Hi everyone,
This may be a really stupid question, but I was wondering.....are there specific times of the year for foals to be born...what I mean is, would you generally find that foals are born in 2 or 3 specific months of the year?? Or are they just born year round?
The dentist has been today and said that my girl is definitely around 6 1/2....the holes in her side front teeth are still there and he says that these disappear in gradients and are no longer there when a horse reaches 7 and thats probably not going to be until nearer the end of this year. My friend then said that she was a 'late foal'....
Up until now, I have always given her date of birth as 1st April...but apparently thats not right!!
No major deal, just curious! I'm not even sure of how long mares are pregnant for!!
