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.
