Hey Dr.O,
Getting back to the question of what happens to mares coming off lights midspring. I don't know about mares, but I do know that last year, my show horses that had been under lights from Sep 1 grew winter hair during that midspring DrOp off lights. They kept it all summer too, therefore causing me to body clip. So I would suspect some kind of irregularity to the mares' cycles.
