Location: Texas		We are recommending not to put them in anymore. That's what's being taught to us in school. There's not enough data to prove that they actually work, and there have been numerous cases of the marble's breaking into pieces while in the uterus, and in doing so destroyed the uterine tissue. Of course that doesn't happen all the time, but if it happens just once, it's too big of a risk for me.

We had asked about marbling a mare we had (horrible heat cycles) and our vet said if you never have plans to breed her then it's something to look into; however, if you every think there may be a possibility of wanting to breed the mare then don't. He said the marble itself can cause damage making implantation harder and infections from the marble can render the horse sterile.


Just curious, if someone has no plans for breeding, and the mare suffers from horrible heat cycles, is spaying a viable option?

Yes but it's about 1000-1500 rough estimate to do and you would have to disclose it if you ever wanted to sell. You can do it standing or laying down.

Location: East Texas		 I had a mare that hard started bucking, went to the vet and found a hematoma on her ovary. Once it was gone, I chose the marble route and it was the best thing for my mare. She didnt show signs of heat and she never had an issue. She kept her for 4 years. I just went to the vet and had it removed in order to breed her this year. She began cycling normally. I honestly didnt realize how much it helped her until I took it out!
