Ajierene has a spectacular aura about
Many maiden horses deliver late. All pregnancies are approximate, as each individual will differ. It is the same with people and each pregnancy - example, my brother was 3 weeks late while I was 2 weeks early.

Just keep an eye on her - she will lay down when she is in labor. If she goes off her feed and does not go into labor, call the vet (meaning, if she doesn't eat breakfast or dinner and go into labor a few hours after that, something may be wrong).

If she goes another month, call the vet, otherwise breath and relax. I say this now, knowing I will be as nervous as you when I breed my mare for the first time - or any time, for that matter.
