Frage Older horse

What would you say is the age that you would stop breding a horse. We had our TWH bred I think she was 21 .She did not carry .The vet did an ultrasound and said she was pregnant but nothing ever came of it. I was thinking she was just to old. We never tried again. How old is to old to breed?

How old is to old to safely carry a foal? Its going to vary from animal to animal based on their unique conditions. Some horses might be safe to breed in their twenties, stallions are definitely bred when older. Mares on the other hand tend to take it harder the older they get. They may not get back to peak condition as quickly or at all after birth and this needs to be factored into breeding plans.

I am curious as to what happened to your mare? You said that she was pregnant but nothing came of it-did she abort that you know of? I'd have been worried about infection.

Well the vet checked her out and said ,yes, she was pregnant. But she never had a foal. We never knew what happened to it.Guess she must have absorbed it ,if thats what they do.

Something ATE the fetus? What do you mean-when when it was still in the uterus, or after she birthed the aborted fetus? I could understand the latter a lot more.
