Re: [RC] Mare "PMS" - Elizabeth Walker

I haven't had any personal experiences, but I have heard of conditions such as cysts, tumors, etc. causing different types of problems. I've also heard of mares that simply have an overdose of hormones. I don't even want to speculate, as there are probably a half dozen different things that could be the root cause, and the treatment could very well be different for each one. :)

Ok, some of you may remember I posted awhile back about what a "hussy" my mare is and how she seems to be perpetually in heat. At the time I was told to have her checked by my vet as she could have tumors or some other anomaly of the female type.

Well, I never did do that, I thought I'd wait it out and see if winter brought her heat cycles down to a dull roar. Instead, it seems to be getting worse and today, I had the worst ride on her I've had since I first got her and she didn't know how to walk.

Just for the record, I AM going to call my vet now. But I wanted to hear if anyone else had experiences like this with mares in heat. Thank you, gang. :)
