Re: [RC] Old mares and their foals - DESERTRYDR1

And along with uterine circulation isn't there an issue with uterine 
scarring, in that the more scarring the less good uterine surface for the 
transfer of 
nutrients?  Thus an older mare who is hard to get in foal due to a fair 
percentage of uterine scarring, it would be better to not even bother?  

I remember reading somewhere that uterine scarring is one cause of low 
fertility in older mares, and this actually makes more sense as a cause of 
"less 
than optimal" quality foals than JUST age being the factor.  jeri
