Want to terminate mare's pregnancy. Am told she can absorb her foal. How does this happen?

If the mare has been pregnant for less than 35 days the pregnancy can be terminated with the use of a single dose of prostiglandin. Essentially, this will disrupt the corpus luteum (primary producer of progesterone which maintains early pregnancy) and the mare will return to estrus in 5 to 7 days. The conceptus will pass out through the cervix during the heat cycle.
If the mare is 35 plus days in foal multiple doses of prostin will be required and often these mares do not return to estrus due to the formation of endometrial cups even if the conceptus is aborted.
Aborting a mare farther along in her pregnancy is more problematic but can still
be done.

Does a horse become less aggressive with pregnancy?
Each mare is different but most mares do not make significant behavioral changes because they are pregnant. Mares that are nervous or aggressive before pregnancy will very likely be the same way when pregnant and some behaviors may become intensified once the mare foals and her protective behavior kicks in. Like the old "wives tale" that a dog should have a litter of puppies before she is spayed to make her a better pet...mares with behavioral problems will not improve merely through pregnancy and foaling.
Hormones to help with pregnant mares?
The primary hormone used to maintain pregnancy in older mares is progesterone or the synthetic version of it, regumate/altrenogest. This product is used to great effect in preventing EOD (early embryonic death)and a subsequent return to heat due to prostiglandin release due to illness, injury, inflammation etc. especially when pregnancy is being maintained by the primary CL alone. Can be used with anti-inflammitory drugs during transport or when injections that may cause inflammation are required for mares that have to be moved during the early stages of pregnancy. Can be used in late stage pregnancy in conjunction with antibiotic therapy for mares with certain types of low grade infections to insure the foal reaches full term although foal may be dismature, premature septic at birth. Some farms have mares on progesterone therapy as a safeguard. Oxytocin, Prostiglandins can be used to help with the foaling process, milk let down etc.
