I've heard of it, too. I'm leary of the shot myself, and down here in redneckville I had a stallion get loose with my mare. We ultrasounded at 15 days and I believe the vet said he could abort her manually vs using the shot? It's been a few years. The person that let the stallion get loose with my mare now has 5 stallions, the original one that got my mare (Off the Track TB), an unregistered APHAxTB (son of the OTTB), an unregistered gaited cross of somesort, another unregistered TB (son of the original), and a TBxTWH/SSH cross. I tried to get something done against her, but I ended up just sucking it up, paying my vet bills, and leaving the barn a few days later. We boarded together, sadly. After the 'stallion' incident the crazy woman removed *one* of my horse's shoes, fed Star about 20 lbs of grain, and stole about 30 bales of hay. We moved that night, and the only time I've looked back is to wonder if I could get the horses she has taken away from her. Why is it that the horse industry attracks the idiots, psychos, and other lovely people? Steph -- "Brutality begins where skill ends."
