Approximately 62 days. You can tell when she will go into labor, because she will start nesting behavior and temperature will drop about 1 degree from her normal temperature. Normal temp is usually between 36.5 and 38.5 degrees celcius

When will a mare start to lactate?

The mares udder will begin to get bigger about 3 weeks before she gives birth. It will begin to swell at night and get smaller during the day. Usually, the udder will stay full and large on the day before she gives birth. Colostrum may drip from the teats. The colostrum will dry and form what looks like wax over her teats, which is where the term 'waxing' comes from. Waxing normally means that the mare will deliver her foal within 24 hours but its not uncommon for waxing to occur 2 to 3 days before the mare gives birth. When the little drops of wax fall off of the teats, milk will usually drip out and that normally means the foal will be born within 8 to 12 hours. Like women lactating and giving birth, all mares are different, so these are just general guidelines.
