When a mare is ready for season, she is considered "in heat" or "in oestrous." A way you can test if your mare is in season is to get a male horse (a stallion is preferable over a gelding) and bring him near the mare. If she lays her ears back and kicks at him, she is NOT in season. If she relaxes, spreads her back legs a little, and lowers her butt, (aka accepting the stallion), she is in season.
Side note: Just because a mare is in season DOES NOT mean that she needs to be bred.

When do mares ovulate in their heat cycle?
In the cold months many mares show no signs of heat. But as the days grow longer and the temperature climbs mares have more obvious signs of heat. Every mare is different but they have a cycle about once every 4 to 6 weeks on average. Some mares have cycles closer together, some not as often. If the mare is bred and becomes pregnant she will have no more heat cycles until what is called 'foal heat' after her foal is born.
