MARES are often wonderful to own as they can be loving, and enjoy company and attention. However, caring for a mare can be difficult at times. Unpredictable and erratic behaviour, which may interfere with a mare's performance, training and management, can be frus trating for owners.
Many people think that such behaviours are associated with the mare's oestrus cycle, but in fact they may be due to other problems entirely. It is important to talk to and work with your vet to find the root of such behaviour, so that it may be addressed in a positive way.
