The healthy your mare, the better the out come.

Keep your mare happy and stress free. Stress can cause a drop in their progesterone levels and progesterone is a hormone which helps maintain the pregnancy.

Don't over feed your horse, as long as the mare is getting the proper nutrition there is no need to supplement her with vitamins and minerals.

Proper diet is the key to your mares health and fitness. The health of the mare is the most important factor in conception and carrying the foal to term.

An illness or slight fever may cause the mare's internal system to secrete prostaglandins, which may cause her to abort the pregnancy.

Always use good judgment in transporting your mare, try not to transport her for long distances or in extreme heat.

Be wary of introducing her to other horses who may cause her injury or transmit a disease which could terminate the pregnancy.
