Are there any side effects or long-term problems with using Regumate? Is the
mare still easily breedable later or does it upset her cycle when taken off?
How often is it administered? By injection? Orally? What is the
approximate cost per dosage?
Is spaying a worthwhile alternative if you don't plan to breed later? How
traumatic is spaying? I understand that it can be done vaginally but the
mare has to be cross-tied for 2 or 3 days after? Isn't this cruel,
especially to an endurance horse that is accustomed to freedom and movement,
or is the end result worth the discomfort for several days?
