This will give you the dates to schedule
ultrasound/palpations, worming, and vaccinations !


Currently, the earliest that an Ultrasound/Palpation
can detect a pregnancy is at 14 days/2 weeks:
(but checking at 17 days is better in case you have to re-breed)
/  / 
The second Ultrasound/Palpation is now scheduled
for detection of the heartbeat at 28 days/4 weeks:
(but the beats can be detected anytime after day 24)
/  / 
Give a TT/Flu/SS innoculation and coordinate the timing
of 8 week purge worming schedule (if out of alignment)
now at 3 months/84 days/12 weeks:
/  / 
1st Rhinopneumonitis and purge worm
at 5 months/140 days/20 weeks:
/  / 
2nd Rhinopneumonitis and purge worm
at 7 months/196 days/28 weeks:
/  / 
3rd Rhinopneumonitis and purge worm
at 9 months/252 days/36 weeks:
/  / 
Give TT/Flu/SS innoculation to booster antibodies in the mare's colostrum.
Do last purge worm and now start giving a daily wormer; (this will
decrease scalding of the newborn foal) at 10 months/308 days/44 weeks :
/  / 
Start watching for the bag to be waxing up;
based on 336 days/48 weeks:
