What just happened!?

My mare is 20 years old. Has never been bred. She is boarded on a geldings/mares ONLY barn.

I went to a friend's place today to pick her up for a trail ride. Her stallion jumped 2 fences and broke into the stall where I was keeping her while I waited on my friend.

I got there as he dismounted....

*DRAMATIC MUSIC*

She wasn't even exhibiting signs of being in heat!? How did this happen? He had her pushed in a corner and my friend suggested he must have forced himself on her given the small space and my horse's demeanor (She is smaller and very very submissive.)

Afterwards, she was walking like she had to pee, tail up, legs out. Then I noticed her uh...."expel" fluid like mares do when in heat.

...is my mare knocked up!?

Well what I mean was my vet didn't even check to see if she was even in foal. We were origionally going to have blood work done, but he convinced us it would take care of it either way. We just had the shot done. It cost us about $65 with just a shot.

^^^^^it's because of travel time, living in the sticks has some disadvantages, and nothing ever happens when the vets are in the area. So I learned over the years to do most of my own vet work, and my vet stocks me up on meds when I have to have him out. I can stitch, give shots, treat mild colic, and things like that.
