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.

Can female horses be spayed?

Yes a female horse (mare) can be spayed. It's a bit costly due to the nature of the surgery that must be preformed, but it can be worth it. Many mares really should be spayed to prevent them being bred, especially those with poor conformation or cross bred horses that can't be registered.


What are sterile mare horses?

They are quite rare and are still just called mares, or sometimes spayed mares. Because of the difficulty (and danger) of performing major abdominal surgery on such a large animal, mares that are deliberately sterilised because of hormonal imbalances or for another reason (such as to stop breeding) are usually spayed with a laparoscope. A small cut is made in each side, often under local anaesthetic, and the ovaries are removed but the uterus left in place.

What is a spayed mare called?

In general, mares are not neutered.

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.
