brood mare
Horse for breeding
A brood mare is a female horse kept specifically for breeding purposes.
The term emphasizes the mare's reproductive function rather than any use for riding, racing, or work.
By extension, brood mare is sometimes applied disparagingly to women, suggesting they are valued only for bearing children.
The farm maintains several prize brood mares for their thoroughbred program.
