Yes a female horse (mare) can be spayed. It's a bit costly due to the nature of the surgery that must be preformed, but it can be worth it. Many mares really should be spayed to prevent them being bred, especially those with poor conformation or cross bred horses that can't be registered.

∙ 12y agoNo. Castration is the removal of the testes, or testicles. Mares (female horses) lack these organs, by definition.
Female horses could undergo a "tubal ligation," but there is little point in such surgery, which is generally conducted to permit the enjoyment of sexual activity without the risk of pregnancy. It is far easier and cheaper to simply keep studs (male horses) away from the mares. Also, brood mares are more valuable than sterile mares.
Castration has a calming effect on male horses, it prevents them from reacting to chemical stimuli (mares in heat). There is no such effect from sterilization of mares.
