Mares in heat

["Kris Hazelbaker" <shajarah@cybrquest.com>]

Lif,
>that the chances of the mare being in foal are inversely related to how
much you want the foal
That HAS to be a law on the level of Murphy's Law, or certainly a corollary
to it!  And you explained the applications so well!  I have experienced it
first hand, with my yearling (not yet gelded) colt being turned in with my
mare in late November.  Eleven months later, the foal I didn't need
magically appeared.

Do we need to compile some of these laws so that we can all understand how
this horse-ownership works?  After all, we don't want to be caught by
surprise, and we have all agreed how helpful this list is, sharing insights,
"oldbies" helping "newbies", and so on.
