I know of a couple way to bring mares into heat such as changing lighting ext. I heard somewhere there was a shot as well?
We're taking our mare down to KY sometime around mid April to get bred and it seems like she is in heat all the time but other then her attitude she deosnt seem to have any of the other signs, its still pretty early in season though. She lets some of our geldings mount her, but other times she wont have anything to do with them. No tail off to the side and no 'winking' as far as im noted, been keeping a real close eye on her for signs and still nothing. I was told just having her around one of my 'geldings in denial' would bring her into heat. Im thinking about keeping her under lights but i was also told by the farm we got her from they had great success with a shot that brings them into heat. I've heard of allot of methods so far, i just dont know which one i would like to use.
What methods have worked for you to bring your mares into heat and which have not?
Is it possible for mares to be in heat all year around?
