Hope not! She's not 300 days yet even lol but if by some way she got pregnant form one covering before she came to me (owners stallion got in) she would be due one cycle before (so June) but based on the size of the pregnancy at the initial scan it was NOT older than what it should have been. Colour will tell becaus he was Tobiano

What color was the other stallion? 

She's definitely cooking, but looks like she has a bit yet...

He's black and white.

This is the scan she was 21 days I think I would assume at nearly two month gone the scan would have looked a bit more like a foal

If she goes by the book she looks to be right for 300 days but we all know these girls like to right their own copy!

When we were doing scans of our mares, our vet was able to do a measurement of the ... femur? ...  I think.  If she could get a good angle.  Then, based on that measurement, she was able to guesstimate how far along the mare was.  We had one mare that the measurements (3 scans) never matched my breeding dates.  She foaled based on my breeding dates - but a really TINY baby.  She made up for it though and matured almost as tall as her sire.  She was a first foal for that mare.

As to the colors - all 3 of the horses are black based w/ two carrying bay.  That means that if the foal isn't buckskin or pali, w/o spots that it could still be by the other stallion...  :(  But time will tell.  I'm crossing my fingers you get your buckskin or pali baby from your pair!! 

I know now that I hate it when there is any ? as to the sire of a foal.  Was quite surprised to find the black and white colt 2 weeks ago.  Our 2 yr old stallion was busy - and I don't have any notes of another fence break out during the time frame would have needed to be?  So - thru our fence?  OUCH...  Also now makes me wonder about our chestnut tobi filly - will be having her parentage tested before we do papers - may have to do another amended stallion report.  GAK.  May turn out that our 2 yr old black tobi stallion is the sire of the chestnut tobi filly as well!

Have started bringing charm in now. She's 2 weeks off 300 days but I think it's time to get her used to it. Also gets me used to waking up at night to check as I set my alarm for once a night. Will up that to twice next week then at 300 days every 2 hours

Well keep us posted with pictures!!  When they really got close I used to sleep in the stall with the tricky ones!  Their movement when they "dropped" for foaling would wake me up, always in time!!  Never had one foal standing up -- I guess that would have been something to think about, but my girls were always laying down for birthing.  Good thing!
