I would put mares first, as changing the order in English would sound odd. I presume the mare and offspring are a unit. If you prefer to emphasise the foals, you will have to say unweaned.

Unweaned foals would work, as foals can be used for both colts and fillies under a year, which will be the case if they are unweaned.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The thing is mares are listed separately (under under item) so it cannot be "mares with". I'll choose "Unweaned". Maybe unweaned foals is better?

agree  Joshua Parker: "Colts/fillies at foot", sencillamente. "At foot" es la expresión que siempre usaban en mi familia (criaban alpacas).

Lactating foals and fillies/with dame or Not weaned foals and fillies with dame


Explanation:
If they are with their mother is because they are still in lactation, have not been weaned.

Foals or baby horses do drink milk from their mother (lactate) until they are five or six months old.

neutral  Taña Dalglish: Nora, lo siento mucho! Parsing is incorrect, I am afraid. Foals do not lactate - they are babies. The mother too is the "dam", not "dame". Dad is the "sire". I know what you were trying to say!
