But here recenctly like in the fast few days, she has been trying to fight my gelding, he doesn't really care, but she has been really agressive toward him about everything. And she comes in every 23 days all year. But she's normally a little shy and grumpy, but that's it. Just wondering if this behavior is related to her heat?

They are all very gentle and so was she. She seems to throw fits all of a sudden, and it seems like at the same time every month. It was foggy this morning when I went to feed her and there were deer outside of her pasture, I put her food in the troph, walked out of the gate, turned around and she bolted out of the shed, looked at the deer, snorted and had her tail straight up, just like our hunting dogs. I think she is in heat in the winter. I went to feed her this evening and she was aggressive to me. I would not let her near her hay until I seperated it and was out of the gate. During this time she snorted, bucked kicked out towards me, I still would not let her get to her food until I was out of the shed and out the gate. Is it because she is in heat?

She constantlly rocks her back end to the side of the stall. Also she seems to be very sensitive on the inside flank area on the belly. Going into cycle every two Weeks!!! I have had her checked out scanned and scoped they say everything is fine, but she really starts hurting in that area. We even had her on gastro-guard for 4 wks!!It was when we completed that that i realized that it was related to her cycles???? help! is it normal for a mare to weave while in heat.
