“…Induced ovulation as in cats, rabbits, ferrets or camelids43 is not described for horses. However, exposure to stallion was recently found to affect the mares’ cyclicity44. Such potential fitness-enhancing effects may explain why stallions would try to mount dioestrous mares and ejaculate semen, even if of comparatively low quality.…”

“…In horses, a typical oestrous cycle takes approximately 3 weeks during the reproductive season44. The typical oestrous signals can normally be observed during approximately 5–7 days during each cycle, i.e.…”

“…Here again, further studies are needed to investigate to what extent the present results can apply to sheep, but also to other seasonal ruminants or any species in which seasonal reproduction is controlled by photoperiod. For example, this could be the case in horses, since exposure to stallions advances the onset of the breeding season of mares (Wespi et al, 2014). Experimental designs used in experiments 1 and 2 to assess the importance of sexually active male bucks on the maintenance of out-of-season ovulatory activity in female goats.…”

“…So far, photoperiod has received most attention as a cue for phenological adjustment of breeding, although other external stimuli, either social (presence of stallion, Wespi et al . ) or environmental such as green grass, may also play a role. Grass greenness should be a key parameter, especially for those species for which grasses are of central importance in favoring adequate breeding conditions.…”
