Is there any way of knowing if a mare has bred before? Mistys' previous owner thinks she may of had some foals when she was over in Ireland but doesn't know for sure and has merely gone by the size of Mistys udders.
the vulva would be very wrinkled as it would have stretched when the mare foaled. Unlike humans, mares udders dont really changed after foaling
My brother is usually spot on - he looks at their udders - says 'mmmm....' lifts up their tail.....and either says 'never seen the stallion' or 'one or two have popped out of there'.....
Far too much of a lady to ever ask him EXACTLY what he is seeing!!! But he is more often than not right.
