That one pictures certainly looks like there is elongation going on there as well.  No puffiness, but l-o-n-g !!

Keep us posted!  The pictures are great!

I'm literally stunned and kind of freaking out, also upset that my vet was adamant about her not being pregnant and I shouldn't  take a second thought :(  she should have just tested her like I said to. If she's pregnant I hope it's healthy, I always feed really good but still I would have done so much more. Thank you Diane <3

If she turns out pregnant, I'm sure all will be just fine, as she's in good shape, and you are very watchful, so take a deep breath, and know you've done everything good by her!

This is going to be great to follow , Whats making me think she is, is her nipples. Usually ( and I say that very lightly) the nipples of a maiden mare are higher up and pointing towards each other.  There is also def elongation going on aswell in the pics you have posted.

As Diane said , Dont beat yourself up , you have done so much for this mare since you took her into your care. Vets are not always correct and at the end of the day , you know her better than anyone.

Oh wow ok :) Thank you so much Ryan, appreciate your knowledge! I guess the good thing is the wait should be reasonably short because I will have had her a year on June 15 and I don't have any mini studs anymore so in no way could it have happened here. It would for sure be a little mini mule, don't think I've ever seen one lol

I had a mini mule once..... Actually it's one of my favorite Foaling stories to tell....I think I will start a thread on Foaling stories...
Mini mules are so cute and so sassy. If she turns out in foal and gives you a mini mule your going to love it!!

Awww hahaha can't wait to read the story! It could only be a Mini mule if she is because when we picked her up she was living with a tiny mini jack. It was really sad they called to each other as I pulled her away. The people wouldn't give up the jack and the sheriff couldn't force that as he looked to be in decent condition unlike her. They made no attempt to try to keep her, they said she was born with too many problems they couldn't handle. She was an easy fix with proper care. Sometimes I really hate the human race. Do you see any udder change I'm not good at this part lol

I grabbed a couple of pictures and posted in the thread, and I don't know about you, but I see changes!

Me too :)

I agree Suebe, sometimes some members of the human race can be so disappointing. Hats off to you though for taking her in and giving her every chance :)

Diane thank you for grabbing those photos. I think I see what you're talking about! I just took another and also when I went to lift her tail she spun around not wanting me to go there. Took me a few minutes to get her to let me have a look. Usually she could care less so maybe another sign? It's a mystery

Take a deep breath, and continue to watch.  You just never know with these maiden mares!!
