AnswerThis is not the method used to learn if your mare is pregnant. A veterinarian can do an ultrasound to make sure your mare is not carrying twins, which would be bad and to make sure both mare and foal are doing well. The fact that she is becoming aggressive towards the gelding is an indication that she may be pregnant but your best bet is to have a vet check her.
