A 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.
