In late spring and summer, an adult mare comes into heat about every three weeks. If she does not have access to a stallion or mates but does not conceive, she will come back into heat again in another three weeks. She comes into heat less frequently during the rest of the year.

∙ 13y agoA mare will lactate as long as her foal is nursing. Most foals are weaned at 4-6 months. Some sooner, some later. In the wild it is not uncommon for a mare to nurse her foal until nearly the time her next foal is born, however long that is. It is also not completely unheard of to see a mare nursing a foal that is a few years old.
