Hii...
My 5 year old mare has just started dripping milk out of her teats. She has previously had a foal about just over a year ago. However, she has never had milk come out of her teats before. I had noticed about a couple of months ago that her teats had got big, but didnt think much of it. Today i took her out for a hack and she was behaving wierd, she reared and just wanted to come back to her stable (which she never does) also she is very quiet. Once we got back from our hack i was grooming her and noticed her teats looked really full so i felt them and milk came out and she was also picking her back legs up at me as she didnt like what i was doing :/ I have lifted her tail up and all under there is looking rather saggy and long! I really think my mare is in foal and if she is she is very close to having it. I will be getting the vet out tomorrow, but i would like to see what other people think please.
Thank you

I only bought her November 2013 her foal was taken off her August 2013 which i know that it had been taken off her early so wasnt fully weaned. So she could have had access to a stallion once she had her first foal
