Do all pregnant mares wax?
No...not all mares wax before foaling.
How soon after foaling is a mare likely to come into season?
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.
Which hormones help regulate a mares pregnancy and foaling?
Progesterone is the major hormone needed to maintain a pregnancy. In the forst 90 days the corpus luteum on the ovary produces the major amount of progesterone. After 90 days the placenta is the major producer. Initiating foaling is by the production of oxytocin.
Is the foaling date for a horse the birth date?
Yes, the date a horse was foaled is the date he was born. Foaling just means giving birth, so if the date is in the future or the very recent past (and doesn't make sense by looking at the horses' teeth) and the horse concerned is a mare, it could be the day she gave birth (or is due to give birth), not the day she was born.
What is it called when a horse gives birth?
There is no special term for a horse birth, although it can be called "foaling."
Do all pregnant mares wax?

How do you use mares in a sentence?
I'm not sure which of those two mares I want to actually purchase. Both mares are foaling!
How close is a mare when her hips get pointed?
Mares can experience dramatic muscle relaxation over a month before foaling (generally older mares that have had a number of babies). Younger mares may not show much relaxation prior to foaling.
I have a 16yr old Mare who has never had a foal before can I put her to a stallion?
Yes, but make sure the stallion has good foaling ease (or has the genetics that gives small foals), as her pelvis is not as wide as mares that have had experience foaling, but small like mares that are pregnant with their first foal.
After giving birth when does a mare's milk drop?
Some mares are already in milk before the foal is born. It is generally only maiden mares or early foaling mares that take more time for their milk to come in.
How soon after foaling is a mare likely to come into season?
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.
How does a mare give birth while other horses are in the same paddock?
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.
What if a horse is in heat all the time since she gave birth?
Since there is no mention of how long the mare has been in continuous heat this is a very difficult question to answer effectively. Generally, mares will enter into heat as early as 3 days post foaling. The length of this heat cycle is variable with many mares ovulating 6 to 10 days post foaling. The number of days post ovulation where the mare acts receptive could make her appear to be in heat for 12 or 14 days post foaling. That being said, mares that do not clean and involute well post foaling will often return to heat early, which may also give the impression that the mare has been in continuous heat.
Which hormones help regulate a mares pregnancy and foaling?
Progesterone is the major hormone needed to maintain a pregnancy. In the forst 90 days the corpus luteum on the ovary produces the major amount of progesterone. After 90 days the placenta is the major producer. Initiating foaling is by the production of oxytocin.

If you mean how long are mares in gestation, then 11 months. If you mean how long until a mare can breed again after foaling, I don't really know. The mare goes back into heat usually around two or three weeks after foaling.
