Pregnancy?
Paris pictured above was covered on March 26th, 2009 and Bunni pictured below was only covered once on May 22nd 2009. We did not check either mare for pregnancy as both are used heavily for beginner riders. We actually hoped neither mare would be in foal. The day Bunni was bred, Raven had already covered 2 mares. Both mares are putting on weight and looking pregnant. When Mike looked at Bunni today he actually stated, "we have 30 horses and I can't keep enough riding horses because they keep having foals! Next year we are NOT breeding the walkers or Paris." I really didn't think either mare settled but they are both putting on weight. Below is Bunni with her first colt, Onyx who is now in Canada.
