Horse Gestation

#753 Posted on 2016-02-13 19:56:40

I need a refresher for this....I have my Welsh horses that are 20 years old (finally) so I can hopefully get out of the breed. I'm very curious to know how the gestation plays into this. Should I breed them now at 20 yrs and whatever days to gestate through before they turn 21, or if I wait like the day before they turn 21 and retire does that affect the foal(s)?

I tried looking in the FAQ and nothing was really there, and Im not sure if the News pages got transferred over as well.

I don't know the answer but It changed the way I do things..Not being able to see the foal instantly and then your horses aging out is not fun. :(

I think it was said the mare could be bred the last day she was 20, and then wait until the foal is born. The old mare wouldn´t die until the foal was born. Please let me know if I am wrong.

I've already bred some of my older mares just in case but I'd love to know.

Also what's the breeding cool down now... Not sure if it stayed the same or not. There's nothing on breeding in the faq.

Horses will not die until the age of 22+ so if you have a pregnant horse at 21, it shouldn't affect the foal :)
