Plan 2: Individual mares in stalls/pens
In this management plan, the mares are individually housed in pens or stalls. The stallion teases each mare individually for estrus.
View this video and consider the questions. You should be able to discuss them in class.
Questions:
- What are the safety issues with this plan?
- You have seen the sorrel mare teased by two different stallions. What is the difference in her behavior? What conclusions can you draw from these observations?
- What are the potential problems with this plan for estrus detection?
- What problems might you have with mares that currently have foals?
