Back in February I saw one of my mares in heat and decided to start hand breeding her for possibly an earlier foal for next year. So I hand bred once every day for a week. After a week of hand breeding, she kept coming back in heat so I left the stud in with her for another week. Yesterday, I wanted to see if she was possibly bred already but when I brought the stallion to her she started squating and peeing. He bred her yet again so I left them together. So my question is, is it possible that she took from last breedings in February or not? Does a mare come back in heat after being bred for that long and possibly be bred? This is my second year breeding so I am still new at this. Last year she had her first foal with no problems. But we bought her already pregnant last year so this is my first time breeding her. I bred 2 QH mares and 2 mini mares last year and all took within a month. I don't know if she is just hard to get bred or what is wrong? I was hoping to only hand breed her so that I could keep up with when she was actually bred, but with her still coming in heat I decided to leave the stallion with her. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
