Horses can cycle year round under the right circumstances.
Consistenly warm weather during the winter can result can bring the mare into
transitional heat.
Increased photo period can result in a return to heat.
The combination of lengthening photo period and temperature increases the chances that mares will cycle earlier in the year.
Yes, but the likelihood is rare. Mares tend not to show signs of heat or estrus during this season. Even those mares that do show signs are usually not ovulating, and those that show signs and accept stallions during the winter months rarely become pregnant. The majority of estrus activity and mating occurs during the spring and summer, not the winter. Horses are seen to be seasonal polyestrus animals.
No. If they did, they would be useless for pulling one-horse open sleighs, now wouldn't they?
yeah
A horse is pregnant for 9-10 months.
i wouldn't. the baby could suffer from brain trauma ever heard of shaken baby syndrome? well it can happen before the baby is born as well. i wouldn't risk your health or the babys if i were you
Answer. Horses usually do very well in heat but if they still have a long coat on while it is hot you need to shave the horse, so it does not over heat.
You can ride the mare up until she is five months pregnant.
Like any other animals....you have to breed a stallion and a mare.
No, when a mammal is pregnant it will not go into heat while it is pregnant.
I would say no because once their pregnant they don't go into heat
Yes, any other time she can not get pregnant. I have never before heard of dogs getting pregnant while they were not in heat.
Yes. A can will accept a mate and become pregnant only when she is in heat. At no other time will she want to mate.
Sure. You can do things you have been doing before you became pregnant. I rode my horse every day while I was pregnant. I rode the day before my baby was born. It is not dangerous to the unborn baby if you take normal precautions to prevent accidents.
Yes, it could if the symptoms of coming in heat (like moodyness and anything not physical like winking )have become routine. However, if the horse is winking or has other physical signs of being in heat, it is always a good thing to get the vet out.

the answer is yes, a horse does bite if she i pregnant, but all horses bight, it doesn't matter if she is pregnant or not, trust me on that, i have had my share of horse bites.

No usually, once animals are pregnant they will no longer have a cycle.
Yes, she certainly can if exposed to a stallion enough that she goes into heat when exposed to him.
