broodmare
Foal-producing horse
A broodmare is a female horse kept for breeding.
The term emphasizes her reproductive role rather than her use for riding or work: The farm maintains twelve broodmares for their thoroughbred program.
Figuratively, broodmare can describe a woman viewed primarily as a bearer of children, usually disparagingly.
