Suppressing Estrus or Heat Behavior in Mares
  by Robert N. Oglesby DVM

Introduction

Introduction » What is Normal Heat or Estral Behavior » Diagnosis » Treatment » Why Not Just Get a Gelding » More Info 

When mares come into heat, they can vary tremendously in their behavioral changes from mare to mare. While it is difficult to tell when some mares are in heat others develop behaviors that prevent them from being shown or used and can interfere with training. Underlying this behavior are the actual physiological events of reproduction. Suppression of either the physiological event or the behavior is sometimes desirable. This article is about identifying this as a cause of behavioral problems and possible ways to suppress it.
