Do mares ever stop going into heat?
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. Typically once they start, every 21 days approximately they go into heat. So they are in heat 3 to 7 days, adn then out of heat for about 14 days, then back. 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.

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.

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.

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.
