This behaviour is quite common, especially in the first few months. Don't let her near a stallion because if he tries to mount her she may hurt him. Experienced stallions will probably ignore the advances knowing they won't be able to mate with her.

∙ 16y agoPregnant mares do not go into season. Due to hormonal spikes, it is common for pregnant mares to display almost identical behavior to a mare in heat, by 'winking' and urinating towards stallions or interested geldings. However if a stallion makes any attempt to mount her, she will attack him. You should keep her well away from the stallion. An experienced stallion who has been used to keep a herd of mares in foal for several years learns to tell the difference between a mare in heat and a pregnant mare. He will not try to mount a pregnant mare, no matter how eager she seems, because he knows she will not stand for service. However a young stallion, or one who only comes into contact with mares to cover them, will not know the difference and she could hurt him. If you want your mare pregnant you should have the vet check that she is indeed in foal. If she's not, the sooner you cover her again the better. Most studs offer a live foal guarantee, meaning that if your mare does not become pregnant, aborts, or gives birth to a foal that cannot stand and nurse, they will provide a second tube of semen or a second service for free.

∙ 14y agoYes, there is a shot called Lutalyse that will often (not always) help your mare to come into heat within a few days. It must be given at the right dose, at the right time, or it will not work.
