How many pregnancies would be possible in a lifetime for a mare?

Answer 1

If she is healthy and well kept, a mare can have a foal every year from age around 3. I personally know one mare who had a foal every year for 21 years, an another who had her last foal at age 33.

Answer 2

Gestation in horses is 11 months, and the foal will stay with his mother for almost another year. So unless the mare has twins, it would take about 2 years before she can breed again. But you should wait a bit longer, to let her recover a little. So, in short, the answer is 0.5 foals per year, or 1 foal per 2 years.

Answer 3

On average, a mare can have around 15 pregnancies in her lifetime depending on factors such as her health, breeding history, and management practices. Mares typically start breeding at around 2-4 years of age and can continue until their late teens or early twenties. It's important to consider the well-being of the mare and ensure she has adequate rest between pregnancies to maintain her health and fertility.

Answer 4

Only one if the timing is right. If the breeding is within 24 hours of ovulation it is mostly successful.
