How Long Are Horses Pregnant? Planning Around a Mare’s Due Date
Use a mare’s breeding date to plan an approximate foaling period while keeping veterinary findings and observation separate from calendar arithmetic.
Use these guides to turn animal breeding records into approximate birth windows. Compare cattle, dog, goat and horse gestation examples, record how each date was established, and keep calendar estimates separate from veterinary findings. Start with the gestation chart, then choose the species-specific guide below.
