How soon can a broodmare be covered after foaling?
It depends on the mare and her individual circumstances, but generally, a broodmare can be covered anywhere from 9 to 14 days after foaling. This is because the mare's body needs time to recover from giving birth and to return to its normal reproductive cycle. If a mare is covered too soon after foaling, it may increase the risk of complications, such as uterine infections or retained placenta. It's important to consult with a veterinarian or breeding specialist to determine the best time to cover a mare after foaling.
