Missy as came into season as of about 2 days ago and is being extra tarty which has caused the stallions tied on the common behind the stables to break free and fight with each other :( there are 3 of them all tied away from each other but the black cob stallion keeps pulling his peg out and attacking the coloured trotter stallion. which has now happened 5 times in 2 days :/

Rio isnt taking a blind bit of notice even while i was lunging him and he could hear and see them fighting and he just carried on doing his thing and is still his usual donkey self to handle so all good there :)

I didnt think she would com into season this early though. Although it hasnt been a particularly harsh winter it is hardly spring at the moment!

so anyone else had their mares come into season or is Moo just strange :o
 
Yup - my mare started two weeks ago, spending all day wickering at the neighbours geldings. My sister's mare however isn't but can't say I ever notice her in season.

They've just sarted moulting too...spring is coming!
 
Yes :( Sunday she bit my mum simply for daring to walk past her stable. I put it down to playing and being too rough.
Monday she was just a bit grumpy.
Yesterday she wouldn't even let me near enough to put her head collar on. She was being a total arse. Wouldn't let me catch her either. So I sorted her bedroom out for the night and just shut the door after she'd made her own way in. Farrier also was reluctant to touch her in the mood she was in so he's coming back next week.
I thought she was having a bad few days until someone pointed out she's shouted a lot more than usual. Once they pointed that out it was obvious.
I went out today expecting the usual eruptions but she was being very clingy!!!!!

I have the most hormonal mare!!!! I ordered some hormone balancer yesterday. Roll on summer :(
 
Oh and the other mare, you'd never know if she was in season or not. She's no trouble! Wish it was the other way round and the little one was the hormonal one :(
 
Because of improved nutrition over the years, most mares continue to cycle all through the year these days. Even native mares . My own broodies have been like this for several years now.
 
One of the ones at my yard loves Ned and always 'squirts' when he comes near. It's so gross! I've had to clean it off HIS legs more than once!! Haha!

I swear she hasn't been out of season this year.
 
Yes, she had a raging heat week before last. The type she normally gets early in the spring, March or April, where she gets a personality transplant and becomes this spooky, hot, anxious horse who goes bananas when she is taken away from the other horses and snuggles geldings across the fence, rather than the usual standard operating procedure of threatening them.

Luckily, after a few days this passed and my sensible and easy to handle horse returned.
 
One at the yard is coming not season,I think. The poor stallion was going a bit crazy as the YM was creaming up her sore legs outside his box! Normally, he ignores the mares unless they're blatantly in season.
 
Mine is in her 'do not touch me unless there is food' mood, she's not too bad and you can still do things but I do not enjoy her company very much when she is like that so tend to leave her to it!
I should think as soon as the weather gets even a little bit warm she'll be tarting herself about to anything on 4 legs which is a bit more bearable than the grumps!
 
Two mares on the yard we are at have come in, and its the two the gelding in the herd flirts with,there are two geldings, in the field hunni hates them both(much like any other moving object :D) I'm not that surprised hunni hasn't come in yet as she is in a herd of mostly mares(it's either that and the injection has worked it's magic and I can't notice her in!) touch wood! :D:p
