Can anyone explain mare's behaviour please?

[NellRosk]

I'm not used to these strange creatures after always owning geldings! My mare has just come into season for what I hope is the last time this year. When she's in season and I have to lead her past other mares, she stops and does little wees and squirts and is generally just disgusting. I was leading her to the field last night and it took me forever to get past 2 mares because she just wouldn't move and was lifting her tail! And 2 mares have just been moved to the paddock next door and I'm FB friends with the lady who owns one and she's put a vid on of her horse frolicking about and in the background is Nelly stood at the fence line weeing everywhere! Why would she do it to other mares? I thought they only did it to 'entice' the stallion? She goes all weird when she's in season..

It's quite normal for them to act like this around other mares when in season. However, I don't think it's 'disgusting', it's nature.

Ah right, I was just under the impression they only did it the boys! The other mares are totally uninerested.. Oh I don't know about that, it's pretty minging washing the by product off her tail and legs every other day!

Totally normal equine behaviour. Like stallions, mares are entire mature animals.

As said above, it's normal. I can't understand why it took you forever to lead her past the other horses though.

Oh good!

I had another horse and have to lead single file on a narrow track and couldn't get to her side and give her a 'flick' because she wouldn't move!

ETA because I can't tag it on to my original post, why do they display sexual behaviour towards other mares? Just interested!

My mare Squirts at the another mare! she's such a slut!

Lol yes Nelly is exactly the same! Such a pain when you're leading 2 and she stops and won't budge because she's too busy trying to catch the attention of everything in the next field!

I have a friend who keeps her mare on a farm livery and one day they were making a short film for TV. Sound man was walking backwards down the barn and said mare fell in lust with the hairy microphone he was carrying. She started to squirt with amazing accuracy, managing to catch the presenter full on!!

So, the moral is, consider yourself lucky it's other mares that make her squirt and not inanimate objects!

My mare always preferred the girls on days 1 and 2 of her season. I once caught her nicely positioned with her nose in her best girlfriend's stable, and her bum in the face of the gelding next door.

One of her lowest claims to fame was that she came on to the teenage son of one of the liveries. He was at the age when his voice was up and down so she must have picked up on his hormones. Poor lad, he was never allowed to live it down.

My friends serial squirter has produced whilst having her feet picked out all down the back of said friends collar, lovely!

My mare doesn't squirt but has been known to put her muzzle into the stream of her mates squirt out on a hack, now that was disgusting, not least as she had a nose net on so had it with her for the rest of the ride!

Showing affecton towards a mare is totally normal. I had one some years ago who got SO horny she would back up to my male Golden Retriever and allow him to hump her hock (as she was 17hh, that was about the best he could manage!)

 

[NellRosk]

Hahah thanks for those little anecdotes, made me giggle!! Poor girl, she's clearly just desperate for some!

My mare and her field mate (daughter's loan pony,another mare) are completely obsessed by each other when in season. They both squirt at the geldings in adjacent paddocks but nuzzle up to each other and don't like to be apart. The pony was so desperate a few weeks ago that she managed to cut herself open (including clitoris) by rubbing up against fence post...cue eighteen stitches in her lady parts...ouch!

 

[Echo Bravo]

To be honest she's being perfectly normal, if you find her behaviour not to your liking sell her and buy a gelding, because she's always going to be this way until she dies, so a pain in the but most of her life, you should my 9 year old

Butt and meet

Lol I find lots of my animal's behaviours not to my liking sometimes... for example when I clean my gelding's sheath and my Jack Russell runs along and gobbles down the flakes (vom). Still doesn't mean I don't love them all!
