good time. If it was me I would relocate the geldings for safety sake but if its going to stress her out then perhaps leave the mare's favorite. Some geldings wont pay any attention to the foal and some will irritate it to near death and though not common some will savage it.

 

Subbing

 

There was a foal earlier this year that was mauled by a normally sweet natured gelding. He broke down the foaling stall side to try and kill it. foal was lucky to survive. Keep the mare from the gelding as much as possible closer to foaling.

 

OMG I will separate them. If I moved my mare to a different pasture would she be sad to be alone? I don't trust my geldings because they always kicking each other over Mahina or food. I think they would be jealous of a new foal. Now I am worried. I only have a couple weeks to figure this out.
