Around 11- 12 months. If a mare is pregnant for the first time, then she may carry her foal longer. They can also carry the foal slightly longer if it is a colt versus a filly.

Gestation, or term of pregnancy, in a mare is approximately 340 days but can be anywhere from 330 to 350 days. That's about 49 to 51 weeks.

The average horse is pregnant for about 11 months. This will add up to be about 56 weeks. Give or take a week.

What is gestation of horse?

Usually, the gestation of a horse is 340 days. The actual gestation time is up to nature and the individual mare. I've seen cases where a mare had a gestation period less than 300 days pregnant, and one mare went up to 350 days. Small horses like Falabellas and Shetlands actually are pregnant for 12 or 13 months.
