What is the normal gestation period for a mare?

11 months and one week, typically.

According to this link, (which I have found has GREAT info!!)
http://www.yourhorseshealth.com/heal...tant_mare.html

Quote:

The average length of pregnancy in the mare is 338-343 days. However, normal gestation can range from 320-380 days. You needn't become overly concerned if your mare is past due. Prolonged gestation is not generally associated with problems or extra large foals. If your mare's pregnancy extends much past 340 days or you're concerned, ask your veterinarian to examine her to determine if the mare is still pregnant and confirm that all is well.

I hope that helps...
