No, she will most likely deliver a dead foal. Unless there are foaling complications, she will live.

How long can a mare lactate before foaling?
A mare may lactate days or even weeks before foaling, but this can be a serious foaling complication. A mare's first "milk" isn't milk at all. It's called colostrum and it contains the foal's immunity to disease. Some mares may leak a little colostrum before foaling. Usually the foal is born within about 48 hrs. If the mare begins to leak large amounts before foaling, you may need to be prepared for a complication after the foal is born. If all the colostrum has leaked out, there will be none, or not enough for the foal and the foal may become sick and die. A veterinarian can do a quick stallside test to see if the foal has eaten enough colostrum to give it the immunity it needs to survive. If the foal fails the test, IGg may be given to the foal orally (within the first 24 hrs) or thru an IV to save it.
How many young does a horse produce?
A mare can have about 1 foal a year for every year past maturity. Depending on the breed, horses mature at anywhere from 3-5 years old. Many people stop breeding horses when they get to be as old as 20 because it can be hard on the mare's body.
Can a mare abort one twin and the other survives?
This leads me to the question of whether a horse can abort her offspring. Be careful how you phrase your sentences, because here your subject is "horse" and the verbs are "be" and "abort." Who is doing the aborting? If it certainly isn't the horse then you need to include the second subject. Remember your English teachers every now and then. They get paid to do their job for a reason. ****Whoever answered this question is very rude and ironically doesn't know what he or she is talking about... The term "abort" is commonly used to refer to a horse having a miscarriage. Yes, it would be the mare's body "doing" the aborting. There was nothing wrong with this question. And, yes, although very very unlikely one twin can survive.
Can a mare give birth to more than one foal a year?
Yes, a horse can have twins. It is rare, and dangerous for both the mare and the foals. A mare pregnant with twins will usually abort both fetuses at about five to eight months. very rarely but if it does happen 1 of the foals most likely will die also there is only a one in 10000 chance that there will be twins :-)) Added: in most cases a vet will recommend to abort one of the twins to save the life of the other. Occasionally equine twins are born without issues, but it is very rare. Both foals can be healthy at birth, and that's common when a mare has twins. If a mare is fed too much while in foal with twins the foals will grow too big and she will lose them and/or die Also if both are born healthy one will have to be bottle fed as the mare doesn't have enough milk for both. It can also occur mare has triples, but it happened only few times (no more then 5) in the world. None of them ended good. ^^
Can a foal die if separated from mother?
Yes, foals are very fragile. If the foal is too young, or experiences too much stress, it can die as a result of separation from its mother.
If a mare gets pregnant before a foal is weaned can the unborn foal die?
A mare has an insticnt and will not I repeat will not become pregnant before the foal is weaned but that is why a stallion that the foal is not sired will try to kill the foal so he can sire another foal of his own.
Howrse how do you know when your foal is going to be born?
There is a message which lets you know your mare is foaling - make sure you have enough money for the vet, because if you cannot get the vet there in time, the foal will die.
Can a horse have three foal?
Not all at the same time. If your question was over the lifetime of the mare then yes, a mare can have a foal every year after puberty and are often still reproductive well into their twenties. While it is not good husbandry to breed any animal every year, theoretically you could get 20 or more foals from one mare if you bred her every year of her reproductive life.

What mating horses do paint horses have?
They could have both a paint mare and a paint stallion. They also can have a plain colored mare or stallion and a paint mare or stallion. However, a reputable breeder will not cross two Paint horses that each have a lot of white. This increases the risk of a pure white foal, which is congenitally lethal - pure true white foals generally die within a week of birth.
Why would a mare hemorrhage and die after giving birth?
the placenta may remain attached to the uterus , you should always make sure it is delivered after the foal has been born. The uterus should also contract to stop any bleeding.
