This will occur until the mare is fully sexually receptive, and is close to ovulation. When she is, it has been suggested the stallion will breed her 4-10 times (some say 4-5 times, others 8-10) in the 18-24 hours where she is in full standing heat.
The gestational period of a horse is 11 months, so a mare can be bred once a year. The care of a pregnant mare is pretty much the same as caring for any other horse. You'll exercise a pregnant mare just as you would any other horse, until the last 2 to 3 months.

“You may have to introduce the stallion to multiple mares. He may have been disciplined enough in his life that it takes him a long time to figure out that it's ok to have an or be loud around a mare. It's okay for him to just be a stallion.” You also need a mare that is in a good heat.
The first thing to do is to bring the stallion into the breeding shed without a mare there. “Then he can see what the breeding shed is, and can get used to the new surroundings, and become comfortable with it,” Sheerin said. Once he's comfortable, then it's time to start introducing him to some mares.
