#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have a Canadian mare, 15 hands, that we bred to a 16.3 stallion. I would be carefull on the size because on the delivery it was tough. The foal's shoulders were large and stuck into the mare, so I had to help her which is quite unusual for this mare. Also she did not eat for 2 days after delivery.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#During the pregnancy, I kept a closed eye, not to feed her too much and even at the end I had to cut back because baby was really big.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#So for you mare, I would not go over 16 hands stallion and don't choose a too big one.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Leena#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
