How would you trick a mare to go into heat?
You can manipulate a mare's estrus (heat) cycle several ways. Put the mare under lights early in the winter to fool her body into thinking it's spring a few weeks earlier. Give the mare a shot of Lutalyse. This chemical makes the mare cycle sooner than normal - usually about 3-5 days after the injection. Tease the mare. A mare that doesn't have normal cycles can sometimes be encouraged to come into estrus sooner with exposure to a stallion.

What if a horse is in heat all the time since she gave birth?
Since there is no mention of how long the mare has been in continuous heat this is a very difficult question to answer effectively. Generally, mares will enter into heat as early as 3 days post foaling. The length of this heat cycle is variable with many mares ovulating 6 to 10 days post foaling. The number of days post ovulation where the mare acts receptive could make her appear to be in heat for 12 or 14 days post foaling. That being said, mares that do not clean and involute well post foaling will often return to heat early, which may also give the impression that the mare has been in continuous heat.
