Here's what it means:
* "Unbred": This indicates the mare has never been impregnated and carried a foal to term.
* "Mare": This refers to a female horse that is four years old or older.
Why might a mare be unbred?
There are several reasons why a mare might be unbred:
* Age: She may be too young to be bred (typically, mares are not bred before they are at least two years old).
* Health issues: She may have a medical condition that prevents her from breeding.
* Not suitable for breeding: She might not have the desired physical characteristics or temperament for breeding.
* Owner's decision: The owner may choose not to breed her for personal reasons.
Important Note: Sometimes, the term "unbred" is used loosely to describe a mare that has never been successfully bred (meaning she may have been bred but did not conceive). It's important to clarify the context when using this term to avoid confusion.
