The Horse HealthCast by SmartPak: Mare Care
Mare Care
Mares have a reputation for being complicated, but understanding what’s happening beneath the surface can make their behavior feel a lot less mysterious. A mare’s reproductive cycle can influence her behavior, comfort, focus, and interactions with the horses and people around her, but not every change should automatically be attributed to hormones.
In this episode of Horse HealthCast, we’re taking a closer look at the equine estrous cycle, common signs of heat, and why keeping track of your mare’s patterns can be such a valuable part of her care. We’ll also discuss day-to-day management, mare supplements and their common ingredients, and veterinary options such as Regu-Mate for mares who experience significant behavioral changes or discomfort.
