Answer
Hello Maria,
thank you for you question. Although I am not a vet and answer mainly questions about horse's feet, I feel comfortable, from what you describe, to agree that it may really be a good thing to have the vet come and have a look at your pony. The vet will best be able to tell you whether you pony is pregnant or whether something may be wrong with her. Even if she is JUST pregnant, you still want the vet to see her since he has to make sure that everything is ok with the baby.

So, your instincts were great, yes, getting the vet's advice is the best thing to do here.
