In general, mares are not neutered. If they are neutered for population control or health reasons, they are still called a mare.
A fixed female horse is still called a mare, in general female horses are not fixed unless you are trying to keep the population down.

Female horses are rarely fixed to control breeding as it isn't a simple operation and cost a lot of money. Mares that can be very aggressive or have personality changes due to their seasons are usually put on hormone treatments or have a marble inserted to try and stop them ovulating.
