The mares (female horses) are in foal for 11 months. A mother or dam, recognises it's foal by smell. She spends the first hour after birth licking and sniffing her foal to create a bond between them. Mares produce milk for their young and will feed them for up to six months before they are weaned. During foaling, mares need peace and quiet. Disturbing them may cause their labour to stop. The most common time of year for a horse to be born is in spring. Mares shouldn't be ridden after they are five months pregnant. Mares normally come into season when the days are longest and warmest-from early spring into late autumn.Although mares become less fertile with age, she can still produce offspring into her late teens.Mares in season can be more sensetive than geldings (boy horses.) During this time some object to being brushed and having their girths ( a strap of material or leather that holds the saddle in place) and require sensetive handling. Though foals are so cute and cuddly, some mares sadly reject their foals. The foals can sometimes be raised by a foster mare.
