Why does my mare wee when she sees me in the morning?

[Sophiesmum]

Both of mine have a wee in the field before they come in. The 'dirty' one seems to wee whenever I go to her stable. but she is generally too quick for me to catch it in a bucket. I just thought she was a stinky wee-ey girl, as opposed to other mare who is much more of a laydee!

I've a mare that always wees as soon as she comes into her stable after turnout, even before she has her feed. I think it's just a trigger habit.

My old mare lives out with others and when i turn up in the morning with their feed - she has to walk off down the field have a wee and then come back and have her dinner! Very odd

But then again she is a very odd mare - she hates women and only likes men!

Its natures way of preparing for something.

ie mom's here we might be riding, going into field (its nicer to pee on soft bedding than hard ground)

If its breakfast time, make room for it and its more comfy eating if you don't need to pee

Just the same as they may poo just before the spot you normally have a canter or gallop, or poo before the SJ round
