During the winter months mares often are not in heat. Once spring comes and days get longer (March to April) Mares will often begin to go into heat.

In the fall, when days get shorter, they often stop going into heat or it becomes very erratic. That's what I learned from my research! During the winter months mares often are not in heat.

Can a mare go into heat when near a stallion?

When do mares ovulate in their heat cycle?
In the cold months many mares show no signs of heat. But as the days grow longer and the temperature climbs mares have more obvious signs of heat. Every mare is different but they have a cycle about once every 4 to 6 weeks on average. Some mares have cycles closer together, some not as often. If the mare is bred and becomes pregnant she will have no more heat cycles until what is called 'foal heat' after her foal is born.
