Let’s talk about pregnancy and the horses.
First an foremost the horse has to be age 7 in order to start building fervor. In order to build fervor when the horse turns age 7 it has to have happiness of 75% or above. To get happiness to this level you can either ride your horses or place out salt licks for them.  The salt licks give a small boost to happiness over time where riding horses gives the instant boost. Once your horse has reached 100% fervor you can put it within range of another horse that is 100% fervor and as long as they are both awake pregnancy should occur fairly quickly. Some people like to use the pairing method in order to get horses pregnant and others just put certain horses within range of one another and let “nature” take its course.
Once the horse become pregnant it will take 3 days before the bundle drops.  No the last one percent does not last longer than any other percent it just seems that way because we are all excited to see the bundle drop.  Once the bundle drops from the mare be patient as depending on Second Life and other issues it may take some time for it to connect to the database. If the bundle does not drop right away  that does not mean it is not going to drop. Check to be sure you have enough prims to allow the bundle to drop and if you do then just be patient as it may take some time. You will see the mother has gone into recovery even if she has not dropped her bundle yet, this is normal and does not mean you will not receive the bundle, think of it as a difficult delivery but don’t give up the bundle will come.  Once the bundle drops and you see that it has connected you can move it out from under the mare and get ready to birth it.  DO NOT open the bundle you will break it!  All you need to do is click on the bundle and when the blue drop down menu appears on your screen choose the Birth option from that menu.  Congratulations you are now the proud owner of a brand new baby foal!
I have noticed there are a lot of people who are just getting into the horses and I would like to call on all of you experienced Breeders/Owners to welcome them into the Amaretto Community.  When you see a person asking questions in the Ranch group take a moment to remember what it was like when you got your first horse and all the questions you had then.  Hopefully a moment of reflection will inspire you to reach out and help and in doing so bring joy into another persons life.
