The normal gestation period of a pregnant mare is about 340 days, give or take ten days. If the mare is due to foal in warm weather, she will likely foal on the early side. If she is due to foal in cold weather, she will likely carry a little longer. Since the mare's age and the number of foals she's carrying also influence her due date, a mare may foal early or late regardless of the time of year. It pays to start keeping an eye on your mare at least 10 days before she is due to foal.
The easiest way to calculate the due date is to subtract 25 days from the breeding date. If, for example, the mare is bred in February 27, she will be due to foal approximately on February 2 of the following year.

A horse's gestation period is about 11 months, but can be anywhere from 10 - 12 months.

The gestation period for a mare is 11 months, typically ranging between 335 and 345 days for Thoroughbreds and slightly less for other breeds.

there's no distinction in gestation sessions between TB & WB. My vet reported that there is a 50 day "window" on the two fringe of the date, i.e. 50 days in the previous to 50 days after the due date. this may well be a extensive quantity of time. I thinks it relies upon greater on age & no count if or not this may well be a commonplace being pregnant. My mare's udders weren't waxing in any respect the day in the previous she gave delivery. the 2d foal grew to become into born interior a 15 minute window.
