>>> I have 2 Icelandic mares, Ljosbra and Von. They do not show any signs of estrus unless a stallion is around.
My Icelandic mares don't show the usual signs (peeing, winking, etc.) of estrus, but Sina does show some moodiness - not bad, but noticeable. Since she doesn't show the obvious signs when she's in heat, it took a while for me to be fairly sure that's what was happening, but I'm fairly sure now it is. >>> They have recommended that I put her in the pasture with a stallion and see if she gets pregnant this way. I have been disappointed because of all the Icelandics that I own she is by far the smartest. I know the feeling. Bjola is one of my Einsteins, as is Melnir. I was looking forward to a super-baby from them...but I'm not sure when I'll get her problem resolved, so it didn't seem logical to keep Melnir intact for something that might never happen anyway. The good news is that if her problem is a granulosa-cell tumor, removing the one-affected ovary should make her able to conceive again...but I may just take this as a sign that she's had her two babies, and she should be a riding horse from now on.
