I was browsing through some of the entries for the Tattersalls sale and noticed some mares who had been covered by stallion A on a certain date and then stallion b at a later date.
Can anyone advise the reason for this? And also from the subsequent foal is there further testing to establish who the sire is, prior to registration?
Always learning!! Thanks in advance

I can only assume that the Mare had NOT 'Tested in Foal' - to the first sire ...
So she was then put to the Second Sire. Although, why there then needs to be notification of the first failed impregnation, I do not know. It does not take at all very long to determine whether a Mare has 'taken' - or not. TESTS. 1 Put your mare in with a stallion around 14 days after they have been covered (bred) with a stallion. When you are checking mares for pregnancy, their behavior toward the stallion may change. If they are pregnant, they will ignore the stallion's attention. 2 Watch your breeding mare for signs of heat. Some mares raise their tails, squirt, and become difficult during their heat cycles. If the mare goes into heat 21 days after a stallion has serviced her, she is not pregnant. 3 Call your vet when checking mares for pregnancy, and have them come out to perform a transrectal palpation 16 to 19 days after the mare has been with a stallion. |

At foal registration a blood sample is taken to confirm parentage by DNA
