Care of the Expectant Mare

The Expectant Mare

We often think of pregnancy as a delicate and fragile condition. When it comes to horses, this perception is perhaps due to the mare's relatively poor reproductive performance in comparison to other domestic animals.

However, in a natural setting, the mare does comparatively well reproductively. Therefore, this seemingly poor performance is due as much to improper management as to any reproductive deficiency. Fortunately, management is something we can control.

As a conscientious owner, you probably have many questions about caring for your expectant mare. In truth, you may be a little worried. Relax. With a little TLC, your mare should progress through her pregnancy without mishap. Proper nutrition, deworming, exercise, and vaccinations will help ensure a healthy pregnancy, and you can look forward to the birth of your foal with greater confidence.

Quality Pasture Equals Quality Youngstock

Ray Smith, PhD, professor and forage extension specialist in the University of Kentucky Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, gave a talk on pasture quality impacts on yearling horses during the second session of UK’s 10th annual Equine Research Showcase Jan. 19.

The session highlighted nutrition and pasture topics appropriate for weanling to yearling horses.

Presenting sponsors for the event included BET, Kentucky Performance Products, McCauley’s, Merck, Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital and Tribute Equine Nutrition.

With information given from research and observation on farms, Smith covered topics from establishing horse pastures, soil fertility and managing horse pastures. He maintains that that good management mixed with good pastures can lead to quality forage for growing horses, reduced hay and grain feeding and a lovely view.

Beginning with stages of pasture management, Smith introduced the concept of establishing horse pastures. Ideal horse... More

The Arabian is not the source of WFFS new study finds

WFFS was initially identified in warmblood breeds, but recent research at the VGL identified a low allele and carrier frequency of the WFFS variant in Thoroughbreds as well (2.4% carrier frequency in the 716 horses evaluated).

The study, an international collaboration led by UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory Director Rebecca Bellone, PhD, screened more than 4,000 horses from 38 horse breeds in the United States and Europe.

200 horses (4.9%) representing 21 breeds carried the WFFS allele. Most of these breeds were warmbloods; however, a few non-warmblood breeds also carried the allele. The non-warmblood exceptions include the Thoroughbred (carried by 17 out of 716 horses), the Knabstrupper (3/46), the Haflinger (2/48), and the American Sport Pony (1/12).

The WFFS allele was detected in 17 out of the 19 tested warmblood breeds, with the highest carrier frequency observed in Hanoverians and Danish Warmbloods (both approximately 17.3%). The allele was not... More

Alternate Sires in Pedigrees

In studying pedigrees, one sometimes runs across a horse shown as being by one of two or sometimes even three sires-- for instance, 1951 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Supreme Court , whose entry in the General Stud Book shows him as being by Persian Gulf or Precipitation. These entries are the result of a mare's having been covered by more than one sire during the breeding season, leaving uncertainty as to which stallion is the actual father of the foal in question.

Convention versus reality

Traditionally, in cases in which a mare was mated to more than one sire during the breeding season, the sires are listed in the order in which they covered the mare, and the last stallion in the sequence is normally presumed to be the actual father of the foal. Since the usual reason for the second mating would... More
