341 days I think! Although if your horse is the equine equivalent of an Essex girl, it's hard to work out exactly! Blush

He's lovely!

Horses gestation - is it 11 months?

What a cute (but scary) photograph.
Just out of interest and in case of a pub quiz, how long do horses gestate for? I imagine it's a long time due to the amount that needs to be made.
When we lived in Switzerland, a horse on the farm next to us had a foal. DD was in raptures just looking at it. We looked at it a lot.

He looks like he's wearing a Skelator mask!

There must a coven of secret cat feeders
We put the cat on a diet on vets advice, well actually restricted his food amounts
He comes home smelling of tuna, which we dont feed him
He also has had several collars removed
And had diarrheoa which we suspect was the result of being given milk ( he didn't always make it to the litter box )

He is sooo cute, he is dun, (fawn with black legs, mane and tail) and has white speckly patches on his back and a big white face. Unfortunately, when he moults, he will be grey underneath and will eventually go white!

In Thoroughbred breeding you notify the stud farm which stands the stallion and Weatherbys to register the foal. They carry out DNA checks to make sure you have given the correct parentage - to stop people claiming a foal is by a more expensive stallion - and then issue a passport.

He will be staying for a good while. My daughter is going to break him in as a riding pony when he is 3 or 4. He will have to have his nuts off before then though!

It wont mean much to the stallions owners, they just farm him out to do the business!
Will post photos tomorrow.

Its a welsh mountain pony. First foal, but she was fully vetted before hand to check she was healthy and suitable. I dont have any photos yet, I was so stunned, that i forgot. She hadnt moved to her foaling paddock yet, so we have had a mad scramble with the trailer in the dusk to move them!! I had everything planned like a military operation! Confused
It all went out the window!
