This can be found out through rectal palpation, which is not for the squeamish nor the faint-hearted. First, put on some plastic shoulder-length gloves. Then, gently shove your hand into the anus of the mare. Once you are elbow-deep, feel around the floor of the rectum for an abnormal hump. This is the fetus that the mother carries, and can easily be detected after a couple months of pregnancy. Do not insert your hand into the mare's vagina, or you may damage her delicate reproductive system, thus potentially causing an abortion of the fetus.
