The ovary is the female Gonad homologous to the male Testes.The structures found within the ovary are undergoing constant changes throughout the oestrus cycle from the [[Follicles_- Anatomy & Physiology|Follicles]] containing [[Oogenesis - Anatomy & Physiology|Oocytes]], to the formation of [[Corpus Haemorrhagicum - Anatomy & Physiology|Corpus Haemorrhagicum]], [[Corpus Luteum - Anatomy & Physiology|Corpus Luteum]], and finally [[Corpus_Luteum_-_Anatomy_&_Physiology|Corpus Albicans]]. The ovaries of the mare are two bean-shaped structures situated ventral to the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, supported by the mesovarium. During the non-breeding season they measure 2-4cm in length and 2-3cm in width. During the sexually active stage, they are 6-8cm in length and 3-4cm in width.
