The Color Specialist Posts: 7530 Location: Washington. (The DRY side.)	The problem with mares is they really don't HAVE a "due date". One mare might carry 330 days (or less) every year, while another will carry 365 days(or more). BOTH are considered "normal". I've seen plenty of mares that carry LONGER than a year and they have no issues.

Miss Southern Sunshine Posts: 7427 Location: South Central Florida	My 2014 cold was 373 days. I was a mess. My first baby and the mare did that to me. She bagged up, then it went down, bagged up again. Never waxed. Would go out and she would be covered in sweat and off by herself, then NOTHING. I checked on her every 3 hours all night long for almost 5 weeks. Then BAM went out one morning after a thunder storm and there he was.

Expert Posts: 2013 Location: Piedmont, OK	I just had a maiden go 365 days. The vet kept assuring me it was fine and normal. She did great and had a normal sized foal . No problems. She got so big at the end I really expected him to come out lookin like a yearling.

Elite Veteran Posts: 707 Location: The stix of Utah	My mare carried her last foal for 377 days. He was cooked to perfection. She has had 4 foals and all have been in the 370 day range. It drives me nuts waiting for her to pop. I swear she does it on purpose. She's a brat like that. Ü

Veteran Posts: 196 Location: Pittsburg, Texas	Normal for mares is 10 1/2 to 12 months. We had one that went well over the 12 months. Drove me nuts. Most of mine go about 345 days.

Best of the Badlands Location: You never know where I will show up......	No such thing as a "due date" on a mare. I've had them come from 320-372 days. My mares never seem to do the same thing twice.
