Any tips for a first timer buying a mare??

I’ve heard that the best time/chance to build the intimate part of the relationship is during the first heat she goes through after you get the mare (no matter the age). Is this true?

Is there any chance of them contracting anything from each other if the human partner is being intimate with them both at the same time? Similar to that of humans catching STD’s?

That definitely sounds like a lot to handle haha

Here's an article on Zoonotic diseases:

Zoonotic Diseases

Here is a listing of the diseases that can be passed to humans from various species. I appreciate that equines pass on very few compared to other species. *smiles*

Completely up to the mare, I've been propositioned while looking at a mare for the first time and had some that weren't interested in years, or ever.

Of all the equine lovers I've had there's been nothing that could be called a clear sign that they would be open to the idea of taking a human lover from any particular group of mares, aka maiden fillies, green riding mares or older proven brood mares, each just decided what they wanted and when.

I’ve heard stories of mares coming on to human males when they’re in heat. Almost as if they know human males can satisfy them. Stories such as mares borderline pinning the human male to the wall of her stall with her rear to simply coming up to the human male and just facing her rear towards him, moving her tail and winking. I’m not sure how common this is though.

I hear a lot that mares tend to “flirt” with human males in general when it comes to the equestrian field.

I've been winked at before, at least twice in my life. It's kinda flattering in it's way. Probably not something that's very "researched."

All completely true, so much so that there's even a medication for postponing estrus in mares used for showing and the like that get way too "excited" when in heat.

I'm one of the "lucky" ones that a lot of mares start going "fuck me now" soon after we meet, it's common enough that a equestrian is embarrassed by their mares behavior and doesn't even consider there might be another reason why a mare is acting like that ?

Interesting! I wonder why that is? Maybe a certain scent you carry naturally?

Absolutely true. Mares can flirt with men. Very often even those who do not know that a man can satisfy them (when they are in heat)other mares have shown me their heat dozens of times. Although my beloved is the only mare I have been with..
The thing is that horses understand perfectly well what our gender is. After all, our hormones are the same. But when a mare understands that a person can help her in her need, everything immediately becomes much more "interesting".

For example, my beloved, when she got tired of waiting for an answer from me, simply pressed me with her butt against the wall of her stall and left an excellent imprint of her "femininity" on my white T-shirt (she was in heat regularly from the age of two, but I did not answer her until she was 2.4 years old).

Regarding diseases, this is also possible, the most common is "ascending infection" The simplest disease that can appear in a mare from the fact that she had diarrhea and her feces got inside the vagina (the reason why you can not alternate anal sex with vaginal), to the transmission of bacteria sexually. If you are going to change partners without showering(at least) between sexual acts, you should be sure that they are both absolutely healthy.

I can also advise you to read my short article, which touches on a topic that is rarely raised on the forum.

Interesting. It’s wild to see that there’s such a thin line between man and horse when it comes to that topic.

I’d imagine that the risk for the horse having that common disease would be obvious. That is, if you have a healthy horse and then one day come out to find her all messy back there from having diarrhea. That would be the first clue. I’d then have a vet look at her to make sure she’s still healthy.

I’ll look into this article. Thanks for sharing.

Finding out that your horse has diarrhea is not a pleasant situation. But by the way, if you know your horse well enough, you don't necessarily need to call a vet. Since horses can get it even from a simple change of hay or feed. It's also not necessary that she will immediately catch an infection, you just need to wash her right away (it would also be a good idea to douche her vagina with a light infusion of oak bark - a natural antiseptic).
But if the horse is lethargic, the diarrhea does not stop after a couple of hours (in order to calm the horse's stomach, you can give her barley straw, it has an astringent effect). Then you need to see a veterinarian. You begin to see the difference in cases with experience.
 
For example, for me (as well as for every other responsible zoo), one look at my horse is enough to understand that something is wrong. But unfortunately, it is almost impossible to learn this from theory (unless, of course, you graduated from a veterinary institute), for this you need practice and hundreds of hours next to the horse.

