What is the gestation period for horses / how long is a horse pregnant?

Generally, horses are known to have a gestation period or length of 320 – 370 days or an average of 345 days which is close to 12 months. This means a horse will be pregnant for about 11 to 12 months before foaling (an act of giving birth in horses). Use the horse pregnancy calculator at the top of this page to calculate the estimated foaling date for any female horse.

What is the heat or estrus cycle in a horse?

Horses have an estrus or heat cycle of 19 – 26 days or an average of 22 days. Each heat or oestrus lasts for about 5 – 7 days or 6 days on an average. This simply means that if a mare (female horse) comes on heat and she isn’t able to mate with a stallion within 5 – 7 days, then she will have to wait for another 19 – 26 days for the oestrus to return.
