My husband and I were talking this morning about all the mares going late...

Now you're depressing me! I was trying to figure up Truly's tentative foal date and I'm just not sure. Her last foal date was 330 days from the first time she was bred and 326 days from the last and I didn't know which number to use. This time she was bred over a period of 7 days, starting on 5/16/04 and ending on 5/23/04. She could theoretically foal next week. She was bagged up this weekend. What do you think?

According to my husband (who yells about this to me when I figure dates) figure from the last date she was bred, she would have ovulated in the last 48 hours.

I would figure using the 326days for her. But, apparently according to research at Horse Magazine or one of those, colts will be longer than fillies. Also, according to my husband, add an extra day each time - each successive foal goes a day longer. I'm not sure I buy that :)
