The majority party members and the minority party members meet separately to select their leaders. Third parties rarely have had enough members to elect their own leadership, and independents will generally join one of the larger party organizations to receive committee assignments. A party caucus or conference is the name given to a meeting of or organization of all party members in the House.
If the mare does not conceive, she will return to estrus (heat) in approximately 15 days from the last heat shown. If the mare does not return to estrus 18 to 20 days after breeding, a competent palpator or ultrasound exam will provide an indication of whether the mare has conceived. Teasing should still continue. Do not force a stallion to breed a mare to which he has considerable objection. 2  Do not use the stallion excessively as a teaser. 3  The most common practice on large breeding farms is to have a stallion that is used solely as a teasing horse.
If you have a breeding mare or your mare has come into contact with a stallion during her heat cycle, you may want to determine if she is pregnant. The gestation period, or time a horse carries a foal, is 11 months, and mares do not begin to look round in the stomach until the last 3 months of pregnancy.. Have a veterinarian use ultrasound to determine whether the mare is pregnant. An ultrasound requires the vet to insert a probe into the mare's rectum to take pictures that can confirm pregnancy. From 16 days, the pregnancy can be detected, and at 55 to 70 days they might be able to determine the sex.
