How can i breed mini horses?
I would begin by getting one mini mare and just breed her to someone else’s stallion, no need to keep a stallion for just one mare. See how you get along, then make up your mind if you want to continue or not. To answer your question specifically, the gestation, (time from breeding to birthing) is approximately 11 months, give or take a few days, and you should be present when the foal arrives, as they are very tiny when they are born and are not always able to break out of their placenta to breath. I would not clean the foal’s face and nose and encourage it to take a breath until it is fully born, it would be rare, but it could slip partially back inside the mare temporarily and if the colt has already taken a breath, it’s ribcage will be expanded and will make it much more difficult for the mare to expel. Besides, as long as things are progressing as they should, you should just leave her alone until the foal hits the ground, otherwise you could upset her and make her stand up before
