A mare or jennet will come into heat - called foal heat - seven to ten days after foaling. It is not recommended that she be bred now, but it does happen. Instead, wait another month until the following heat cycle.

Yes but most pony stallions aren't interested in jennies so you might have to use AI. A good jenny and a good stallion will produce a good hinny but there is always a higher risk of spontaneous abortion than with mules so you might have to try several times to get a foal. Choose a sire no more than 2 hands taller than the jenny and go for quality. Having a hinny foal will increase your jenny's value.
