I figured out what Rocky is doing. He's cribbing on the trough:(. I've been taking his cribbing collar off him when he's locked up in his run. It was rubbing a bare spot on his polls. Everythink, or so I thought:), in his run is fixed that he can't crib. I guess he just discovered the trough. He was cribbing on it so hard, that everytime he did it, it pulled it towards him a little bit. I put his collar on him for now, but I will probably switch out his tough with a smaller lower one that he can't do that on.
Once I've got my suspicions confirmed that Belle isn't pregnant she will go back to the pasture, and I will put this trough between Rusty and Harley.
While typing the above, the vet called. Belle is going in at 3:30 today. She said we need to check if she has some kind of infection????? I didn't ask anything, will wait till I'm there.

Will be eager to hear....
I went through that with my mares when trying to get them bred year-before-last. We had to infuse their uterus with Gentamycin 3 days in a row. That ususally does the trick.
We did that with Farah finally - she carried full term, that's Tuffy's mom, and then for the very first time in her life, bred back witha foal at her side. She was confirmed in foal yesterday, and is back on regumate again.
She's the one I thought maybe was diabetic because she drank so much water. Whether it is that or hormones, the regumate seems to have solved the problem.
