The gestational period of a horse is 11 months, so a mare can be bred once a year. As mine aged, I would give them a year off so that they were bred every other year. That gave their bodies more time to recover from the pregnancy and lactation without having to build another foal at the same time one was nursing.
A stallion can typically cover one to three mares a day and about 30 to 40 mares in one year.
Yes, pregnant mares will let a stallion breed. It's best to have a vet find out for you so you can breed her of she's not, or separate them if she is.
If the young horse has done well on the racetrack during his 2- and 3-year-old years, for instance, he may begin breeding mares as a 4-year-old. Before entering the breeding shed, he needs some re-training, a fertility evaluation, and some time to refocus on his new job and prepare for his first breeding season.
Close breeding such as a mating between sire and daughter will test the good and the bad genes in that family. Such matings are used on an experimental basis to discover if there are any undesirable recessives in the family (such as red coat colour in Friesians).
Approximately week after castration, your horse will no longer be able to impregnate a mare but hormone levels may take 4 weeks to subside. Many geldings, particularly if they have been castrated when sexually mature, may retain some of the characteristics associated with a stallion.

With live cover, two horses are brought together and physically bred to each other. The benefits of live cover are that it requires less equipment, the sire is guaranteed, and the breed cannot be dominated by a few stallions.
Horses can be capable of breeding from 18 months old, but domesticated horses are usually allowed to mature to at least three years old before breeding. Gestation lasts between 11 and 13 months, depending on the breed, and usually results in the birth of just one foal.
To check for normal foal behavior, Delvescovo applies the “one, two, three” rule: Foals should be standing within one hour. Within two hours, the foal should be nursing and the mare passing the placenta. Foals should be passing meconium (their first feces) within around three hours.
