I would think that the hormones might already
be working correctly if the mare acting "marish" during her heat cycle
and attempting to get herself bred (:>).
I'm curious as to why you call yourself and expert
& professional, Ginny. Any degrees or certificates that you'd like to
share with us? I couldn't find anything on your website that show your
qualifications. Since your statements are often contrary to what
other experts & vets have to say, it would be beneficial if you'd
explain your qualifications. Ridecamp is a place where advice is
usually freely given, not just alluded to and then a sales attempt made
through private emailings. If you have knowledgeable advice to "share",
why don't you share it with us. Tell us all, in detail, how to feed
our mares properly so they won't act marish. BTW, where did you receive your
degree in equine nutrition?

From Ginny's website:
"I've worked with 100's of horse owners,
riders, handlers and trainers who care enough about providing the proper care of
horses to obtain advice from a professional like myself, and in the 45 years I
have been providing equine consultation to horse owners, riders, handlers and
trainers, all over the world....."
Actually, the cause of PMS in humans, and
"marishness" in horses is quite similar -- it has to do with nutritional
defitiencies that make it difficult for the person/horse to produce the
correct amount of the correct hormones (these are manufactured, internally)
at the righ time.
As an equine nutritionist, I have eliminated
"marishness" in many horses, through changes in diet.
Healthy mares
handle their heat cycle without distress or difficulty; only mares with
health problems have difficulties that affect their
disposition.
