Anestrus - occurring in the majority of, but not all, mares - prevents the mare from conceiving in the winter months, as that would result in her foaling during the harshest part of the year, a time when it would be most difficult for the foal to survive.
Hormones involved in the estrous cycle, during foaling, and after birth The cycle is controlled by several hormones which regulate the estrous cycle, the mare's behavior, and the reproductive system of the mare.
Furthermore, modern breeding management and technologies can increase the rate of conception, a healthy pregnancy, and successful foaling.
Overfeeding the pregnant mare, particularly during early gestation, should be avoided, as excess weight may contribute to difficulties foaling or fetal/foal related problems.
Similarly, the "breeder", is the person who owned or leased the mare at the time of foaling.
Smaller breeders often use a small pen with a large shed for foaling, or they may remove a wall between two box stalls in a small barn to make a large stall.
