Ah, that's most likely the problem, then. I find some of my mares will stand happily for shagging (even by geldings!) even when not in season at all - they just like it!!!! If you need a mare to be in season at a specific time it's worth using something like Regumate to induce ovulation. We're lucky with our lot - they get to run with the boys for 3 or 4 months usually.
