This means that the mare is getting ready to give birth and her milk bag is producing the first milk for the foal. Look for the milk bag to get way bigger.

What do you look for in a horse that you do not know when she was breed?

== == If you are wondering how to tell, #1 if the mare is in foal...if she is, you will notice that her sides, behind her rib cage are widening, also, usually after 5 months or so you can see a invitro foal moving and kicking around, the mares sides will bulge and move from the foal. #2, if you are wondering how to tell how far along the pregnancy is, the best thing to do is be safe for the foal and mare's health, feed her as if she IS in foal (otherwise you will have starved the foal and the mare), free run of hay and/or grazing pasture, and pregnant mare ration. You should watch for he mare's hind end muscles to start relaxing when she is within a week of foaling, then watch for her utter to start filling up, her teets will start to fill out and get hard (you should get her used to you feeling her utter daily once she starts "bagging-up"). When the mare's utter shows prewax (small white dots on utter), she will usually then start to drip a clear substance, either wax or colostrum, the rest is checking her every half hour after these signs have shown. You should read-up and talk to a vet about your noviceness on foaling-out mares, best of luck. ^Badgirl is absolutely right about checking in-foal, but before about three or four months, the foal is so small that it's almost impossible to tell from the outside that the mare is pregnant. If you want to know for sure, you have to call the vet in early stages. I don't know if you're asking how to tell how old a horse is, or if it's pregnant. The easiest way to tell the age of a horse is by looking in its mouth. Generally, a young horse's teeth will be almost straight up and down, whereas an older horse's teeth will slant forwards and become yellowish and more worn-looking. They may also develop a groove known as Galvayne's groove, this appears in middle aged horses but may disappear when the horses become very old. If you want to know if your mare is pregnant, call the vet.
