Good for you!! I'm hoping I have an easy breeding season, but we're already off to a weird start. Had a mare ovulate on a 35mm...wtf?? LOL.
They bred my Reckless Dash mare on a 35 and recovered an embryo... and my other two mares went to 50s, and my Stoli mare NEVER gets that big. usually she's a 35-40 breeder! |

I'm a total breeding newbie. What's the average amount a follicle grows on a daily basis? When I took my mare in for pre-breeding exam she had a 20 and a 30, and she didn't start showing any heat signs until that day, and then that lasted for about 5 days total. |

Location: Texas | i think they can 3-5 mm a day. but sometimes mares will just hold onto a follicle and not grow it.... then regress.. or they OV it small.. or they hold onto it, sit on it, then decide to grow it. LOL. |

| Yay ! I just confirmed my DFP daughter in foal to BJO yesterday :) so excited ! My other DFP daughter was bred to Slick By Design Monday night via frozen semen so praying she sticks and they are breeding my Streakin Six daughter to FG tomorrow !!!! On average they grow 3mm a day but I dropped my SS mare off yesterday and she had a 31 today she had a 40 lol. Some mares are crazy lol oh and my DFP has ovulated on a 30 the last two cycles. My Packin Sixes daughter absorbed a 14day old FWOTR embryo so we're waiting for her to come back in to try again. Breeding season is always so crazy

Location: Nebraska | yikes. So much to learn! This will be the first year I will be breeding. I'd like to breed late this month or early next. Do any of you still run your mare the first couple of months? I'd like to run her at the BRF and then be done but if it's not good for her, I won't. |

| No ! Lol I do everything I can to keep their environment stress free. The stud fee is the cheap part shipping and vet fees will kill you and no way would I risk losing all that money because I ran the mare at a barrel race. |

Location: PA | My mare came into heat the other day and took her to the vet last night!!
She did a culture, and ultrasound to see how far along in her heat cycle she is. She was a little concerned since her cervic is still hard and closed, yet she's definitely in heat. Hopefully I say this correctly, her one dominate folicle looks relaly good she said, nice and big..didn't give me a number. She's uncertain why her cerfix isn't open but didn't seem too worried.
We're waiting for the culture to come back to see if we need to treat her for naything..but right now the plan is to breed her on her next heat cycle...next month. Im so excited and nervouse!
Both, my mare and mines first time doing this!!
This is so exciting!! I can't wait to follow everyones journey!!  |

Oh I am ! But I want to say how GREAT the Myers are to work with. I have bred 5 times to FG and they bend over backwards to help me even when they didn't have to honor a LFG they did. They are awesome ! They didn't make me pay for a second shipment after this was lost which is wonderful. A good stallion owner is a MUST :) |

Location: Texas | I absolutely do not ride/haul/compete on bred mares. I will occasionally hop on bareback for a 10 minute ride for fun.. but that is it. Their only job when they are pregnant is to STAY PREGNANT! |

Location: Adopt a homeless pet - www.petfinder.com! | For those of you that send your mares to the vet to stay to be bred, do you bring them home after the first in foal confirmation (at 2 weeks-ish) and then take them back for a 45-60 day check? With my work schedule I'd rather just leave her at the vet until that after the second check, just wondering what is normal? I'll probably be treating her like glass at that point anyway lol! |

| I leave mine until they are bred then I bring them home and take them back for their 14day check. I check them again late fall to make sure they are still in foal. |
