no, if the mare has a only a small amount of foals in her life pregnancy will not cause her a sway back. if the mare has has many foals in her time this can cause her to have a swayback. it generally depends on how many foals she has had and what age she had them at. other things besides pregnancy can also casue horse to have swayback

∙ 14y agoIt depends, if the horse is ridden frequently without a build up pad + a blanket pad then it could be causing the horse discomfort. But if it's not ridden then the swayback horse is usaully just fine, if you know the horse is uncomfortable then give it some bute or ask your local vet.

What is the Weight limit for a person to ride a horse?
There is no set weight limit to riding a horse. However, horses can carry 1/3 of their weight. If your weight is more than 1/3 of your horses, you can cause injuries and soreness. And eventually the horse will become sway (its back will curve in) with age. People should choose a horse that is strong enough to hold them. Make sure of this to be sure you are not harming your horse.

What are the years of the horse?
To find the age of a horse in horse years you multiply the horse's age in human years by 3. For example, if you have a horse that is 6 in human years it would be 18 in horse years. You can find a horse's age in horse years no matter what age the horse is in human years. Glad to help!
Can you ride a horse after it gives birth?

What are some indecations that your horse is bored?
If your horse is bored it will be resting with it's hind leg. It will have its ears at the neutral position. It will have its head down and will look like it will be falling asleep. If you want your horse to have some excitement, take him/her for a nice long run. It might start chewing wood if it has just come out its stall. A horse that is bored will chew on anything...crib on any nearby wood, paw the ground a lot, pace, sway in their stall and develop all sorts of unusual habits. One of the habits, they rock their weight from right to left front leg. They will do it for hours non-stop, it can create serious problems with their legs and holves. They will also suck on, or chew, their tail hair. I've seen one do this until he chewed his tail too short for him to reach, before his owner figured out what he was doing. If they are doing any of these things they need serious attention, grooming, play time, any time spent with them that gives them something to look forward to. Also exercise is very important, even just walking on a lead in a different environment will help. Then put some big toys in their stall area for them and work with them for a bit, to show them, they are for play. THen try to watch, without them knowing, and see if they show any interest in the toys and have stopped the bad behavior. This might take several attempts before you see what is really going on, so don't give up. This is very important to the health and well being of a horse, they are social animals and being up in a stable much of the time is stressful. It will chew on wood, will wind suck, and paw on the floor exstictivley.
