BREEDING question

Question
I have a mini mare 34".  I am trying to breed to a mini jack 32".  She doesn't seem cooperative.  Is there anything I can do to help her accept him?.

Answer
Dear Pam

Are you absolutely positive she is in season? Very few mares will breed when they aren't in season, and the very few who will accept a stallion when they aren't biologically ready to conceive don't conceive.

IF your mare is in full heat and still not accepting the stallion, she may need to spend a little more time around him.

Good Luck.
