"Hello my name is Neil Draper and we're going to talk about some of the signs that you'll look for your mare to breed to a stallion. We'll talk about the mare ovulating. And the sun has a great deal to do with it. The mare, when the sun and the daylight gets longer, the mare will start to ovulate and she will come in heat. And they will stay in heat anywhere from seven to fourteen days. And in this heat cycle, she will drop one to a number of eggs and in that time a stallion will build to cover her or breed her. And if the mare is ready to breed, she will allow the stallion to breed her. So some of the signs you'll want to see is if she's around other horses, geldings or other mares, that she will kind of be more irritable and she'll raise her tail and kind of scream a little bit and she will discharge from her back here. She'll discharge like she's urinating but she will just be in heat and she's just telling the stallion that she's ready to breed."
