A mare can potentially get in foal ten days post foaling, however, many mares will ovulate before 10 days post foaling during their foal heat. It is generally believed that
mares the ovulate before the uterus has fully returned to it's normal pre pregnancy
condition (about 10 days to clean and fully involute) cannot maintain a pregnancy.
If no breeding is done during the foal heat the breeder is aware of her ovulation date, she can be short cycled using prostiglandin 5 days post ovulation and she will be receptive in another 5 days. This would place estrus at anywhere from 16 to 20 days post foaling.
If the mare is not short cycled she should return to estrus naturally 14 days post foal heat ovulation at 20 to 24 days (approximate).

A mare that is put in with a stallion can become pregnant almost as soon as she goes into heat, which can add to the amount of unwanted horses. The mare could also hurt the stallion, if the stallion were to try and breed her when she was not ready she could kick one or more of his legs and break them. However mares and stallions will usually get along in pasture breeding situations.
Will a mare foal in the field while running with 2 year old colt due this week?
Yes, she will. She will most likely find a place hidden away from the colt and deliver her foal. If she cannot find a place she may hold off on foaling as horses can stop the foaling temporarily until they feel safe. It would be best to remove the colt from the field after she has foaled as he will try to breed with her as soon as she goes into her foal heat.
