Why is a stallion over protective of mares?

Mare suppose to be 10 month's pregnant. Stallion jumped fence and mounted her and they connected. Will this kill baby?

What signs do mares show when they are ready for a season?
When a mare is ready for season, she is considered "in heat" or "in oestrous." A way you can test if your mare is in season is to get a male horse (a stallion is preferable over a gelding) and bring him near the mare. If she lays her ears back and kicks at him, she is NOT in season. If she relaxes, spreads her back legs a little, and lowers her butt, (aka accepting the stallion), she is in season. Side note: Just because a mare is in season DOES NOT mean that she needs to be bred.
Stalions can be safe to turn out with mares to breed?
This is how horses do it in the wild, but most people do not do this because the mare could injure the stallion. A mare's sign that she is not ready to be bred is to kick at the stallion. While kicking happens all the time and is rarely something to worry about, it could cause a serious injury, so it is not wise to do this with a very valuable stallion. You should first introduce the horses over a fence. If the mare backs up to the stallion without trying to kick down the fence between them and lets him bite on her a little bit, then it would probably be safe to let the stallion in with the mare.
