Another way that you can tell if a mare is pregnant is to look at her teats (udders, milk-sack, whatever you want to call it). If you feel colostrum or "milk", then you can know that she is very well pregnant. Colostrum is like milk, except its not. The mare's body is trying to produce milk, but it doesn't quite know how. I guess that is one way to describe it. Ask she gets closer to foaling (giving birth), it will actually start to feel and look like milk. This way of telling if she is really pregnant only works if the mare is OK with you touching her teats. Because some mares aren't. If she doesn't want you touching her teats, chances are that you are going to be bottle-feeding her foal. She probably won't want her foal nursing if she isn't OK with you handling her teats. The best way to be sure that your mare is pregnant, is to simply visit your vet. Hope this helps!
Also, a mare's stomach can sag, making it look like the mare is fat.
and easier way to tell if your mare is pregnant, before she starts to show, annd if she isn't the most sociable of beings, is to go down to the chemist get yourself a home pregnancy test( for humans). observe her to catch some of her urine, and perform the test. the hcg in human and horses is the same, so the test shall read positive if indeed she is pregnant.
You could do an altra sound. and there is another way to i just don't know what it is. If the mare does not go into heat again and it is the season for it, she is pregnant. Also, she will not be receptive to the stallion anymore if she has already taken.
Yes, my horse is gelded. But he is what is reffered to by horse people as "proud cut," meaning he is a gelding that thinks he is still a stallion and still acts like one.
a gelding will have no testicles while a stud will. but a gelding may still act like a stud if he already knew the behavior before he was gelded
Well you tell the same way you'd tell if a dog was a boy or a girl....bend over and have a look. Just don't get kicked in the head while doing so. :)
The boy has a penis, the girl doesn't, simple.
The horse with the penis (stallion) will be on top and most of the time inside the horse without the penis (mare).
You can see the horse's genitalia when you look at it. A female has a vulva under her tail and lacks a penis.
A horse is pregnant for 9-10 months.
You can ride the mare up until she is five months pregnant.
I guess you would need basic items if you have a horse. A feed bag, curry brush, etc. are good horse items for horse people.
Like any other animals....you have to breed a stallion and a mare.
sea horse
There is a certain breed of horse whoes blood helps cure snake bites, other than that I know female pregnant horse urine is out in a pill for pregnant women
I would say no because once their pregnant they don't go into heat
if it lives out, let it eat as much as it likes GET A HORSE MANUEL
Ultrasound, palpation, hormone assay, and if she's far enough along she'll look pregnant.
Well a gelding is a male horse who can no longer make a female pregnant (if u know what i mean haha)
A horse is pregnant for 9-10 months.
the answer is yes, a horse does bite if she i pregnant, but all horses bight, it doesn't matter if she is pregnant or not, trust me on that, i have had my share of horse bites.
Usually they would not be near the foal, so no.
No usually, once animals are pregnant they will no longer have a cycle.
No not at all because they are carriying another horse so just think of a pregnant lady she would run slower when pregnant
I do not know much about that but i fould some websites that do http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/22438/caring_for_your_pregnant_horse.html http://www.ehow.com/how_2239002_care-pregnant-mare.html
I know of a couple of girls who did not know they were pregnant until they were in labour. So i guess you could be and not know. Although i dont understand how women could be pregnant and not know. You would think they would feel the baby move at some point.
