ok my 20yr old mare, we resuced her shes soo skinny, but she has a huge belly! she was a brood mare for a long time. but skinny with a big belly does not look right? is she pregent? idk some help please our vet is coming out on friday, but I wanna know sooner please help?

I have heard if horses are mal-nurished and don't
eat much or at all then they can get bloated stomachs.
Just like children in africa, they are mal-nurished and
have bloated stomachs, same applies to horses, so
that is what I have heared.

But the chance of pregnancy isn't low, you mare
could possibly be pregnant. But i'm not sure what
age broodmares could get to based on their
biological clock.

thanks!! She eats alot, but I think it might be a bloated stomach thank you so much

No problem But the vet should
still check her to make sure there
are no extra problems

I would have your vet check her out but worms can cause a bloated stomach look.
