In the wild, pregant mares live out in pasture all through their pregnancy. Domestic mares aren't as different from the wild ones as some people think. A mare can stay out to pasture all throughout her pregnancy. They SHOULD be out in the pasture all throughout their pregnancy, or at least have to option of being inside or outside. Most will choose outside.
A nightmare (night mare - mare being a female horse)
Mares typically stay pregnant for 11 months, but may give birth up to a month early or late.
PMU (pregnant mares' urine) What happens to PMU mares?For approximately six months from fall through spring, the pregnant mares live in the "pee barns," forced to stand in stalls with urine collection devices strapped to them. The stalls are deliberately narrow to prevent pregnant mares from turning around and detaching the collection cups. In the last month of their eleven-month pregnancy, the mares are put out to pasture to have their foals. The mares are put in a herd with a stallion, so they quickly become pregnant again. In September, their foals are taken away from them to be sold, whether or not they are fully weaned. The next month, they're back in the barns and the cycle starts again. The organization that represents the interests of the PMU ranchers, the North American Equine Ranching Information Council (NAERIC ), considers it "a testament to her health and strength" if a mare can have a foal each year for 20 years. Currently, approximately 7,000 PMU mares live on 73 contracted ranches in Manitoba, Canada. The minimum stall width specified in the regulations­ -- even for the largest draft breeds so commonly used -- is a mere five feet. A typical PMU ranch consists of a small family and one hired ranch hand responsible for feeding, cleaning and exercising nearly 100 pregnant mares at a time. All the mares stay in a rectangle stal from there chess to there rear end and or flanks
A foal is usually only called a foal for a year. Then they are called yearlings.
Some do and some don't depending on rate of maturity. Many mares that are not ready to breed will come in to heat once a season and produce a persistent follicle (one that doesn't ovulate). They may stay in a prolonged heat or may not cycle.
There is a lead mare, the mare who leads the herd and guides it. There is the stallion who protects the band and follows behind, keeping the mares in line. Then there are three to five mares who follow the lead mare and stay in front of the stallion. When the colts are two to three, the stallion kicks them out so that he stays in charge. The fillies stay in the band.
controlled results stay the same in an experiment
A foal will sleep wherever it's mother is whether that be in the stable or pasture. It will stay with it's mother until it can eat on it's own and is weaned away from her.
Nomadic herders are limited to where they can graze their animals, and cannot manage pastures because there really is no such thing as a pasture. When the grass is not there, they have to move on; they can't stay in one place.
