Rescue filly

Suebe:
So far just to confirm, this is a completely non pregnant udder at this point?

Holly:
Couldnt say pregnant or not by that udder, some mares are completely flat with 2 teats and some have a small flaps like your girl.
But those pics are a great baseline to compare to as the weeks go on.

Suebe:
Oh ok! Being a maiden if she were pregnant would she still get some udder, they don't always though right?!

dcwolcott:
That is totally true.  Some maidens and even some other breeding mares -- although those who have had foals before generally tend to do the same type of udder each time.  But there are several who go without an udder right up to foaling.

This is a great baseline picture as Holly said!

Holly:
Exactly as Diane said. Also some mares make a tiny udder and some make a HUGE udder , so cant go by size much either.
Maidens are especially tricky. Best to update anytime you feel the need and we will do our best to help :)
