How accurate are pregnancy tests?... having a worry

[cobsarefab]

So, I've had my mare six months And she is very overweight. I did a pregnancy test on her. It was negative. Good went in my merry way. Have now been told that she looks in foal and pregnancy tests aren't accurate help pls?! Pics of the mare:

Hard to tell from those photos, but from previous ones you've put up, I would suspect she's just very fat (which I know you are trying to address)

She just looks fat to me, OP.

Has she still got a "waist"? They usually thicken around the area just in front of the hips about 1/2 way through the pregnancy. If you are worried, it is worth asking your vet to check

Depending on when you do the test they can be pretty accurate. To me, she just looks like a very good doer.

If you're in doubt, the best person to ask is your vet. You can't accurately detect pregnancy from photos, either.

This.

If you're worried get her scanned, it's not expensive. Was she with a stallion?

Just looks obese to me.

Another that thinks judging by these and the previous pics you posted that she is obese rather than pregnant but would get a vet out if I were at all concerned she may be in foal.

For me the horse pregnancy test was spot on, but that is just mine You must use a horse not human test though.
. I agree, you need a vet scan really

Didn't you have the vet out to look at her back last week? I would have thought they would have mentioned it if they thought she was pregnant?

Best way to be sure is to have her scanned, a cost of around £40
