  • Mares go into estrus one a year, when they are bred they have the foal twelve months after, at which time they can be bred almost instantly after they give birth but I'd wait awhile before

During the "natural" breeding season open mares will begin to cycle as temperatures rise and the photo period increases (spring). Initially they will go through a prolonged period of estrus called the transitional phase in which they may be receptive but will

not build a large follicle and ovulate. Once the first ovulation of the season occurs most mares will ovulate every 20 days unless they are covered by a stallion and become pregnant. There is some variation from mare to mare but most will be in heat for 5 or 6 days, once ovulation occurs the mare will remain in diestrus for approximately 14 days.

Once a mare foals, she has a foaling heat that is designed to help the mare return to

normal breeding status. While a mare can be bred during this cycle her fertility is reduced.
