...He said to bring her back April and he’d give her a shot and wait so many days and breed her and wait 14 days and US her again. I told Hal we needed to do that. Already paid the stud fee...

What I ended up having to do to Truly to get her to stick the first time was to have her infused with an antibiotic solution for 3 days in a row, then gave her a shot of leutalyse to make her ovulate and then bred her. Then I had her ultrasounded at 14 days like he said to see if she stuck. If they don't stick at that point, you repeat the next month and if they still don't stick you might want to just breed a different mare. I spent 2 breeding seasons trying to get one mare to stick and never did, so sometimes you just have to cut your losses. But hopefully that's not the case with Daisy.

He did say that the pH of some horses just didn’t mesh and you would have to change studs. We probably will it the shot doesn’t work. I know she can have them ‘cause she came with Sassy at her side and the stud is proven. He said there was nothing “anatomically” wrong with her, too. Her cycles just haven’t started back for the spring.
She was bred to him last in Oct., so it wouldn’t have been hard to tell if she had been pregnant. ‘Course, he said she could have stuck and lost it already: possible but not probable.
