Question
Hi My mare was bred the end of may. Without a vet how can I tell if she is pregnant she is becoming quit wide in the belly .
also when can you feel a foal move inside the mare

Answer
Hi Anita,
          The best way to find out if your mare is pregnant is to have a Vet palpate her. At this point she would only be  5 months along and there is really no other way to know. While it varies on when you can feel a foal move, the average time is from 7 months on.
