My vet did tell me that they had a mare (friesian) who had NI with her first foal, not common but "can" happen. I just had an NI foal (friesian dam, andalusian...
In my humble guessing, immunization of the mare after coitus could be a possible explanation for this situation (i,e, NI) being able to also happen in maiden...

So I have a concern about my 20 year old Holsteiner mare that foaled on May 10th. Everything seemed normal with the foaling only taking 20 min and the foal was...
Any antigen can cause an immune response...in people the D antigen is most common. D makes a good example. If you do not have D antigen on your red cells you...

I have two young stallions: No. 1 is 4 and had half-a-dozen mares last year. He is VERY keen (to the point where he will try to jump a solid block/timber...
I have a colt who is four days old today. His penis has spent very little time within its sheath, though it does retract. I am worried that something could...
Janet, How much time elapses from the time he makes contact with the mare until you give up? Have you tried backing the mare into him? Harold Parker Camarillo...

Don't worry. A newborn penis looks like the ' BLOB" erupting from a sheath . It is not abnormal. It is not overlarge, ( unless it is the same size as adult...

Ah - thanks Holly - will try that. This chap won't kick - and very good about being handled around the sheath etc as he had a very nasty and protracted...

Thanks Harold - that's basically what we do with this chap though can't take him out of the covering yard as the gate is up the mare-end (a slight design...

All I know is that frozen semen might still be a bust even if there is excellent progressive motility. Does he have to leave the country before you know...
