There is no discharge that I know of but a mare in heat will usually urinate when a stallion is presented. When a stallion is present, other signs of a mare in heat are: turning the hindquarters to the stallion, raising the tail, squatting and a flexing or winking of the labia. When a mare is NOT in heat and a stallion is present, she is totally disinterested and will flatten her ears, squeal, kick and sometimes bite and kick at the stallion.
