Mares prefer privacy at foaling time. If possible, mares will delay birth until human observers are not around. Mares generally foal at night. One study, for example, indicated that approximately 80 percent of foals were born between midnight and 6 a.m.
The most common way of discovering if a mare is in foal is to have the vet scan her. This can be done as early as about 12 days after covering, although it is usually done at about 18-20 days. Mares will then be scanned again at 40 days to confirm she is still holding the pregnancy.illies and mares can have foals safely at age 3- in fact, this is a common thing in the Amish community. The Amish even have a saying about horse breeding that goes something like a foal at 3, and the harness at 5' or words to that effect, which describes their philosophy towards horse breeding.
