Normally, yes. My mare is always super fresh when she goes into it. However, I actually don't mind it much because it is a good excuse to not work on our barrel racing and switch to discipline. I feel like my mare going into heat is an opportunity for me to work on her respecting me and my control of her because she is more hyped up then normal.

How soon after foaling is a mare likely to come into season?
Mares come into a foal heat within a week or 10 days after foaling. In the wild, it's not uncommon for a stallion to breed with a mare in foal heat, however a mare may be reluctant because of the foal's presence. She might not show any signs of heat either.
Is there any discharge for a mare on heat?
There is no discharge that I know of but a mare in heat will usually urinate when a stallion is presented. When a stallion is present, other signs of a mare in heat are: turning the hindquarters to the stallion, raising the tail, squatting and a flexing or winking of the labia. When a mare is NOT in heat and a stallion is present, she is totally disinterested and will flatten her ears, squeal, kick and sometimes bite and kick at the stallion.

Cows come into heat every 17 to 24 days, regardless of what environmental conditions that occur.
How often does a mare in Australia come into season?
I'm interested in any answer to this too.. I live in the Southern Hemisphere but in a country where the mare would start coming into season when the daylight hours start getting longer, but I guess in Australia the daylight hours are similar during most seasons? Normally once the breeding season starts the mare will have a cycle of three weeks. About six days in season and then two weeks 'off heat'.
When is the best time to breed the friesian horse?
The best time to breed ANY horse breed is in the summer. When daylight is in its prime, so is the mare's heat. This is how it was planned in the wild. When bred in the early summer, foals were born in late spring, when grass was at its best, the temperatures were warm, and the foal had a long time until the cold winter.

Why are mare horses put into quaratine for two weeks?
It could be to see if they will come into heat or are pregnant. That, or, if they are positive for any contagious disease they might have or are carriers for that can be transferred to other horses. Answer 2: It should be noted that it's not just mares that are put into a two week quarantine. Two weeks is the standard minimum for any horse in quarantine.
Are horses monogomous or polygyny?
Horses are Polygyny in their breeding style. A stallion will mate with any mare in his harem that is in heat, and will try to steal mares from other stallions. A mare typically only mates with the current band stallion, but may wander off and breed with another available stallion.
Has Any Mare Ever Rejected her Foal?
Mares do not reject their foals, and they will fight to protect them. In any case where the mare does reject her foal, it is because she deems it is physically damaged at birth or it is not 'normal'. A mare having her first foal is known as a maiden mare, whereas others are known as broodmares.
