black colt w/white blanket and spots!

He's a cutie. All the mares listed there as being in foal have
foaled within the last year or so (Frostly foaled in 2002). How
often are horses normally bred? Looks like they're all bred to the
same stud.

Broodmares are generally bred on their first heat after foaling. So
that would be once yearly. Takes a horse 11 months for gestation
(more or less)

How many foals would the average broodmare have all together (assuming
she remained in good heath and was producing good foals)?

Mustang Sally



I've never been in that kind of breeding operation. But I do know that
Abdullah's (was the sire of one of my fillies in 1985) mom foaled her last
foal at age 29.

That's amazing.

Abdullah was a trakehner who won a gold medal (team) and silver
medal(individual) in the 1984 olympics in stadium jumping.

Aren't trakehners coldbloods? Didn't know they were used much in
jumping.

To see Frosty's colt walking around now, it's hard to believe he was
inside her an hour ago.

Warmbloods.
In fact, they still have an open registry to allow "APPROVED" Thorobreds
and Arabians in their bloodlines (as do most warm bloods, except most
warmbloods don't allow the arabian registry)

To see Frosty's colt walking around now, it's hard to believe he was
inside her an hour ago.
Yup, he just passed the meconium [x] #3 on his good foal job list

They checked the afterbirth a bit ago, and removed it from the stall. I'm
sure to spread it out for the vet's examination. To insure nothing was left
behind, and it's all intact.
They will give her an oxytocin shot, probably in the morning. but perhaps
after he nurses.
Now if he would just nurse!

The FAQs on the individual brood mares have some general information
on foaling. It says they'll turn the stall lights off when he starts
nursing vigorously, which is usually within 2 - 3 hours. Gotta get
that colostrum, though I'm sure they have a frozen supply just in
case. I thought he was headed to the milk bar a few minutes ago, but
he changed his mind.

Watching this is addicting.
