Issue of implant to control heat cycle.. and fit mares...tying up.
been running mares since the 70's
first horse was anglo-arab mare.. road the legs off her.. did not know how to
train back then.. was very fit never tied up went well when in heat.

current group has never tied up.. muscle cramps ?? same?? maybe.. but the
cure was to up the vit-e sel dose using MEGA-SEL at doses higher then
recommended.. yeah i know be carefull do the blood tests..this has been done
on the list b4.. so no flames.. od on E-SE worked great for my 2 mares..
the se levels were about mid range after about a month of use of mega sel
not sure if the test was serum or plasma.. will test again this year.

i found my girls did better when running in heat.. if they found the one
stallion or a studdy gelding at a ride they came in over night.. i always got
a better ride. my older mare -bred 2x- likes the boys and will be very
strong-pushy -likes to work.
the other mare -never bred did not seem too much stronger when in heat.. she
just likes to go.

maybe mares need more e-se to keep the tie up in check??
