What will your mare do if a stallion is around but not in heat?

Mares will still interact with a stallion even when they are not in heat. If the stallion is relaxed and non agressive they can touch noses, do mutual grooming
or ignore each other.
If the stallion is interested in breeding, the mare will lean away from him, squeal, pin her ears and if he remains insistent she will often kick. Mares can still urinate (as a display of submission as opposed to a sign of heat) when they are disinterested in the stallion, but they will not stand or breakdown...will swish their tail and some will grimace and clap their mouths (another display of
submission) as part of the "no display".
Overly agressive stallions in a herd will often have several mares "rescue" a mare from his unwanted attentions...by circling around her and preventing him from getting close.
