[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 191050, member: 2653"] Aplus, Horses cycle just like cows, but they don't ride anything. They just become irritable from my experience. Do you have any other horses with the mare, that may tip you off to when she is cycling? If not, you may have to bring her to the stud and let them board her for you. Big stud farms have teaser stallions that will help bring a mare in heat. I don't think having a foal 4 years ago would be any problem. I would have her checked out by your vet before she goes to make sure she's in tip top shape, and up to date on all vaccinations, including coggins. I always worm my horses before they leave the place, and when they get back. For horses, white(gray) is the dominant color similar to black is with cattle. Any color stallion you breed her to will have a good chance of being white/gray. If you breed her to a paint, the foal will almost always be a paint. I say almost always because I had a paint mare (1/2 Tenn. walker) that was bred to a paint stallion, and had a chestnut foal. Go figure. Anyways with cattle white is a diluter, but not the same with horses, it's dominant. After white, bay is the next dominant color. Good luck [/QUOTE]
