yes, completly...one of our mares went a whole 365 days...and still didnt develop a propper uder until the last minute... another one of our mares was also a few weeks behind, and didnt develop her teats until the day before. the udder and teats can develop very quickly in a matter of hours..so dont worry everything sounds normal....good luck! i hope you have a wounderful live foal.
Their water breaking - this happens just before the foal sac starts to appear in a normal foaling.
Normally, the mares' udder will not fill up with milk until about 3 weeks before she delivers her foal. The udder will begin to swell during part of the day and go back down part of the day. Some mares will not develop milk until a day or so (or even hours) before foaling. If you have any concerns whatsoever, please call a vet. He or she may need to check to make sure both mare and foal are doing okay.
The duration of Almost Normal is 1.5 hours.
It is not a developing country in any normal sense of the word. It was civilised a hundred years before Columbus was born, and has retained that lead.
The earliest a mare can be bred post foaling is during the post foaling heat which occurs about a week after the foal is born. It is generally acknowledged that the mare is less fertile during this heat cylce because the uterus is usually not completely clean and totally involuted (returned to it's normal size). However, if the mare doesn't ovulate until 10 or more days post foaling the chance of a pregnancy is much higher.

Yes, it's completely normal to spot before menstruation. Your period doesn't have an on/off switch, it will start light with a little blood leaving your body and mixing with discharge so can be brown or pink rather than red, this will typically occur a few days before your period starts. It's also normal to get spotting up to two weeks before your period as a result of ovulation.

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).
No. Bleeding for almost 4 weeks is not normal under any circumstances.
Young mares with uncomplicated births (single foal, normal presentation of foal, no difficulties expelling foal or placenta, no signs of infection) can potentially be bred on foal heat, which can begin as early as 6 days post foaling. Breeding on the foal heat is usually only successful if the mare ovulates 10 days or longer after foaling. This period gives the uterus time to "clean" and involute (return to normal size). Older mares who have had a number of foals (multiparous) require more work to get in foal during foal heat and are often bred on the first full heat which can begin as early as 26 days post foaling.
