How far into pregnancy are horses allowed into a field?
In the wild, pregant mares live out in pasture all through their pregnancy. Domestic mares aren't as different from the wild ones as some people think.

Most will choose outside.

Are mares ever spayed?
Yes, mares can be spayed. Every year a few mares are spayed but most mare owners choose to leave a mare intact in case they want to breed her. Mares that are the best candidates for spaying are those with poor conformation, genetic disease's, cross breeds, and those with hormonal problems that lead to aggression and pain.
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.
