The Great Filly Machine strikes again...

Postby Roguelet » Wed Jun 06, 2007 9:26 pm

Our mare, true to form, just presented us with the newest addition to the farm tonight. She's now 7 for 7; all fillies. I don't think she knows how to "grow" anything else! :lol:

I'll post pictures eventually, but you all know how quickly I get around to that, so don't hold your breath... :wink:

Great news! I've got one that's trying to challenge your mare. She's five for five boys so far.

just because it was posted on a different thread... do you happen to know what time of day she was bred? Maybe she needs to try being a morning glory (I think fillies were said to come from afternoon breedings).

Honestly, I have no idea. We've bred at all hours, and I don't remember when her particular cover was. It wouldn't have been the same time every year, though, I can pretty much guarantee that.

I've always had a theory about the uterine pH being a determining factor in this whole thing, and I had a PM from a poster that backed up my theory. I'll let that poster tell her story if she wants to here. Incidentally, I also have a mare who is 5 for 5, all colts.

I will give you a few grand if you can convince all my mares to deliver fillies next year... :wink:

He can only take credit for three of them. The other four are by four other different stallions... :wink:
