About 10 days after foaling, a mare will have a "foal heat". Although this is not a perfect time (because of decreased fertility and increased risk of early embryonic death) - this is the first time after foaling that a mare can be covered.
a broodmare is a female horse or pony used for breeding
A broodmare manager is responsible for overseeing the care and management of broodmares, which are female horses used for breeding. Their duties include monitoring the health and nutrition of the mares, coordinating breeding schedules, managing foaling processes, and ensuring proper veterinary care. They also maintain records related to breeding cycles, genetics, and the development of foals. Additionally, effective communication with veterinarians, trainers, and staff is crucial for the success of the breeding program.
There is no special term for a horse birth, although it can be called "foaling."

Ideally, foaling takes place in a specially built large stall called a foaling stall. When foaling outside in a herd, mares often separate themselves to foal. A few seek out the company of a special horse friend (usually another mare) or the herd while foaling.
Mares come into a foal heat within a week or 10 days after foaling. In the wild, it's not uncommon for a stallion to breed with a mare in foal heat, however a mare may be reluctant because of the foal's presence. She might not show any signs of heat either.
