How far into pregnancy are horses allowed into a field?
In the wild, pregant mares live out in pasture all through their pregnancy. Domestic mares aren't as different from the wild ones as some people think. A mare can stay out to pasture all throughout her pregnancy. They SHOULD be out in the pasture all throughout their pregnancy, or at least have to option of being inside or outside. Most will choose outside.
Is it normal that your colts penis does not drop out of the sheath?
This depends on the age of the colt - under 6 months is not an issue. However, by about 2 years of age the young stallion should be able to protract and retract his penis. An inability to do this can indicate a persistent frenulum, which is the membrane that keeps the penis safely within the prepuce/sheath and should naturally break down as the colt matures.
Donkey colors do not equate directly with those of a horse and I am not seeing the term Liver show up on sites dedicated to donkey genetics. You mention liver and white but donkeys colors are based on body color, point color and trim color so the white may or may not refer to point color.
The black coat color of the appaloosa mare could be aaEe or aaEE. If the mare is aaEE she can only produce a non-red foal. How that will interact with the Jack's color is unknown however, the control of red and non-red in donkeys and horses is the same so if the mare is EE the foal's base coat color will be dark if she is Ee and Liver is a red based color there is a 50% chance that the foal will be red.
If the appaloosa mare is homozygous for the leopard complex gene (Lp) any foal produced will have
appaloosa spotting.
What breeds make up the Saddlebred Horse?
The Saddlebred is now a full blooded horses with a closed registry. But during the early years several breeds were used to form the foundation stock, theses included the Thoroughbred, the Narragansett Pacer and the Morgan.
Why is EMBRyO white and not black does this mean it is a non-viable pregnancy in my mare?
Since I have to assume you are seeing an ultrasound...the answer is no...it is not a nonviable pregnancy...in early pregnancy the conceptus in a horse is a circular ball that looks black in the center because it is fluid filled...as the conceptus changes into an embryo and subsequently a fetus it be comes white because the tissue is hyper-echoic (white) as opposed to hypo-echoic (black) fluid.
Why does your 2001 caravan put out heat spurratically?
Check to verify the coolant level is full. If the vehicle has a engine coolant temperature guage, does it reach and maintain a normal temperature duing vehicle operation? If not have a mechanic check for a leaking head gasket.
Should you start showing at 11 Weeks pregnant?
There is no "should". It's just different for everyone. If it's your first, generally you show later, because your abdominal muscles are still untraumatized by baby. You show earlier if you are thin. Second and subsequent babies can seem to show MUCH earlier, like by 6 or 8 weeks even. A lot of that is bloating......
What is the oringinal purpose the mustang horse was bred for?
Mustangs are a feral horse originally descended from escaped horses brought over by the Spaniards. The Spanish or Iberian horses were bred as riding/war horses. The mustang was further modified in many regions by the introduction of "improvement" stallions (Thoroughbreds primarily) so that they could be used as remounts for the
US cavalry.
What two horses create a blue roan?
It's not necessarily which two 'horses' create a blue roan color as Blue roan is just that a color and not a breed, therefore any two horses with the correct genetics can create a foal with blue roan coloring. Roan is a modifying gene that affects a horses base color. A blue roans base color is black. Both parents should be black and one should at least carry the roan gene. If a horse is Heterozygous for roan (Rr) then it has a 50/50 chance of passing along the roan gene. If one of the parents was Homozygous for roan (RR) then it will pass it along 100% of the time. Homozygous roans are hard to find though. However you can increase your odds of getting a blue roan foal by breeding two blue roans together. There used to be an old theory that said breeding two homozygous roans together would cause the fetus to die in -utero, however this has been disproved. Remember color breeding is not an exact science and you can get any number of colors based on the parents genetics. Also breeding strictly for color is typically detrimental to a breed as color can sometimes become favored over correct conformation.
Is it best to keep my mare in when in heat?
If there are stallions around and you don't want to have her bred then yes keep her in, But if not stallions are near then don't worry and let the cycle pass.
Is foaling in winter a good idea?
The American thoroughbred foaling season begins in January, which means that a good deal of thoroughbred foals are born in the winter months. They do fine in the wintertime, even in colder climates where there is significant snowfall. Of course, one must provide adequate facilities such as indoor stabling to foal a horse out in the winter.
Fillies at the age of four become mares and coming into heat is when mares seem to say to the stallions hey I'm ready to breed! So the age a female horse goes into heat is four just remember foals, colts, fillies, stallions and geldings especially geldings don't go into heat.
How can you tell if a mare is bagging up?
This means that the mare is getting ready to give birth and her milk bag is producing the first milk for the foal. Look for the milk bag to get way bigger.
What 5 things do Muslims have to do before they die?
All Muslims must observe the five pillars of Islam: 1. To believe that God is One, and that Prophet Muhammad (God bless him and grant him peace) was a prophet of God. 2. To fast from sunrise to sunset in the month of Ramadan. 3. To offer salaat, formal prayer, five times per day. 4. To perfom the hajj, a pilgrimmage to Makkah, once in in the lifetime, if the person can afford it and is in good health. 5. To pay zakat, an annual poor tax, if one has enough money and property saved.

Will horses mate if mare not in heat?
They can, but usually not. Horses will mostly only mate once the mare is in heat.
What color foal should you have between a blueroan horse and chestnut?
A true blue roan is a black horse with the roan gene. In order for the horse to be black it has to be aa at the agouti site and either Ee or EE at the extension site.
aaEeRn- or aaEERn- the second allele at the roan site is unknown.
The chestnut horse has to be ee at the extention site. Unfortunately, without some
knowledge of the colors of the parents of both these horses it will be difficult to determine the probability of color.
We do know that there is a minimum of a 50% chance that any foal produced will be roan. (If both parents of the roan are roans themselves there is a potential for the roan horse to be RnRn.) If the roan parent is RnRn any foal produced from this mating would be roan.
We also know that, if the blue roan is Ee at the extension site there is a 50% chance that any foal produced will be chestnut (whether with or without roaning). (If either of the blue roan's parents were chestnut we would know that the roan parent is Ee.)
We know that the blue roan is aa at the Agouti site, but without further study of the
chestnut's parents, grand parents and her and their offspring it would be difficult to know if the mating could produce a Bay (A).
If the chestnut parent is Aaee 50% of the non chestnut foals will be Bay and 50% will be black.
Hope this helps.
When a horse is giving birth what is waxing?
waxing is when a few days before a mare is about to foal she will have a kind of waxy stuff coming out of her udder it will help let you tell when she is ready to foal this most likely will happen a few days before foaling
The term 'color breed' is really a misnomer. 'Color breeds' include Pinto, Palomino, and Buckskin among others. All of the horses that are registered with the color registries are typically purebreds from other breeds that have a specific color and qualify to be registered with a color registry so that they can compete against horses of the same color. They are not true breeds as they are (Typically) not required to prove parentage or have purebred status, they just need to have a specific color, and possibly a specific build to be registered. There are two exceptions to this though, the American Paint and the American Appaloosa, both of these registries require all foals be DNA typed and have approved / registered parents. They will not penalize a foal or adult horse for being a solid color instead of 'colored'.
You should start in your farm yard. the you should go to your county fair. And if you are very go you could go to your state fair
Can you breed a gemsbok with a horse and what will the foal look like if you do?
You could, but no offspring would be had because a gemsbok, being an antelope of the Family Bovidae (related to domestic cattle), and the horse being of the Family Equidae (of horses), are quite unrelated ungulates, and no offspring has ever been naturally created between such distantly or unrelated animals before.
