We are considering a purchase on a mare that is in foal and due some time around Sept 08, my question is how long can we safely ride this mare without doing
any harm toher or the colt..

We ride ours up until a couple of months before they are due. It all depends on the shape of the mare. If she is used to being ridden everyday I would say that
you could ride her up until a few weeks before she foals. But...I wouldn't put a 300lb person on her back at that point

I showed my mare until about 4 months before she foaled. She is a padded racking horse. I'm sure it would be alright to ride a flat shod mare a little longer. |
