  • Anyone had any luck predicting when a mare is close to foaling using her temp?

    I am wondering if anyone has had success with the drop in temp method of predicting a birth in mare (horse). I know this works with dogs (have a friend that breeds show dogs and regularly uses this method to predict whelping with 100% success) I have read it also works in mares to help pinpoint when she is within 12-24 hourse of birth. A horses normal temp ranges between 99.5-101.5

    If anyone has used this method succesfully how much of a drop are we talking about? Any info on this would be great I am having a hard time finding the info on the net.

    Thank you
