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.

Why does a mare go in heat?
A mare goes into heat, or estrus, as part of her reproductive cycle to attract a mate and potentially conceive a foal. During this time, her hormones fluctuate, causing changes in behavior and physical signs like increased vocalization, swelling of the vulva, and increased interest in mating.
How long do horses stay in heat?
Most mares will come into heat every 21 days. Usually 21 days after the day the mare first comes into heat, she will start into heat again, but some mares vary anywhere from 18 to 31 days in their heat cycles. Heat periods are generally longer earlier in the breeding season and many older mares have longer than average heat cycles. The period of time when the mare is fertile and can conceive a foal generally only occurs 24 to 48 hours before the mare goes out of heat.
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.
Does a horse smell blood and go crazy?
Not all horses willl freak out at the smell of blood. I had a mare that would stand at the fence and watch a neighbor butcher hogs. I have another mare that does go a little nuts if she smells blood. So it really is an individual thing.
How soon to breed a mare after she delivers?
Technically, a mare can be bred again on her "foal heat". Her first "heat" cycle usually a few weeks after giving birth. For big breeding farms they do rebreed the mare at this time. For most backyard horse people this time comes and goes without notice. They are too busy playing with their new foal and its nice for the mare to recover from birthing. There is usually plenty of time to decide if you want to breed your mare again.

How many time a year does a mare go into heat?
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 mare who isn't in heat get pregnant?
yes they can, a mare, when introduced to a stud can, within minutes be in a standing heat. Answer2: Mares can only get pregnant while in heat (Estrus), however some may not show signs that they are in Estrus, leading owners to believe the mare is not receptive or able to become pregnant. If a mare does not become pregnant she will cycle again until either she becomes pregnant or the daylight hours shorten which helps to stop the heat cycle in horses. Ovulation in mares typically begins in March and ends in October, though it can go for longer or shorter depending on your location.

Are stallions harder to care for than geldings?
Stallions are harder to care for than a gelding or mare. When they see a mare in heat they will go crazy trying to um breed. I would only recommend a stallion to someone who has a lot of experience riding and care taking. I definetly would not recommend one for a child or teen (I'm a teen, but I have been studying and riding horses since I was very little.)
