Re: Re: Mares in heat

["Dyane Smith" <sunibey@sisqtel.net>]

Maggie,
I'm no expert in this, but I'm not sure your breeder friend's hypothesis
would always hold up.  A friend of mine had a mare that would come into heat
every time she saw Suni, a gelding (albeit incredibly handsome, sexy
whatever).  Her signs were enlarged and open vulva and a creamy discharge.
She was never in foal during these times.  Sun never mounted her.  These
displays occurred on the trail and in the street.
