First i would like to say CONGRATS on your foal!!!!!!!! Well your mare being pregnant lol. YEA!!!


So far i think you are doing just fine. But you could also give your mare mineral blocks for extra protien and give her a little hay. You have all the shots so you are fine. Make sure she is on Fescue grass. Also if she doesnt produce an udder near the end of her term you can get a shot for that.


i have a great web site with awesome people that will be able to help you with any type of question, how and what to feed, baby training, questions you have through out your mares pregnancy.


http://www.equine-reproduction.com/board鈥?/a>


theres the link to all the topics. if you clink in one that you think that will help you then there will a lot of started ones. you can start your own by scrolling down and then clicking new thread. you will need to become a member but thats easy. Good luck and hope to see you there. im waiting to see if my mare is pregnant. she would be 8 months. she is getting checked in two months to see for sure.


Oh also every one in the board has raised horses so they know exactly what they are doing and give exaclent advice!


GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY FOALING TIMES!


oh and a normal gestition isnt 11 months. i thought it was till i went on the borad. it is from 320 to 370 some one on the borad had a foal a couple months ago and she went to day 433 isnt that long!


Hope to see you there!!!
What did your vet recommend? That's always the best place to start. ;) Was she just now checked in foal? Another ultrasound (or more!) along the way is nice to insure the mare hasn't absorbed and that the pregnancy is progressing well. I always have two done - one to check in foal, and one to make really, really sure there aren't twins in there (I'm paranoid, I admit it!) and to be sure the baby is still in there and progressing normally.





The mare should stay on her regular worming schedule. Vaccinations are the same except for the rhino - she needs to get the *killed* virus vaccine at 5, 7 and 9 months. The regular rhino shot is not suitable for pregnant mares. Her nutrition needs don't change much until the last trimester. Without knowing what she eats now it's hard to recommend any changes.





The book 'Blessed Are The Broodmares' was a godsend when I had my first broodie. You definitely need to know what to expect and when the vet needs to be called well before the due date.





Hopefully you've got some experienced back-up ready to give advice and help with the baby.
im so jealous!
worming and vaccinations you should get advice from a vet. other then that sounds like your doing a great job. good luck.
Just cause they're cuter than buttons but don't let the colt get away with biting or kicking, it isn't as cute when he still does it at 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... and on and on.
since this is ';your'; first foal, make sure to discuss with your vet the ideas that you have questions about, and what you have researched. write them down. when your vet comes out again, run these ideas by him. he wont have alot of time to answer evrything, but may be able to give you advice or literature with FACTUAL information that is safe for your new foal. I'm sure you will get alot of good advice here, but how will you know for sure, unless you run it by your vet. best of luck!!
Deworm her every 2-3 months (possibly as often as every six weeks if you are in a heavily infested area) rotating wormers to prevent resistance. Vaccinations vary depending on the diseases that are more predominant in certain areas. Generally, you want to vaccinate about 2 months before the due date so the mare has time to build up immunity that can be passed on to the foal via colostrum. Broodmares need at least a 14% feed with plenty of forage and possibly swapped to a 16% nearer to partuition. After foaling, the mare will need to be kept on a 16% feed to maintain her weight and produce enough milk for the foal. As soon as the foal is born, make sure to dip the navel in iodine solution to prevent joint ill. Then leave mom and baby alone for a couple of hours to bond and for the foal to nurse. Shortly thereafter, begin rubbing baby, picking up feet, possibly even running clippers around it to begin imprint training.

  • Can anyone give me tips or advice, or want to help me out on a free sports site?

    I created a sports discussion site that has live chat, message boards, articles, and stuff like that. I made it with free membership thinking it would do very well, but it has been a little slow. I was wondering if any sports fans out there are interested in helping me? It can be by sharing your sports knowledge with article writing, your advertising experience by helping me get more people to join, or even just joining yourself. Any tips you can give me would really be very much appreciated.





    Even if you just register and never come back, it would boost my morale to continue with this project :). Thanks in advance for your help or advice!

    What is your goal with the site? Are you trying to make any money or is it purely just a hobby site. I have a couple of hobby sites that ended up making me broke because the maintenance fees caught up with me. I highly suggest at least passively promoting some kind of affiliate program to help off set your expenses. One of the best I have found is this: http://www.marketingtips.com/sr/t.x/1355417

    Does anyone have any tips or advice on dying/coloring locks?

    I love my shoulder length locks which I started wearing about 3 years ago. I've been thinking about adding color to them, something semi-permanent. My natural hair color is a dark brown and I'd like to stay dark but i just want something that will stand out a little more while in the sunlight. I know a professional would be best but I'm really down for trying to do this on my own. Can anyone recommend any of the top over the counter products, tips, advice, websites, personal experiences, etc. on dying hair/locks.Does anyone have any tips or advice on dying/coloring locks?
    First and foremost I would suggest going to a beauty supply house. Not only do they have people who can assist you but they have a wide variety of color lines and choices.


    Secondly I would suggest using a neautral protein filler on your hair because it will help the color bonds ';stick'; better to your hair.


    Third if you choose to go to a place such as Wal-Mart I would suggest going with Natrual Instincts, they have permanent color but over time the color does wash out. I have used Natural Instincts multiple times in combination with a filler and have been very happy with my results.





