How do I Calculate mare's foaling date?
To calculate a mare's estimated foaling date, you can use the mare's last breeding date as a reference point. A mare typically has a gestation period of around 11 months (340 days), so you can add this to the last breeding date to estimate the foaling date. It's also a good practice to have a veterinarian confirm the pregnancy and monitor the mare's progress.
What if the foal dies inside the mare will the mare die?
If a foal dies inside the mare, there is a possibility that the mare may develop complications such as infection or inflammation, but it does not necessarily mean the mare will die. It is important to seek veterinary assistance quickly to address any concerns and ensure the mare's health and well-being.
How long will a horse bleed after having a colt?
A mare shouldn't bleed at all after foaling. If she does it is an indication that something is wrong that would require veterinary attention. After the foal is born the placenta will be expelled from the mare which will be red and may appear bloody. This should be completely expelled within a half hour after foaling and should never be pulled on to help it come out. If the placenta has not detached after 4 hours, call your vet because the mare may have a uterine infection. A mare shouldn't bleed at all after foaling.

Does the milk vein start popping out on a mare when getting ready to foal?
No, the milk vein (mammary development) in a mare typically begins to fill out and develop in the weeks leading up to foaling, but it may not visibly protrude until close to foaling or after the birth of the foal. This development is a normal part of the mare's preparation for nursing the foal. It is not a reliable indicator of imminent foaling on its own.
What is foal season?
Foaling season is actually opposite of when nature would have it, because we breed for foals to be born at the beginning of a year (for registering/racing purposes). Typical foaling season is early spring, between February - April. It can begin, however, as early as January and last till late May.
