Was she coming into heat/on heat when you covered her? If she wasnt then you could try covering her again this week. If she was, then keep eye on her for next week or more, checking her to see if she comes back into heat, if she doesn't, then you could think about getting her scanned to see if there's an embryo there then you'll have a foal to look forward.
Once she's confirmed in foal, there's nothing more out of the ordinary you wouldnt do really other than the norm - watch her diet, don't let her get too fat, look after her hooves as per usual, worm, vaccinate her and keep her life stress free bascially for the next 11-12 months!
