What do you call a female horse who has given birth?

Answer 1

This depends on the age of the horse, from when it's born to about 4 years old a female horse is called a filly (prononced fill and then E) After that they are called mares (kinda sounds like mayor).

Answer 2

The pregnant mare horse will probably lie down though it may stand.

The contractions will come. These can be painful.

If the horse has given birth before it will be easier, but if this is her first time it might prove to be harder.

She will start to push the foal out with the contractions. Eventually if all goes well she will give birth to a healthy foal.

If she is having noticeable trouble, CALL A VET. In fact, you should always have a vet on the scene once the mare starts pushing.

If you reach a hand in the mare's rear end and feel hooves, like, RIGHT THERE, than that's a breech birth. That is an emergency, always have a vet. If you feel the foal's head when you reach in, all is probably well.

Now, understand that the pregnant mare is probably in pain. Soothe her. Comfort her. Pet and stroke her. Be prepared for a long wait until the foal is born.

I repeat, always always always have a professional veterinarian on hand.
