This morning my trainer called and told me someone had opened several horses stall doors overnight including the mares and a stallion. The stallion spent the night with my mare and one other in the barn. The barn was a wreck from the horses walking around. Luckily no horse got into the feed and none were hurt.My mare, Luna might have been covered by the stallion. So this morning we are dealing with the choice of whether to abort or not the possible foal. We are looking into the side effects of the abortion choice verses the cost of raising another foal. This is not the way to start off the new year.
UPDATE: We learned about the shot of Prostaglandin vets give cows and mares to stop a pregnancy. We talked to our vets, trainers and horse friends. It causes severe pain for the mare and she might colic from the pain. So we decided to let her keep the foal if she is pregnant. We will know for sure in 20 days.
