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.

She will just be called a mare. Unlike a castrated male, which is called a gelding, the name does not change for the female.

A mare. The practice is uncommon enough spayed mares don't have a new name.

Probably, it would only be mentioned if the horse was for sale.
