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.

Do 2 year old mares come into heat?
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.

What is the breeding cycle or the heat cycle of a horse?
Mares go into estrus one a year, when they are bred they have the foal twelve months after, at which time they can be bred almost instantly after they give birth but I'd wait awhile beforeDuring the "natural" breeding season open mares will begin to cycle as temperatures rise and the photo period increases (spring). Initially they will go through a prolonged period of estrus called the transitional phase in which they may be receptive but willnot build a large follicle and ovulate. Once the first ovulation of the season occurs most mares will ovulate every 20 days unless they are covered by a stallion and become pregnant. There is some variation from mare to mare but most will be in heat for 5 or 6 days, once ovulation occurs the mare will remain in diestrus for approximately 14 days.Once a mare foals, she has a foaling heat that is designed to help the mare return tonormal breeding status. While a mare can be bred during this cycle her fertility is reduced.