Ok. Holistic methods should always be practiced first. So how would one douche her vagina? Is there a product that’s sold for horses or is there a “homemade” way of going about this? This is very interesting as I’ve never heard of these holistic care methods for horses before.

A regular enema with a soft spout. It won't be possible to rinse deeply and it's not necessary. The disease is called "ascending infection" because it is first located at the entrance and over time, without treatment, goes deeper. The task is to rinse the entrance.

And this is not holistic medicine, but ordinary. Why stuff a horse with chemicals if you can get by with a natural remedy (but only at the very first stages of the disease).

Oh ok. I see now. Natural remedies is what I meant. Good to know.
 
Do you think plan on partaking in any sports with her?
Do you intend to ride her?
Are you more happy about a horse that don't require much exercise?

Which action do you specifically mean as her "proposition" in this context?

My most senior mare who's 31 and has been with me since she was just coming 3 is a real flirt and will often 'check out' male visitors most of whom are zoo with a crotch nuzzle. I can quite clearly hear her saying 'I wonder how you fuck?' She sucks up affection and attention like a sponge and will give soft 'winks' when her mareness is stroked gently.

My miniature molly mule will back up to me, drop her head and mouth (a trait for female long ears) soliciting intimate embrace when in estrous. Unfortunately mules, being hybrids, don't cycle with any regularity like jennies and mares do. When they do through they are often nymphomaniacs. I posted a thread titled Mule Tease (Audio Only) here:

Again sexual receptivity and solicitous behavior can and does vary tremendously by individual...

Ride occasionally. I do appreciate the tone look some horses get, but I’m sure that comes with daily exercising.

One of the European breeds that have come after mixing in some hot Arabian blood in them, a bit calmer than Arabian full bloods, could that be something?

All thoroughbred horses are hot-tempered. Now there are only three breeds that are considered thoroughbred: Arabian, English and Akhal-Teke. Other breeds will be "calmer" - some less, others more.

The calmest will be heavy draft horses (according to the classification they belong to cold-blooded horses), but you should not expect spectacular heats with screams (fuck me quickly), which complicates the beginning of your relationship. Heavy draft mares can quite often have such a thing as "Hidden heat".

For a beginner, the best choice would be a calm filly of "warm-blooded" breeds, the choice of which is huge and here it is worth starting from the preferences of the future groom, the thickness of his wallet and the characteristics of the horse (if you are 1.75 tall, then you should not take a mare 1.85 at the withers ... otherwise you will need a stepladder to get to her.?)

I want a warmblood mare for the sake of the calm temperament. However, after reading this, i may reconsider.

The confident “make all the noise you want and move how you want. I’ll just stand here” mentality of a horse sounds best for a beginner horse owner. Every warmblood I’ve met was an absolute sweetheart. But I also know that there are other horses with this same temperament that aren’t drafts or draft mixes. You just have to find them.

It would be nice if there was a directory here with anonymous recommendations on breeders to buy from so we can know what breeders are selling calm and reliable horses in good standing health. I know some just aren’t cared for at all.

Absolutely. I just want to make sure I’m doing my due diligence in making sure I have the right knowledge on all aspects.

As for the right individual, that’s just it. I want to make sure I’m able to find the right mare. I know age is just a number, but I also know that for a first time horse owner, the younger mares tend to be a little harder to handle and train on basic horsemanship. The primary goal is to just find a mare that is calm, loving, and friendly around all humans. Any mare under 4 years of age is where I’d draw the line. 4 years and older seems best, but again, at the end of the day, it’s all about the personality.

I’ve read both of these articles. Great reads! Although, I do need to refresh my memory on the first one. It’s been a while since I’ve read it.

I would absolutely love to direct message you. I love the wealth of knowledge that is here and hope to build great friendships in this community.
