Most mares will dry off within several weeks to a month. Some never dry completely. Some that are apparently dry will produce milk again if the foal goes back to nursing. As a general rule keeping the foal from the mare (and if she's a mare that will nurse anything, keeping her away from other foals) for several months is enough. I have however seen 2 and 3 year old foals go back to nursing their mothers. In addition, if the foal is a colt and is more than 6 months old he should be gelded before returning to his mother after weaning as they can be fertile as youngs as 7-8 months of age and have no qualms about who they breed.

After a mare has foaled you will want to wait until the foal is weaned before you ride the mare again. It is very hard to ride a mare with the foal trotting along side, and can be dangerous for the foal. A foal is ready to be weaned any time from 6 to 8 months of age.
How long before a mare can breed after her last foal?
The first heat that occurs a few days after birth is called a Foal Heat. Breeding a mare on a foal heat is possible, but sometimes not the best thing for the mare. As a result many breeders do not breed on foal heat. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
