Horse Breeding

No, you don't have to. In fact many hunt bred horses go on to be amazing athletes in other sports such as jumping , dressage, and eventing.

The owner of the dam. Not to forget that the owner of the stallion cant prove that it was his horse covering the mare. So lucky for the mare owner XD

it should be possible for a horse to have babies even though it has 1 testicle. In each testicle thre are tubes called semineferous tubules, these produce sperm through with the camand of the hormone testesterone. If the DNA of the horse has no sign of mutations that causes infertility then they should be fertile. Remember, the two testicles are only there to be able to produce enuf sperm to be ejaculated into the female because not alot ov these sperms survive due to the high acidic level inside the females sexual part. So even though he has one nut he still produces fertile sperm :)

Yes. You can drink any mammals milk including a mares. The taste is probably different than that of cows milk.

Mare's often produce some additional vaginal fluid during heat due to hormonal changes. Technically this is a discharge however, with no description of the discharge being observed it is not really possible to know if it is normal.

Yellowish, green, smelly, brownish, bloody...abnormal. Clear, translucent barely white probably fine.

No, a human home pregnancy test will not reliably work on a mare. The horse test and human test look for species specific hormones.

Mare's milk looks similar to cow's milk. The first milk is not actually milk however, it's called Colostrum and looks a bit like watery honey. True milk comes in within a few hours or days.

A male breeding horse is called a stallion. If they are kept from breeding they are called geldings. Colts become stallions when they turn 3 years old. Stallions are usually very hard to handle.

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.

There is no one specific place where ponies developed. The term 'Pony' is simply a height designation for a equine that is 14.2 hands and under. Most horse breeds were originally pony sized and only became taller as humans began to breed for taller individuals within the breeds themselves.

Horses produce foals, not Calves(That's cows.) A horse can have around one foal a year starting from the time it's a yearling..assuming it's a mare, and keep producing foals until the day she dies, but typically in domestic breeding situations a mare will produce foal from age 3/4 up until about 18-20 years. So in the wild a mare can have around 20 foals in a lifetime give or take a few and in domestication a horse usually produces around 18 foals from live cover. If however the mare is able to bred artificially then breeders can flush several eggs from one mare each time she's receptive and implant them into recipient mares which means the mare can produce many more foals than is normal.

It usually takes about 4 weeks. Its different for everyone. I am pregnant right now, and i know i am because of the fluttering in my stomach and my light and dark period. You kno youre pregnant when there is a lot of discharge, and you may feel cramps in your sides. Good luck

Your ankle may not swell at all. If it does, it happens at different times for different women. It may happen when you start gaining more weight and perhaps in your 3rd trimester (if it happens at all).

So...to answer the question two ways.

A stallion can breed mares (live cover) 3 or more times a day if they are adequately fertile during a breeding season. Carefully managed stallions that breed each mare once at the optimum time in her cycle will statistically produce

more foals per year than an stallion that covers each mare 2 times.

Breeding season for Thoroughbreds is Feb 8th (for those trying to produce foals as close to January 1st as possible) and most breeding sheds close in early July.

These stallions have approximately 7 months between breeding seasons.

A female horse is called a Mare when it has past its foal stage. Soon after that the mare can be ready for the breeding age. A mother horse is called a Dam.

Physiologically speaking, the reproductive tract differences between a mare and a cow (a mature female bovine) are not all that different from each other if we don't go past the cervix. Both have the vulva and vagina situated underneath the tail below the anus, and both have to hold their tail aside to accept the penis of the stallion and bull, respectively, in order to successfully conceive. Thus the question is not about whether a mare's vagina is too large for a bull, it's rather if the bull can "do the job."

You see, the morphological differences in size and situation of the reproductive organs between a stallion and a bull are much more different than that of a cow and a mare. Both the stallion and bull are endowed with similar penis length, however the stallion is larger in terms of girth. The penis of the bull is pointed, and is situated on the belly almost exactly between the fore- and hind-quarters. With a much more blunted and boulbous end and situated between the hind legs close to the testes, the stallion's penis is Nature's design to encourage the mare to go into orgasm (via a bit of thrusting "action") and accept the semen the stallion ejaculates into her vagina. With a bull, however, simply the warm environment of the cow's vagina--coupled with a couple good thrusts--is enough to send him into orgasm and encourage ejaculation. With this in mind (however "disturbing" you may think it is at this point), though the bull may recieve some level of pleasure from the warmth of the mare's vagina, the mare isn't going to feel much the same from the lack of girth the bull has to offer. Distinctive behavioural differences between how cattle and horses perform their ritual courtship or "foreplay" before the actual mating commences are also worth mentioning at this point, and which ultimately determine if the mare, in the end, will accept the amourous bull.

A mare must be receptive or in estrus (or "heat") before she can accept a mate. If she's not in standing heat, she will put up a fight in the form of biting and kicking before she'll let any suitor mount her. A cow will move away from the bull when he tries to mount, and may come around to butt him with her head. A butt from a cow's head will hurt less than a solid bite or nasty kick from a frisky mare to the bull and may or will discourage him from attempting to mate with the mare again, if he so dares. To add, a mare often will not come into estrus in the presence of a bull; there's a much higher chance of her showing heat when a stallion is sniffing-distance away and when she has not been around any stallion for some time. Cows will come in heat regardless if a bull is present or not.

If the bull is very daring (and a bit stupid, one might add) and refuses to quit his attempts to court and breed with the mare, he might be able to mate with her, if he's big enough to mount such a large horse and if she's in standing heat in his presence, which, as implied above, may be a rare event indeed. However, with the odds in the mare's favour, such matings are improbable and next to impossible. A bull might end up getting injured in the process by the mare's less than eloquent attitude towards her would-be bovine boyfriend before he even has a hope of performing interspecies mating with her.

Thus, when all is said and done, it's doubtful that such a mating would end up making both the bull or the mare very satisfied with such "attempted" endeavours, more on the bull's part than the mare's. Also, in terms of the question asked, size of the mare's reproductive tract is far more irrelevant than the morphological differences between the reproductive organs of the stallion and the bull and differences in courting behaviour.

This is probably not blood from the urinary tract but mixed in with the urine as it is discharged from the uterus and vagina. If you are concerned a post foaling evaluation of the mare's reproductive and urinary tract may be advisable.

The percentage would be relatively small compared to the rest of the horse.

While the feet have a blood supply...they are designed to help move blood back up into legs with each step so the rate of blood exchange would limit

heat loss. The bulk of the exterior (the hoof) has no direct blood supply to the

surface where an interface with cooler air would result in heat loss.

A blood test can be performed by a veterinarian perhaps to determine if a horse carries the gene.

The mare is the mother and the foal is the baby. Until the foal is self-sufficient, the mother will be quite protective and caring.

My colts will try to mate with the fence, goats, even me. It is what they do. Gelding time is here!
