Mares (female horse) do not exhibit any obvious sign of abdominal swelling until the final 3 months of pregnancy. Of course, you will be able to make out the enlargement in light framed animals but you will not be able to see the change that easily in large framed animals. The change in mammary organs is usually noticed during the last couple of months.
The horse in labour starts to gain a heavy appetite for food more than the norm, because she has to eat not just for itself but even for the baby. Also a mare which is pregnant, behaves in a manner which is contrary to its usual self.
A horses udder will swell with in the last few days of foal she may become restless as time draws near. I have a tb and wb-xtb in foal the tb has had many foals before since she is seattle slews daughter and my wbs first time she is my tbs filly so we will see what shes like just watch her close and her behaviour
I think my horse is pregnant and I'm gettin really excited but this is what she looks like. Her utter is really big kinda and one side of her stomach is big but then the ither is about medi okre and shes been really calm and not runnin away when I walk up to her, that is not usual for her and a stud {a male horse that hasnt been fixed} lives right across the fence from us and he can jump the fence, I think my horse is pregnant could anyone tell me if they think she might or might not be pregnant??? Please!!! I'm desperate for answers, this is the first time for me
I had my horse served in july, so she would be 7 months pregnant, I had someone out to scan her, however tha lady gave her an internal and said she can feel the horses uterus, so she can't be in foal and she didnt botther to put the scanner on her, my horse is gaining weight around her middle and has had a complete change of personality, sometimes, lathargic, a bit clumbersome to ride and likes to be in stable rather than in field, which is definately not like her. Do you think she could be pregnant, is it common to be wrongly advised after an internal?
My pony has just gotten really big near her flank like her belly is flat but if you run your hand up her side to her flank its like mount everest and then her belly is flat agian
