Strange Horse: The Vet Found Something a Mysterious Object Inside a Mare Who Couldn’t Give Birth
Knowing Eligible Mare
Even if a mare is mature and fertile, several factors can affect whether or not she becomes pregnant. Horses are classified as seasonal breeders, which means that throughout the year, as the seasons and sunshine levels vary, so does their reproductive activity.
Teasing introduces a male horse to gauge the female’s interest and is a crucial tool for determining the best time to breed. To know the heat period in mares, breeders tease them every other day. And if responsive, breeding is most effective just before she starts ovulating. Typically, a mare will ovulate a day or two before the end of the heat period.
