Labor in horses can last anywhere from twenty minutes to hours. Generally, labor is quick in horses, lasting no more than forty-five minutes or so. Mares are notorious for being able to 'stall' their labor; they will begin to show signs that birth is to come soon, such as sweating, pacing, kicking or staring at their stomach, et cetera. However they can hold off on the actual birth of the foal for several days, often waiting for their eager human owners to stop watching.
The gestation period for mares is around eleven months, however it is considerably longer in draft horses and other heavy breeds.
