Hi to all. Has anyone any experience of having a mare with ovarian issues? My 10 yo Irish cob maiden mare whilst mainly sweet natured has always been difficult with her seasons, squirting and straddling around mares and geldings. She is naturally a dominant mare, but in the last 2 weeks her behaviour has become aggressive towards other horses, kicking the stable walls and striking out with her front legs. It is only testatment to our strong bond that she has not hurt me yet, but at times I can see her thinking about it...
Whilst talking to my vet about marbling/Regumate he mentioned stallion like behaviour and I suddenly realised that her neck has become arched and cresty, though she is not overweight. I feel rather stupid that I may have been missing the obvious and will now get her scanned asap. My question is, has anyone here experience of the operation to remove the granulosa cells and does it work long term? She is fully insured. Many thanks.
