Mares in heat

[Janet B]

I have 6 year old hannoverian mare who has no obvious signs that she is in heat. Her
temperment is fairly even and she is kind. Never "sprays". We do have the occas week when we suspect she could be, because she will kick at our left leg and buck that way and then continues on like nothing happened. Is there an easy way to keep track of her 'heat cycles'?
ie keeping track of her temp? OR.......
She is very well bred and i was wondering what kind of price a mare of good breeding would bring.
Thank-you, Janet

have her ultra sounded is the best way to be able to tell just where she is in her heat cycle the vet can tell you if she has come into heat how long ago it was or if she will be in heat soon and then you know for sure and you can start counting the days when she will be in heat next, then you will be able to plan what to do next. Hope this helps

Also is she around gelding(s) all the time? I have a mare who won't show her heat if she's always around a gelding. So we would have to take her out of the field for a while then bring her to the teaser pony and then she'll show her heat.
