Woman Gives Birth to a Colt After Just Six Months of Horse-Pregnancy
In a miraculous turn of events, a woman in Amarillo, Texas has given birth to a colt after just six months of horse-pregnancy.
The foal, a healthy male, was born at the Amarillo Ranch and is the first of its kind. The owner of the ranch, Jerry Jones, is understandably thrilled with the successful birth.
"I've been in the business for over 30 years and I've never seen anything like this before," said Jones. "It's truly amazing."
Experts believe that the colt's unusual conception is a result of hormonal changes that can occur when horses are kept in close proximity to one another. The pregnant mare at the Amarillo Ranch became exposed to the stallion's hormones and ultimately conceived.
"This just goes to show you that nature is full of surprises," said Jones. "I'm ecstatic about this little guy and I'm sure he's going to be a big hit with everyone who meets him."
17-Year-Old Girl Has Historic 11th Successful Uterine Insemination Attempt Via Frozen Semen from Her Own Mare
Samar, a 17-year-old Egyptian Arabian mare, became pregnant from her own frozen semen for the 11th time after veterinarians at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) successfully inseminated her on Dec. 6.
This marks the first time a mare has become pregnant using frozen semen from her own stallion and may also represent a world record for most successful uterine inseminations in a single animal, said UC Davis reproductive physiologist Dr. Sue McDonnell.
"We are cautiously optimistic that this will be another successful pregnancy," McDonnell said. "This is an incredibly important accomplishment not just for Samar, but also for the field of equine reproduction."
Since 2006, when the first live foal was born as a result of Samar's frozen semen, nine other colts and fillies have been born to her using either fresh or frozen semen from other stallions. With this latest pregnancy, she has now produced offspring with 11 different stallions.
"This achievement confirms that using frozen semen from one's own stallion is an option that can result in pregnancies even years after the stallion has died," McDonnell said. "It is also impressive that Samar has remained fertile after so many pregnancies and foalings."
The success of using frozen semen from a dead stallion to produce live offspring is due to several factors, McDonnell said. These include the high quality of UC Davis' cryopreservation lab and its ability to store semen for long periods of time; the use of sophisticated artificial insemination techniques; and the close relationship between McDonnell and Samar's owner, German horse breeder Stefan Kühn.
Kühn has entrusted UC Davis with salvaging viable sperm from his prized horses long after they have died. In addition to Samar, whose stored semen has resulted in 11 pregnancies, Kühn has also sent sperm from two other deceased horses to UC Davis for cryopreservation. Those efforts have resulted in two pregnancies so far.
Mare Dies in Freak Accident at Kentucky Racetrack
A young mare dies in a freak accident at a Kentucky racetrack. The horse was running along the backstretch when she suddenly veered to the inside and crashed into the rail. She was immediately euthanized due to her extensive injuries.
The incident occurred around 5:30 p.m. on a recent Wednesday evening. Witnesses say that the horse, who was part of a three-horse trot, started acting up right before she hit the rail. It's still unclear what caused her to change course so abruptly.
This marks the second death at this racetrack within the past year. In March of last year, another horse died after breaking its leg during a race. Officials say that they are currently investigating the latest incident and will release more information once it is available.
Quarter Horse Mares Tease, Torment Stallion to Prove They're Not Afraid
Few animals are as valiant and fearless as the Quarter Horse stallion, but even these muscular horses can be reduced to quivering masses of fear by the mere presence of a mare. Known for their flirtatious behavior, Quarter Horse mares love to tease and torment stallions to prove they're not afraid.
In the wild, stallions use their impressive size and strength to defend their herd from predators, but when confronted with a female Quarter Horse, even the most stalwart stallion will often back down. These mares use their charms to get what they want, and many times that means getting the attention of a powerful stallion.
While it may seem like these mares are just playing games, there's actually a method to their madness. By proving they're not afraid of the stallion, the mare is demonstrating that she's strong and capable enough to protect herself. This earns her the respect of the stallion and helps ensure that she won't be harassed or attacked by him.
Quarter Horse mares are some of the most beautiful and spirited animals in nature, and it's fascinating to watch them flirt and play games with the stallions. These interactions are a reminder that even the most powerful creatures can be brought down by a woman who knows how to use her charm and wit.
