The pregnant mare needs special management considerations in order to optimise the chance of the successful delivery of a healthy foal. Attention must be paid to feeding, general health care, vaccination and the prevention of infectious disease. The length of pregnancy is very variable between mares, the average being 340 days and most mares will foal in the two weeks before or after this date.
