Normally, mares do not go off feed when they are in heat although, if they are near or in with a stallion, they may spend more time showing their interest and or being bred than eating.

Do you need to clean a horse's vagina?
Yes a mares vagina does need periodic cleaning. You'll want to do this to clean off bacteria and debris that could get into the vaginal tract and cause infertility. You simply wipe the vaginal opening off with a damp sponge or rag. You will also want to wash the mares vagina with a nonirritating soap and rinse it well right before breeding her to a stallion to prevent the passing of germs and bacteria.
What two parts of an animal give off the most heat?
Tail and Ears
What is the difference between a male and a glending horse?
They both have their advantages and disadvantages. I have always had geldings and found that they are really calm tempered than mares. Some geldings are rather energetic though. Mares are rather moody and can be rather naughty. My sister has a chesnut mare and she is a real moody girl. When she is in season; my sister has to watch out because she will run at you and spin her bum around. We have found oustress has really helped though. If you are thinking of buying a horse; dont let this put you off it is the ability you want more than anything. Some mares are really calm. Another point of view. Growing up we were only allowed to have mares because geldings could still fret over mares even though they are castrated. A combination of mares and geldings in a herd resulted in a higher injury rate than a non-mixed herd. Geldings are permanent little boys and often get into "scrapes" and get injured because they are mischevious. A permanently injured gelding is a liability. Geldings tend to have more consistent behavior on a day to day basis. Performance stallions are best handled and trained by experienced horsepeople. Their unique mindset lends itself to top notch performance when properly channeled. Improperly handled stallions can be problematic. Mares have their own unique behaviors. We kept the good "workmanlike" mares and sold the ones with the emotiona issues mentioned above. It would be these mares that were allowed to have foals as well and the best fillies were held back for riding and breeding. The colts were always sold. We never retained colts good quality stallions were always available.
When will a mare start to lactate?
The mares udder will begin to get bigger about 3 weeks before she gives birth. It will begin to swell at night and get smaller during the day. Usually, the udder will stay full and large on the day before she gives birth. Colostrum may drip from the teats. The colostrum will dry and form what looks like wax over her teats, which is where the term 'waxing' comes from. Waxing normally means that the mare will deliver her foal within 24 hours but its not uncommon for waxing to occur 2 to 3 days before the mare gives birth. When the little drops of wax fall off of the teats, milk will usually drip out and that normally means the foal will be born within 8 to 12 hours. Like women lactating and giving birth, all mares are different, so these are just general guidelines.
Do mares go in heat in November?
yes mares go in heat in November they usually come in heat in spring and are on and off heat for a while
Can mare come in heat off season?
They can. Some mares continue to have heat cycles even during the cold months.
Do mares have periods?
Not in the scientific sense - a human female's period is when the lining of the uterus is sloughed off after the ovum is not fertilized. Mares do not go through a cycle of uterine wall build-up then sloughing, so they do not have periods. However, mares do go through heat cycles approximately every 21 days in which the mare is fertile and receptive to intact males.
How heat is produced by food making process by plants?
Heat is produced by the food making process in plants as a by product. As the plant break down food, heat is given off along with energy which is consumed directly by the plant.
What is it that normal light bulbs give off much more than fluorescent light bulbs?
Heat.
Vipers have heat sensitive?

Why does the food in the clay pot continue to boil even the stove has been turned off?
Clay retains heat very well and can cook the food for at least a little bit after the stove is turned off. It retains heat within itself as well as keeps heat within whatever space it is enclosing.
Do normal microwaves use convection?
Not really, microwaves mostly heat up water and if whatever you're heating contains a lot of water, then the heat radiating off that could cause convection.
Why are mares bossy?
Good question. Mares can be bossy and more difficult to deal with than a gelding. In their wild state, alpha mares run the whole show. They lead the herd and decide where they are going, what they will do when they get there, on so on. The stallions job is to run off other stallions. Stallions will protect their band of mares to the death sometimes. Some mares have what is the equivelent of PMS (pre menstrual syndrom) and their moods can fluxuate with their hormones. This sometimes can be a distraction if you have your horse at a show or competition and she wants to socialize with the boys. Some horse owners don't want to deal with the ups and downs of mares, and they ride geldings, or in lesser cases a stallion. I have 2 mares and I love them. To me they are easier to deal with my gelding, but of course everybody is different and every horse is different.
Is there an oven that can detect when the food is burning and turn off?
Being able to turn itself off wouldn't do anything. The food would continue to burn because the heat stays in the oven for a while before dissipating.
How is the measurement of calories in food determined?
Food is burned to see how much energy is given off. The food is places in a sealed container and burned to measure the rise in water temperature. The amount of energy given off is the amount of calories in the food.
