My friend just got a new brood mare that is supposed to be30 days bred this last week. She has already become attached to her gelding who was a stud until he was 10years old and did breed mares. He is 19 now. Anyway she had to take him to the vet today and when she got back the mare started winking, no urine or discharge, just tail raised a little. The gelding didn't drop or even pay her much attention. He will, though if a mare is in heat. Soooo, the question is, does this mean she may not be bred? Before she brought her down, the mare was bred, they said.

I would expect her to show more sign. They will wink out of submission too. I've seen young fillies pee when an older horse takes after them.

Was she checked in foal at 14 days? If she bought her as a bred broodmare with no real check, I'd get her checked to make sure she took. At least that way your friend will know if she's open so they can breed her again.

She was checked at 14 days. She is a "freebie". My friend knows the mare and has seen her foals, BUT she did not have a foal this year. I can't remember if she had twins and they pinched one off and the other one she absorbed or she slipped. She is taking her to get the 30 day check on Monday.
