Pregnant mares should be managed by following a deworming schedule recommended by a veterinarian. Regular fecal testing can help identify worm infestations early. Mares should be kept in clean pastures and their manure should be promptly removed to reduce worm exposure. Additionally, rotating pastures and avoiding overgrazing can help prevent worm infestations.

Pregnant mares should be dewormed at least twice during their pregnancy, once at 60 days and again at 90 days gestation, to prevent parasitic infections that can harm both the mare and the developing foal. It is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the most appropriate deworming protocol for each individual mare.
Mares used for breeding are called Broodmares...if they are pregnant they are referred to as "in foal".
