broodmares
Stud farm mothers
Broodmares are female horses kept primarily for breeding.
The term emphasizes their reproductive function rather than their use for riding or work: The farm maintains a dozen broodmares for its thoroughbred program.
Figuratively, broodmare can describe a woman viewed reductively as existing to bear children—usually used critically to highlight such attitudes.
