How can you find out how far along a mare is?
Have a vet or qualified AI technician do a rectal palpation on the mare. They can approximate how far along in gestation she is. It will only be an approximate though if the breeding dates are not known.
How long do horses stay in heat?
Most mares will come into heat every 21 days. Usually 21 days after the day the mare first comes into heat, she will start into heat again, but some mares vary anywhere from 18 to 31 days in their heat cycles. Heat periods are generally longer earlier in the breeding season and many older mares have longer than average heat cycles. The period of time when the mare is fertile and can conceive a foal generally only occurs 24 to 48 hours before the mare goes out of heat.
How do you look after a female stud horse before and after breeding season?
only MALES can be called STUD or Stallion. A female is a mare or broodmare when in foal.
How many times does a cow have to be bred to conceive?
Hopefully only once. A healthy cow should be able to be settled on only one breeding session to conceive a calf. If there are more than one bull present and she is in heat, she will most likely get bred by more than one bull.
What happens if a two stallions breed the same mare?
In a simliar time period, like two days difference, there is a higher chance of the mare becoming pregnant, but she will probably only have one foal as twin foals are rare.
Does breeding a mare to an apposing bloodline contaminate the mare for so many foals thereafter the opposing bloodline was bred to the mare?
No, the only one that will be 'contaminated' is the foal.

How can a couple use fertility awareness methods to conceive a child or to prevent pregnancy?
In the female menstrual cycle, there are only 2-3 days in which a woman can conceive a child. Conception can be facilitated or avoided by not having intercourse on these days.

Hopefully only once. A healthy cow should be able to be settled on only one breeding session to conceive a calf. If there are more than one bull present and she is in heat, she will most likely get bred by more than one bull.
How many times can a horse breed in its lifetime?
Mares cycle every 21 days with the heat cycle lasting for around 6 days. During estrus the mare will accept the stallion multiple times a day or only once in a cycle. Stallions that have several mares to breed and that have experience with a harem may breed a mare once or several times in a cycle. If the mare doesn't conceive the process starts again 14 days after the end of the previous cycle. The stallion protects his harem from other stallions to insure that he is the sire of his harem's offspring. Mares will often accept only their herd stallion in an established broodmare band and mares will also protect another mare from enterlopers until the herd stallion runs the other stallion off. In a domestic breeding enviroment stallions with large books will be bred to a mare once a heat cycle with correct timing based on palpation or ultrasound determining the date and time. Smaller operations may breed a mare every 35-48 hours until she is unreceptive. Mares can be presented to multiple stallions in a single heat cycle but this defeats the purpose of controlled breeding where the breeder/owner knows the genetics of the resulting foal.
Why does a stallion refuse a new mare?
The mare may have a caslicks. The stallion may be large or starting to flower a bit which will make it difficult for him to penetrate especially if she is small. Mare may be tall and not breaking down so that the stallion cannot reach her effectively.
What is the fastest breeding mammal?
The fastest breeding mammal is the bandicoot. Their young are born only twelve and a half days after mating.
Are horses monogomous or polygyny?
Horses are Polygyny in their breeding style. A stallion will mate with any mare in his harem that is in heat, and will try to steal mares from other stallions. A mare typically only mates with the current band stallion, but may wander off and breed with another available stallion.
Are a pack of horses known as a herd?
Yes, a group of horses is called a herd. The herd is generally led by an older mare and is guarded by a stallion, who is also the only breeding male in the herd.
