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.
