a broodmare is a female horse or pony used for breeding
A mare that has a foal is called a broodmare.
A broodmare is a female horse used for breeding purposes to produce foals. These mares are carefully selected based on their bloodlines, conformation, and performance to pass on favorable traits to their offspring. Broodmares play a crucial role in the horse breeding industry.
She didn't. She is still alive. She's a broodmare at Coolmore Farms in Ireland. She is 21.
The exact definition can vary between breeds and shows, but in general - a broodmare has given birth to a foal the year in question. A yeld (rather than yield) mare did not give birth to a foal, but is mature enough to have been able to. Typically, these definitions are used with draft horses in particular.
Yes you can if the horse is used to the saddle and a rider. No matter what the previous dicipline of the horse with some exceptions ex. broodmare with a bad back or a mean un-trainable stallion used for breeding you can train a horse to do what you want with it. training a Trotting horse to ride under saddle if not previously trained for the dicipline would be the same as training a green broke horse that has never been ridden under saddle.
A foal's parents are the dam (mare) and sire (stallion).
A broodmare manager is responsible for overseeing the care and management of broodmares, which are female horses used for breeding. Their duties include monitoring the health and nutrition of the mares, coordinating breeding schedules, managing foaling processes, and ensuring proper veterinary care. They also maintain records related to breeding cycles, genetics, and the development of foals. Additionally, effective communication with veterinarians, trainers, and staff is crucial for the success of the breeding program.
Tranquilizing a broodmare to allow the foal to nurse is generally not recommended, as it can pose risks to both the mare and the foal. Tranquilizers can affect the mare's ability to care for and bond with her foal, as well as impact the foal's ability to nurse effectively. If a mare is having difficulty allowing her foal to nurse, it's better to consult a veterinarian for alternative solutions that prioritize the health and safety of both the mare and foal.
Protein requirements do increase slightly with training and exercise but this is insignificant in comparison to the protein needs of a young, growing horse, or a lactating broodmare.

A horses mother is called a Dam. But typically this is only used once the foal is on the ground. Until the foal is born the mare is usually just called a broodmare.
