Mares vary in the number of days they will allow a stallion to cover them. Some mares may breed only a single time, while others may stay receptive to the stallion as much as 10 days to 2 weeks during summer months. The average number of days a mare will accept a stallion is 5.
=no you can not take a mare away from its foal straight after its birth=
The maximum time it should take a mare to foal once she's began major contractions is 30 minutes. Any longer and the foal could be in serious trouble. Usually it should only take 10 minutes for the mare to foal on her own.
A mare takes the foal and keeps it safe until its 8 months old then it can take care of its self. the mare makes sure no horse will hurt it and the mare feeds it:)i hope i could help!!
If you take care of the horse on the day that it has to give birth, but you don't pay for the birthing, the mare will lose the foal and you will lose a karma point. If you do not take care of the horse, it will not age and therefore will not lose the foal until you take care of it. If you do not have enough money for the birthing, you can just leave the horse alone until you raise enough money.
about eleven months, or about 340 days (normal average range 320-370 days)
Make sure your mare will nurse the foal, just take good care of the little guy, let him chill in the pasture, give him or her water... do you get the idea?
A mare is typically pregnant for around 11 months before giving birth to a foal. The actual birthing process, from the onset of labor to the foal being delivered, usually takes around 30 minutes to an hour.
Generally, mares will foa 2-4 days after you observe waxing of the mammary glands.
The mare and foal should remain separated until the mare is completely dry. This could take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month.
The gestation period of a zebra is anywhere from 360 to 390 days. The mare then nurses her foal for up to 12 months.
WEANING. You simply take the mother into one pasture- holding the foal back- and shut the foal inside another. Or you do the same with stalls. Take the mare as far away as possible.
A foal gets his immunity from the first milk from the mare called colostrum. As long as the mare is healthy and current on her vaccinations the foal is good to go for about six months. At this point it is good to consult your vet to see what he recommends but this is about the time (give or take) to start his life-long series of vaccinations.
