| Has anyone had this problem? She does it when she's in heat or not.
Is there any way to stop it or do we just accept it? Why does she do it? It can't be a good thing? |

Does the mare have a caslick? Frequently pain/infection issues are caused by urine pooling, aspirated air, fecal material, bacterial infections etc which can be eliminated by a caslick. I really find it amazing that so many people do not put caslicks in their performance mares to address these problems and protect their reproductive health. |

Location: TEXAS | Had a mare that pee'd from start to finish. If she wasn't peeing she wasn't running fast enough... Everywhere we went people knew not to stand near the alley or they'd get wet, we never had any issues like cysts or infections and she wasn't caslicked... She was rotten on the ground but when you threw a leg over she was all business... She was basically born in my lap... RIP girl |

Location: NE TX | Agreed. Caslicks if she doesn't have it and that will really help. My mare did it all the time and the caslicks didn't ELIMINATE it 100% be as long as I don't work her past her limit and upset her for a long period of time she doesn't pee anymore. |

Agreed. All of the mares I've run (which is only 4 because I'm not a mare person) have been caslick'd. Sad thing is, so many people don't even know what that is anymore. But, any mare I run won't be without it. I have a 3 year old mare right now, she'll get it in done her 4 year old year. I will keep her because I raised her and love her but, hopefully she's the last mare I ever have! If I breed her someday, she better have a colt!  |

Location: South Central Florida | We had a Champion mare that did it when she got older. We never identified a problem. Had her tested but Vet decided it was just her confirmation (she kind of literally bowed in). We never were able to stop it, sometimes it didn't happen, other times it did, but she won 2nd at NHSRA and Won a bunch of rodeo's doing it. I kind of got used to it. It didn't seem to bother her. We did do a Caslik on this mare when she was about 18, but she passed away from other issues the same year, so I can't say if it helped or not.

Location: Michigan | My mare has always done it, had everything check out and could not get a definitive answer. She was caslicked when I bought her and at first the vet thought it was a little tight so I had them removed. Once I did that she still pee'ed but it seemed to happen less often, we were thinking with as tight as she was sewn up it was either painful or pooling up inside. |

| My mare, I had on total equine feed for two years, she started peeing when I ran. Took we to vet did sonogram, she had calcium build up in bladder, basically she was so irritated inside it hurt her to evacuate her bladder. Vet did a dog meds Catharized directly in bladder did it twice. We put her on Chinese herbs , bucca leaves to help her relieve her bladder. I ran her on lasix 3 cc 2 hrs out to help her flush her bladder. I have her on nettle herbs hand full at night no lasix now she is peeing normaly. I just had the hair analysis done on her, they will do a supplement compound to help her get all the high levels normal and low levels up to normal, such as cobalt, metal toxins , etc.
