Well usally in the last couple months. Maidens some times wont get a full udder till after they have had a foal, and there udders are slower to devolope. But mares that have foaled also sometimes do the same thing. So it can be a week, a couple hours or months. But the milk will change colors if u can get any so when it changes to a white milky color, u should get a foal soon. but sometime u still have to wait. but it all depends, no mare does the same things, i have a pregnant mare that i think is pregnant, no bag, small stomach. and she also is a maiden. all horses are tricky though. email me some photos of her udders if u will at ericajo40@Yahoo.com
After the tenth month of pregnancy - the udder will begin to spring, the teats becoming clearly defined. As foaling approaches it will appear quite large and swollen, globules of wax appear at this stage, the mare should be watched closely, as foaling generally occurs within 24 hours. When globules drop off and milk appears, and when the muscles of the quarters sag on either side of the croup, her time is nigh. The vulva will soon distend, indicating that she will shortly come into labour
The floor of the udder is just that- The floor of the udder. The shape of the udder is determined by the medial and lateral suspensatory ligaments. Poor ligaments mean a saggy, mastitis prone, misshapen udder.
Generally, udder treatments are done using a teat cannula...the medication is infused into the affected quadrant(s) of the udder by sliding the cannula into the udder through the openings where milk would normally pass out during the suckling process and the medication would be pushed into the udder via syringe.
Udder 1 three nipples and udder 2 four nipples
No.
No, they will not drop if your horse is not preggo or has ever been preggo.
Some mares are already in milk before the foal is born. It is generally only maiden mares or early foaling mares that take more time for their milk to come in.

Normally, the mares' udder will not fill up with milk until about 3 weeks before she delivers her foal. The udder will begin to swell during part of the day and go back down part of the day. Some mares will not develop milk until a day or so (or even hours) before foaling. If you have any concerns whatsoever, please call a vet. He or she may need to check to make sure both mare and foal are doing okay.
She should have udder growth but there are waxy substances keeping the milk from being leaked out. Some mares get more milk sooner, some later. Some right before they give birth.
Maidens mares are those that have never been exposed to a stallion. That being the case, she could not be pregnant. If you mean a mare who is having their first foal she will generally relax over the rump and the tail will become flaccid. Her udder may or may not be enlarged but if it is her milk color will change from clear/golden to white. First time mares are somewhat less predictable than mares that have had several foals, for this reason it is advisable to be more vigilant than with mares who have a foaling history.
They can be cut any time from when their testicles first drop at about two years to when they are old. I would recommend if you don't want a horse that acts "studdy" (misbehaves badly around mares) to get him cut early as soon as his testicles drop. But if you want him to grow out stockier, a bigger head and neck, then you should cut him a little later about 4 or 5.
Cows only have one "breast," and that is the udder.
When the cow's udder is full and heavy, it needs to be milked.
