Mares can have a false pregnancy where they will mimic pregnancy and preparation for foaling. Those mares will have mammary development and in some cases secrete or stream a fluid. Also, certain feeds will contain estrogenic compounds that can stimulate mammary development. Since this is not a normal circumstance, you should contact your veterinarian and have the mare examined.
