Mare are long day, seasonally polyestrous breeders. As the days get longer (more light in a 24-hour period), they start cycling. As the days get shorter (in the autumn), they stop cycling. Their cycle lasts spring, summer, and early fall. In the late fall and winter, the mare is in anestrous there is no cycling. In the spring, they go through a transition phase, where they go from anestrous back to estrous cycling. This also occurs in the fall when they go out of estrous cycling. Page 3 of 9

4 These two transition phases will have an abnormal cycling times and that leads to a stressful time for mares it can last for days, but can be in and out of heat within only a few days for example. The usual estrus and diestrous days are not on schedule. They are irregular in timing, making behavioral patterns erratic. 2. In anestrus (late Fall & Winter), even though mares are not cycling, they often will have behavioral problems. They may be mildly receptive to a stallion still or even be fully receptive all winter. 3. Polyestrous means they will have many cycles during the long day times of the year each estrus cycle is 21 days long. For 4-6 days, a follicle forms on an ovary during estrus and mares are receptive to a stallion. For days, the mare is in diestrous where the corpus luteum forms on the ovary and the mare is not receptive to a stallion. 4. Control of estrus depends on control of hormones. In estrus, the main hormone is estrogen. In diestrous, the main hormone is progesterone. How Different From Humans Mares a different from humans! Mares will continue to have cycles in estrous throughout their lives there is NO menopause for mares! Mares do not menstruate. Often you will see products with PMS Formula technically this is not true since mares cannot get PMS. Some mares do have many of the signs of PMS, but it s important for owners to know this difference. Insulin Resistance Leads to Issues Insulin resistance will cause inability of the mare to get pregnant, can cause foal loss (abortion) or laminitis in the late stages of pregnancy. If your mare is prone to IR via genetics or eating patterns/diet, it can affect their behavior and estrus cycle pattern. Page 4 of 9

5 Why Foundering When in Heat? Often owners will comment that their mare started a laminitis bout when she started coming into heat. Why is this happening? 1. These mares are already IR (insulin resistant) and are on the edge of high blood insulin creating laminitis the start of their heat cycle is the final push over the cliffs edge. 2. There are several studies showing high amounts of estrogen can trigger insulin resistance in mare going into heat, estrogen levels are increasing and peaking. The exact mechanism of estrogen s effect on insulin resistance are still being studied (some studies conflict on findings), but here are 3 studies showing estrogen s ability to add to insulin resistance. A. Insulin Sensitivity is decreased in normal women on estradiol doses. 1. Estradiol supplemented decreases insulin sensitivity. 2. This effect was not in all subjects. Note from Dr. Reilly: This must suggest that this effect will not occur in all mares. B. Effect of Estrogen on Insulin Sensitivity. 1. Moderate estrogen doses may actually increase insulin sensitivity, but higher doses of it creates Insulin Resistance. Note from Dr. Reilly: Estrogen peaks early in heat cycle might be when we see problems in sore mares that are IR/prone to estrogen peak hyper insulin. C. Estrogen Given to Men Induced Insulin Resistance men given high dose estradiol. 2. Estradiol treatment in men can induce insulin resistance in healthy subjects. Note from Dr. Reilly: Using this hormone in a male and creating IR is strong evidence of estrogen having a role in insulin action. 3. Stress of Coming into Heat. Stress raises cortisol and that hormone interferes with normal insulin action, which creates an insulin surge to overcome this interference. If already IR, becomes very IR and laminitis triggered. Thyroid Issues Low Thyroid Hormone many mares will benefit from a combination of Happ-E-Mare and ThyroL powder. Have your vet test the mare s total T4 level. Often, they are SUBOPTIMAL and run at the bottom of the normal range we need them at the top of the normal range. 1-2 scoops (12-24 mg) of ThyroL can help bring your mare to the top of the normal range for optimal immunity and muscle health. Example: Test #1 T4 = 1.3 (where the normal range is 1-3) Page 5 of 9

6 Test #2 T4 on ThyroL = 2.7 (top of normal range) On tests, DO NOT ACCEPT it s normal we know that. Think of it this way: You get into a car accident and are taken to the hospital. Dr. A is 1 year out of school and has license. Dr. B is head of surgery, 30 years of experience, wrote 2 books on trauma and has license. BOTH are normal, but you know who you would choose. Anatomy Problems External Reproductive Tract Anatomy Problem: If your mare s vulva tilts inward, manure has a tendency to pour out onto her reproductive tract, which leads to urinary tract infections. The mare might urinate more often, feel poorly and not really care if a stallion is around this can lead to problems in gauging where she is in the estrus cycle. She may be resistant to being ridden and not be able to focus due to having an infection. These infections can also progress to uterine infections. Excess fluid and inflammatory cells build up in the uterus. Uterine infections lead to short cycling the time out of heat is very short, so she is in heat more often. Transition Period Always in Heat 1. Transition periods of abnormal estrus cycles 60 days in spring and 60 days in fall 2. Hormonal swings of coming into heat from progesterone to estrogen control There are approximately 11 estrus cycles a year, creating behavioral and physical changes in your mare. 3. Anestrus ( in heat ) abnormal issues mare is NOT to be cycling then, but many mares exhibit in heat signs in the winter. Horse Calming Supplement for Nervousness Why It Works Often, horses do not have a hormonal problem but still need a calming aid for their nervousness.
