How would you know if the horse is pregnant?

Answer 1

How to tell if your mare is pregnant:

Another way that you can tell if a mare is pregnant is to look at her teats (udders, milk-sack, whatever you want to call it). If you feel colostrum or "milk", then you can know that she is very well pregnant. Colostrum is like milk, except its not. The mare's body is trying to produce milk, but it doesn't quite know how. I guess that is one way to describe it. Ask she gets closer to foaling (giving birth), it will actually start to feel and look like milk. This way of telling if she is really pregnant only works if the mare is OK with you touching her teats. Because some mares aren't. If she doesn't want you touching her teats, chances are that you are going to be bottle-feeding her foal. She probably won't want her foal nursing if she isn't OK with you handling her teats. The best way to be sure that your mare is pregnant, is to simply visit your vet. Hope this helps!

Also, a mare's stomach can sag, making it look like the mare is fat.

and easier way to tell if your mare is pregnant, before she starts to show, annd if she isn't the most sociable of beings, is to go down to the chemist get yourself a home pregnancy test( for humans). observe her to catch some of her urine, and perform the test. the hcg in human and horses is the same, so the test shall read positive if indeed she is pregnant.

Answer 2

You could do an altra sound. and there is another way to i just don't know what it is. If the mare does not go into heat again and it is the season for it, she is pregnant. Also, she will not be receptive to the stallion anymore if she has already taken.

Answer 3

Yes, my horse is gelded. But he is what is reffered to by horse people as "proud cut," meaning he is a gelding that thinks he is still a stallion and still acts like one.

Answer 4

a gelding will have no testicles while a stud will. but a gelding may still act like a stud if he already knew the behavior before he was gelded

Answer 5

Well you tell the same way you'd tell if a dog was a boy or a girl....bend over and have a look. Just don't get kicked in the head while doing so. :)

Answer 6

The boy has a penis, the girl doesn't, simple.

Answer 7

The horse with the penis (stallion) will be on top and most of the time inside the horse without the penis (mare).

Answer 8

You can see the horse's genitalia when you look at it. A female has a vulva under her tail and lacks a penis.
