| I am very relieved now. A friend of mine came over said she was huge and was I sure there weren't twins in there. It is already an active little booger! My poor mare is not very happy to be pregnant  |

Location: Bandera, TX | Mine are looking pretty normal. Praying that they drink enough during this cold front. I always worry a bit with maidens...I have one that I'm worrying about come foaling time. This mare has run me out of her paddock when you catch her off guard. No guard donkey needed here, she'll take on the big cats and coyotes! Mine are due late March. I'll try to post pics. From a week ago.
It wouldn't post the pic from my phone...

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | I have a 14 hand little mare she looks like she is carrying two, I'll have to separate her soon but I don't want her by herself as we have a lot of coyotes and other critters in the area the others will stomp anything that opposes a threat and best in numbers,, but they are mean and she is at the bottom of the totem pole. She's not due till june. |

She's a maiden mare and going to be 17 next year. Pretty excited for this foal as she is bred to CS Flashlight

yes, if your mare wasnt ultra sounded, there dang sure COULD be twins.
My maiden mare was a last minute decision to breed - we had planned to run her this year. So shes only 4.5-5 months along and she barely looks preggo!! I think the biggest thing is depends on the build ...shes a big racey mare with a super long underline -- they hide theirs better!!

Location: Texas | My maiden looks pregnant but not really big. She's a bigger bodied mare and has a lot of space for it to hide, LOL. My stoli mare was maiden last year and every time I put pictures of her up on the internet, people would tell me she was open. I knew she wasn't open but it was unsettling every time. This year she definitely looks pregnant already.
Here's a picture of her 5 months in foal for her second foal.
And this second picture is her at 313 days with her first foal. She foaled at 343.
Third picture is her 6 months in foal with her first foal.

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I know you asked for maiden mares but my mare is in foal with her 2nd foal after she was open last year. We can't believe how much bigger she is this year than she was 2 years ago. She's huge and due April 25th. Last time she foaled 2 weeks early when I was 6 hours away at a rodeo. She'll do the same thing this year and foal when I'm in Lincoln. Sucha brat. |

Location: Georgia | Thank goodness for this thread! I have been thinking that my maiden mare is getting way too large for her own good. She is due for an early April foal. She is one hefty mama. This is her at the beginning of this month.

US done at 15, 30, 60, and 90 days not a mention of twins at any of these intervals. Now that I have a great support group here I am not as nervous. |

I am more than excited to hear about more than just the maidens so thank you! Let me ask you this, when this mare was a maiden, were you a nervous wreck with the first foaling? My mare is due during the BBR finals, what luck! |

What's the wives tail about which side sticks out more than the other?
That's a good one. Yesterday when I had the mare out I jumped on bareback. The baby was on the right side and stays on that side predominantly. After I pulled her up the little booger goes from the right to the left and could feel it behind my knee, kinda cool! |

My mare is not maiden, but she is due in May and is huge already!
How does your mare foal out, right on time, late, or early? |

I was an absolute basket case. She is my retired barrel horse and I've owned her since she was 6 months old so we're peanut butter and jelly. (o: Her due date was May 20th which was the day my daughter graduated from HS. I teased her that I was going to have to be with my 4 legged girl instead of graduation. Instead Baby foaled while we were at a HS rodeo 6 hours away on May 5th. My husband and son walked out in the morning and there lay a sweet baby. When they called me I thought they were kidding. Once they got it through to me we skipped out on the rest of the rodeo and high tailed it home. After this years foal is born I might be done. How many horses do I really need? The mare can be a pasture ornament. |

I am very happy to hear that I am not in the neurotic club all by myself. My husband thinks I have lost it already. I am sure it will be best for him to take a roping vacation in April LOL! |
