Hi there,

i posted a while back about my mare who randomly just flew off the rails & had a period of 2/3 weeks of being extremly naughty, around 0ctober time, had the vet out, nothing phyisically wrong with her, bloods taken etc, so we put it down to hormones & the last season on the year being strong etc.

Shes always been grumpy to rug up, saddle on etc, even if you put your hand under her rugs to check her temp, she will put her ears back etc....

Anyway, in the summer months, every 3 weeks, she would be in season, but she always displays the grumpy, i dont want to work attitude....

up intill a few weeks ago with the snow when she was in for 2 weeks cause of the snow, she felt & behavied the best she as ever felt, listened, so nice to ride, compared to the i will not work in an outline! no season so i thought yay, no more moody mare & pain in the bum to ride!

Since shes been out again, she came right back into season & has been a pain to ride, grumpy ijn the stable etc... very violent when getting on, stopping & refusing to go forwards when asking to work in an outline(will be getting back checked asap!), not paying attention, just only doing what she wants!, shes surrounded by geldings in the field (she son her own) and one mare & gelding near her stable...

I was thinking of seeing if regumate would help, i just want my mare back!

What does everyone think?
 
My mare is still in season now and hasnt had a break since the begining of november.
She seemed to be in alot of pain with it and my vet offered a cycle of regumate and then take her off it so she has a full season then she should return to normal.
I put her on NAF oestruss a few weeks ago and she seems to have settled down so i have held off of the regumate. (it isnt cheap!)
If it continues i will get bloods and scans done. Funny animals eh!
 
This description could be of my mare !!

Have the vets scanned her ? If no, may be worth asking the vet to do so .. Mine has a cyst on an ovary, regumate made no difference to her ..

I'd be very interested in any advice or suggestions you get on this ..

I hope you manage to sort it.
 
thanks for the reply guys, its so frustrating, as shes fantastic to ride & a really happy person usually...shes had bloods, which came back normal...will have a chat to the vet, shes settled down again, cause of the snow shes been in for a few days...surrounded by mares...not geldings, but ive given her the week off, so cant comment on the riden work!
 
hi
we have a mare like this and after trying regumate,oestress and a last resort we had a marble placed in her ---none worked for her

we had her scanned to see if we could find a solution to what was going on what was happening is that she was unable to release her eggs as normal for some reason which left her in pain she had an injection from the vet which helped her out and he then suggested to try natural angus castus

we buy ours through the herbal shop(cotswold herbs i think the company is called) in 1kg packs then crush in a coffee grinder we give 1 tsp twice a day morning and night for 3 weeks and one week off --also very good for people who a horses with cushings

it does take a while to get in the system as with many products but it is a cheaper alternative to the naf etc.. products and with some research most of these products contain mainly angus castus

hope this helps
