I usually give my mares and jennets at least a years rest between each breeding. You have to figure that she's going to be nursing her foal for at least 5 to 6 months and that only leaves 5 to 6 months before the next one is due. The years rest goes a long way toward recondition her body for the next foal. Using her for activities after she's weaned her foal will also help redevelop her muscle tone and keep her in better shape. I would say give her a years rest and breed her back next year if your thinking of breeding her again.
That is kinda what i was thinking but I did buy her for a broodmare. If i can get what i want for this foal ill have to breed again the next year. And so on.
