If the breeding is planned the earliest you can tell if the mare is in foal is based on the quality of your veterinarian's ultrasound machine. Better systems can determine

pregnancy at around 10 days post ovulation. Most systems work well at 14 days post ovulation.

If the pregnancy is unplanned (and unwanted) there are 2 options.

1) Have the veterinarian determine the approximate date of ovulation, wait 5-7 days and give the mare a prostiglandin shot. This will disrupt the CL and the mare

will return to heat. If there was a conceptus (pregnancy) it will be disrupted.

2) Tease the mare starting 14 days from when she went out of heat post accidental

breeding. If the mare does not come back into heat, contact your veterinarian and ask him/her to give your mare a prostiglandin shot.

An unwanted pregnancy in a mare can be easily aborted until endometrial cups form at around 35 days, however earlier is better.
