Nice to see some Onager breeding. I hope this is the first of many, do you/anybody know if this female is one of the ones imported from Sweden/Netherlands?
 
I thought that mare looked enormous on Sunday - I was just a few hours too early. I hope that more will follow.

We thought a couple of them looked huge as we walked past late Sunday afternoon.

But then as we only see them once a year. It's not the best indication that anything is coming soon.
 
Great news, when was the last onager foal at Chester?, must have been a few years now.
 
The last one to be reared was 2004. There were no more births until

2009 1.1 DNS
2011 1.0 DNS

The latest baby is the 24th onager born at Chester since breeding began in 1979. There were also 8 onager x kulan births between 1969 and 1986.