    Good luck!!!Does anyone have any tips or advice on dying/coloring locks?
    Nothing will stand out in the sunlight if you have naturally dark brown hair. You will have to strip (bleach)|out the locks that you want, and then dye them the color you choose.( This color should be lighter than your natural hair color.) A strawberry blonde might be catchy.Anything darker will fade out. Not entirely, but you will notice the difference.After you strip your hair, it is usually harder to maintain a darker color.Last but not least, trim often and deep condition when necessary.

    Ok i need some tips and advice on building muscle?

    Ok so I am in 7th grade. My sister just got into highschool and it turns out that highschool does swimming. :O. When I get into highschool and start doing swimming I don't want to be bulging with muscles but I want to have a six pack (like I said not a bulging one lol) and more visible upper body strength. I've been working out pretty good the past week but I need to know if anyone knows different types of excercises for upper body strength and abs. Also I would like to know if you guys think it is possible to reach this goal at my age?Ok i need some tips and advice on building muscle?
    It depends largely on your genetics and your current health and physical condition. Some people never can get a sixpack no matter what they do.





    The best exercises to do are push ups, pull ups, and crunches. There are many different varieties. If you push and do these everyday, you should build muscle and be ready to swim. You also need to change your routine about every 10 days so you keep building. For best results add yoga, aerobics, running and polymetrics every other week. You could talk to a coach to get individualized help. Swimming laps would also be good way to build the muscle and increase lung capacity. See if there is a Jr swim team you can join, many communities have them.





    A key part is nutrition, you need to eat healthy. In other words no junk food, sodas, sugars, power drinks. At your age you need to eat but stick to natural foods and natural fats. (yes fats are good as long as it is a natural fat).





    Don't get discouraged, many young men don't really start developing muscle etc until around age 17. Don't get obsessed either about building muscle, at your age too much can cause long term problems. Do have fun with it and learn what works best for you. Everyone is different.Ok i need some tips and advice on building muscle?
    Well to be honest, the most important part of getting a six pack is how healthy you eat. It's not the size of your abdominal muscles that matters. What's important is that you reduce your fat levels, to make your muscles more prominent. I would recommend to do sit ups, press ups and other exercises. But I would also recommend doing cardio, like jogging, running, etc...





    However, to be honest I don't think trying to get a siz pack will be easy at your age. In fact, it may be unhealthy to attempt to get a six pack or gain muscle at your age. I would just do some body weight exercise like push ups, etc.. and eat healthy. Then once you get a bit older, you can start some more serious training and diet control
    Just run and eat healthier. Also, see if the coach will let you come to practice so you can start early, swimming will burn fat, and build some muscle. To get it to a way you like it your going to have to lift weights, you don't have to lift big weights just the right ones so you get what you want.
    if you don't eat meat, then it will be pretty hard to build muscle

    First time traveling, need tips/suggestions/advice !?

    I'm planning on traveling alone in April for spring break, i want to visit 2 countries, the countries is between Italy, Europe(probably london/paris), Egypt, Amsterdam.





    Now the questions is:


    1. Aside from booking the flight, what should i do for booking a hotel? Is it possible to do it all in one?





    2. How do i plan activities?





    3. I have from the 6-12th, how long should i go for? How long will i need to recoup from jetlag?





    4. I'm not that open, and somewhat shy so what should i be expecting?First time traveling, need tips/suggestions/advice !?
    okay well for one you can book everything u want to do online. go to one of the major websites like travelocity/orbitz and book your flight and hotel at one time. It can often be cheaper. You can also plan activities on these websites. If you are going to Europe you should at the very least go for 1.5 weeks. 6 days is not enough, 2 of your days will be spent on flying. Depending on where you are europe is ahead of the states. I am in NY so it is 6 hours difference. Usually you are fine going over there but jetlag when u get back to the states is usually 2-3 days. You will be up so early the next day that you get back and will get tired so early in the night. But keep yourself awake until at lieast 9 and it will cut back the amount of time it will take to get back on track.





    You will need to be more open when you go there, everything is completley different in europe than in the states. always try your hardest to speak the language, u may not do a good job but they appreciate your effort and most know the american language, they have to learn it in school. It is considered rude of them not to know the language in major cities. Try new things even if u dont really want to, this is something u may not always have the opportunity to do so take full advantage.





    good luck!

    What do i do? Tips and advice please. thanks!?

    Ever had that fight between your partner and you just want to call..even though it's not your fault. What do you guys/girls usually do to cope and kill time/days and keep busy. For the record he hung up on me when i told him, ';well then you shouldn't be mad when i go eat with one of my guy friends.'; Thing was he went to eat breakfast with one of his friends that's a girl today and has always hated me because we've been going out for almost three years. We're not in high school we finished. And he came over before he went over her house to just pick up his ipod and leave.What do i do? Tips and advice please. thanks!?
    I THINK ITS MORE THEN BREAKFAST BUT GO SHOPPING TO KILL TIME! TRY FINDING SOMETHING THAT INTEREST YOU THAT IS TIME CONSUMING AND SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON LIKE I DO HAIR OR DRAW/COLOR! IT KEEPS ME FROM BLOWING A FUSE!What do i do? Tips and advice please. thanks!?
    so he's not allowed to have female friends? grow up!
