A mare can be safely bred again on her first heat after foaling, but most breeders wait until the second or even longer. If the mare's nutrition and veterinary care are very good and she is not ridden, it is okay to breed her but if she is under work it is probably best to wait. A pregnancy while a young foal is still suckling is a big drain on a mare and can cause the current foal to be weaned too young. Constant pregnancy also takes its toll on the mare's body and after three or four years of being pregnant all the time she may have a sway back and joint problems. However, this is likely to happen after she has many foals whether they are close together or not.
