  Discussion on Heat cycle in mares

Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2001 - 8:33 pm:

how many days will it be after a mare goes "out" of heat (is not receptive to the stallion)until she comes back "in" ( will be receptive to a stallion again)? i have always heard a mare comes in every 21 days, which i thought meant 21 days after she went "out", she would come "in" again. i read in one of your discussions that the whole cycle was 21 days. does this mean that, assuming the heat period is 7 days, that the mare will be back "in" 14 days after she goes out? i do not have a stallion where i keep my mares, so i have to haul them to the stallion to be teased. i mainly need to know this so that i will know when to recheck the mares after they have been bred. thank you very much, darrell purdue
