Mares can be pretty "tense" when in heat without being in pain.  Before going 
the Regumate route, I'd suggest a complete breeding soundness exam, including 
an ultrasound of her ovaries to make sure there are no problems.  If 
everything is normal, then Regumate is certainly an option for keeping her 
out of heat when you're riding.
