We did figure that out. She's very gentle and looks to be a keeper. Can be saddled but doesn't know anything. Long story short, hubby stepped aboard and she didn't care for it, he let her settle and stepped off. So, for all intents and purposes, I'll start her all over, probably in the Spring...if at all. She's here for my sanity and cheaper than a shrink, so I don't really care.
Still don't know if she's preggers. When I have a little extra money, I'll get her palpated...or not. Just going on as if she's in foal anyway. The other mare is getting really rotund so seems like my mare would be a little more plump, but then again, I've had mares from auctions drop a foal and never showed a bit, a complete surprise.
Just thought an update would be in order.

I like that therapy better, too. But sometimes I have some anger management sessions. Ya just never know what each day will bring. I love horse smell. That's a good way to start a day. Cow smell is good but not like a horse. I am so glad the horse came to you. You sound like you just love horses and have plenty of room there. And lots of love to go around. Keep up the good work. And have fun most of all.

I had a friend several years back buy a quarter mare from an auction, she was a little hay bellied, figured she needed worming and better feed. She started putting on too much weight, cut her back, and low and behold, one morning when she went out to feed, she had dropped a mule foal, lol. All was ok with both, and my friends daughter got a foal of her own to train, not quite what she wanted, but after a few yrs, did "Mule Days" in Bishop , Calif, and won on her.
