Mares are notorious for having inconsistant heat cycles, especially young fillies and a mare over the age of 15. TYPICALLY, a mare is in heat for 4 to 8 days, depending on the time of year and whether or not a stallion is present (so IN heat about a week on average) and OUT of heat for 14 to 16 days (about 2 weeks on average) In the late winter or early spring, a mare may be in heat the full 8 days while in mid-summer through winter only about 4 days, so how many times per year she is in heat can vary greatly.

Can a gelding cause a mare to abort?
Most geldings are not interested in mounting and penetrating a mare. Yet there are some that will, especially one that is classified as a crypt orchid,(still has one testical inside the body cavity which was not able to be removed in a normal castration). Mares do not have an extra protection for the fetus like a womans cervix, so if a horse penetrates a pregnant mare it is easy for the mare to contract an infection which will cause her to abort. Pregant mares will act like they are in heat, especially in the later months and some will accept a persistant suitor. So mix your bred mares and your geldings with some caution. Most geldings are fine but pay attention if a gelding is paying a lot of attention to a mare.
