When farmer Ben saw that his mare was pregnant, he was filled with joy. This meant he would have another horse,which could lead to greater financial wealth if it turned out to be a good horse. After waiting for months, the moment was almost here.
The belly was swollen, and the mare showed signs of being about to give birth. But strangely, she refused to deliver even with a huge belly. Ben decided to go to the local vet to get an ultrasound.
When the vet saw the ultrasound, he immediately called the police. But what was wrong with the mare? And what had Ben done wrong? Let’s uncover this curious case.
As the police also lived in this small town, any action was considered good action. There really wasn’t much to do here; everyone knew each other, and crime was quite low.
In fact, the local police department had practically nothing to do during the day, as there wasn’t much law enforcement to handle, so it was as exciting as any other case.
When the police finally arrived, they helped the vet calm the almost lifeless giant horse. But the police not only assisted the vet; they also came to talk to Ben. “Sir, we need you to come with us, it’s important.”
Ben was in sh.ock. He had only asked the vet to come and help his mare give birth. What had he done wrong? Horse births should be a fairly straightforward process.
Horses often give birth without assistance, and foals usually come out of their mothers already knowing how to walk and gallop despite being born just minutes earlier. Truly, horses are one of the easiest animals to assist in giving birth, and Ben knew it.
Ben answered questions about himself and the mare he had owned since his youth. When he answered all the questions, he heard disbelief coming from the operating room. “I can’t believe it!” said the vet.
But what had the vet found inside the horse that surprised him so much? What left them stunned?
The average conception rate (with artificial insemination) is around 60%, indicating that getting 90% of mares pregnant generally takes two or three cycles.
You’ve already doubled or tripled your veterinary expenses just trying to get your mare pregnant at this rate. Getting a mare pregnant takes a lot of work, making this occasion stressful for Ben.
Found this at a yard sale but I have no idea what it is – Thoughts?
If you want to be kinder to the environment, you may consider washing your clothes by hand every once in a while.
However, not using the washing machine for washing clothes could be time consuming and hard, so there are other alternatives, such as the hand laundry machine. These machines provide the same effect like the electric washing machines but use less water and no electricity. With minimal physical effort, you can reduce the chores on laundry day and save some money, too! On top of that, the hand laundry machines are way less expensive than the electric ones.
Jawad Ahmed, a laundry merchant at The Home Depot explains that “Using a portable washing machine doesn’t have to mean compromising.” Speaking to The Spruse, he added that “With just a smaller load capacity, a compact washer can penetrate deep into fabrics to eliminate dirt and odors, saving you water and energy with the same outstanding cleaning performance as a regular-sized washer.”
What’s great about these machines is that they are portable and smaller in size so you can place them anywhere you want when you don’t use them.
Would you consider giving it a try?
