The average is from 340 to 342 days (which is equivalent to around 11 months long), but there can be a month or more in variation. The mare actually has the ability of postponing the birth if she is not comfortable with her surroundings., and this can be as long as 12 months sometimes. Occaisonally a mare will give birth at a shorter period than 11 months long, which can be at 10.5 months. Anytime before that foals that are born are deemed premature.

On average, 340 days but a healthy gestation can be as few as 315 days and as much as 370.

The gestational period of a horse is 11 months.
11 to 12 months all deppeand on the mare I had a mare go to 13 month before dropping.
A horse's gestation period is about three hundred forty days, or about eleven months.
Horses have an 11 month gestation period
Around 11 months :)
A normal pregnancy in horses lasts approximately 11 months - around 340 days. Colt foals tend to be carried longer than fillies. 12

310 to 365....normal around 340. Gestational lengths of less than 310 days often result in foals with significant issues with respiration, bone calcification etc. and can require intensive care to survive. Pregnancies that exceed a year are often the result of exposures to toxins (fescue, corn mold etc.), illness of the mare during pregnancy,

starvation and placental anomalies... Mares exposed to certain toxins will often produce dismature or over sized foals with deficits similar to premature foals.

Normal gestation for a horse is 330-360 days. Foals born earlier than 310 days are generally non-viable and foals born before 320 days require considerable care. Prolonged gestation may produce a viable foal or the extended pregnancy may result in a foal with developmental issues.
