No pregnancy.Back in Ireland the vet treated her with a product to clear her tubes. The mare got pregnant to a cover by a stallion in Kildare.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31715509/covering-query?post_id=561176767#561176767With one of my two mares she was in France for months, covered a few times by the chosen stallion.
