Can't tell you the strength or dosage but like everything else we tried on my now old mare, even a shot EVERY week didn't stop her cycles. Had to spay her as the pain she was in made her miserable and unusable.
Did you have good luck after spaying? My mare was just spayed last week and so impatient to see if there is improvement. She was also in a lot of pain and seemed to cycle constantly.
Weeelllll, the bad news is that she still cycles, mostly when a new horse comes in the barn....AND she is still a crabby old wench
(spayed her 20 years ago
).
The GOOD news is that her pain issues were completely resolved. She became the grittiest, most consistent barrel horse who took great care of me and herself over the following 14 years. She had 30 FEET of small intestine removed when she was 15 and 100 days later I hauled her 900 miles
(1800 round trip
) to the Regional Finals were we ended up winning the average buckle. I would not trade her for Scamper or Fiesta or Bozo or any other big name horse. We never made the BIG bucks but I could always trust her, especially on the slickest, crappiest ground
(if I left her alone, and let her do her job, lol
).
I ended up spaying a second mare 3 years ago after fighting her ovaries and the pain they caused. I could tell you which side she was ovulating on and about how big the ovary/cyst was just by trotting her down the road! Despite her gorgeous looks, and desirable pedigree, I decided that I bought her to compete on, not to breed and spaying her made her MUCH more comfortable and consistent.
If you are looking for a change in dis
position, what you do get will be from removing the pain, but they will probably still be ALL crabby mare.
Here's to hoping you get the results you are looking for!
