How to Tell if a Horse is Pregnant

Updated December 12, 2023

In this Ask the Vet video, Dr. Gray and SmartPaker Dan talk about how to tell if a horse is pregnant. Dr. Gray goes through the different methods your regular veterinarian has for detecting equine pregnancy, how a pregnancy early in a filly’s life affects her foal’s wellbeing (and her own), and why simply looking at the size and shape of the belly isn’t always a good predictor.
