Some do and some don't depending on rate of maturity. Many mares that are not ready to breed will come in to heat once a season and produce a persistent follicle (one that doesn't ovulate). They may stay in a prolonged heat or may not cycle.

How long do horses stay in heat?
Most mares will come into heat every 21 days. Usually 21 days after the day the mare first comes into heat, she will start into heat again, but some mares vary anywhere from 18 to 31 days in their heat cycles. Heat periods are generally longer earlier in the breeding season and many older mares have longer than average heat cycles. The period of time when the mare is fertile and can conceive a foal generally only occurs 24 to 48 hours before the mare goes out of heat.

Do mares ever stop going into heat?
During the winter months mares often are not in heat. Once spring comes and days get longer (March to April) Mares will often begin to go into heat. Typically once they start, every 21 days approximately they go into heat. So they are in heat 3 to 7 days, adn then out of heat for about 14 days, then back. In the fall, when days get shorter, they often stop going into heat or it becomes very erratic. That's what I learned from my research! During the winter months mares often are not in heat.

Can a 20 year old mare be bred to foal or is that to old?
That depend on the mare.... if she has had a foal before and is having regular cycles it might be OK. If she has never had a foal before its not a good idea. The mares uterus looses its elasticity when they get older. I know of lots of older mares that have had beautiful healthy foals..... but I know of even more old mares that will no longer get in foal. Its really up to your mare and your vet. Good Luck!
