The term has been defined above but no one has said why it means that. Brood is a word that means young (like offspring). Many animals and even people have their childrena and babies referred to as their brood.
A broodmare is a mare that is used for producing foals. It can also be a riding horse that has had a foal. It all depends on what else she has done, but she must have had a foal. If the word prospect is used, then it means that she has the potential to have foals but has not had any yet.
If you see the word open with this word, it means that she is not currently bred. If foal at side is used, it means that she has a young foal that has not been weaned yet. And of course in foal means that she is pregnant at that time.
Hope that helps!

The definition of a broodmare is a female horse, at least 3 years of age, who is used exclusively for breeding. Usually the mare is a high quality horse, bred to a high-quality stallion to produce a quality foal.

A broodmare is a mare or a female horse that is used for breeding purposes only. But they can be ridden. She is usually a good mother and produces very good foals or baby horses. I hope this info helps you!

It is a term that is used for a more that is in foal. That is why people often use the term 'broodmare prospect' for a mare they are selling it just means that mare will be suitable for breeding in the future if you choose.
