This image illustrates the process of teasing, which is a vital part of routine gynaecological management of mares.
Question | Answer | Article | |
What are the advantages of the method illustrated? | The stallion is in a stable with a half-door open through which he can put his head and freely move. The mare to be teased can be presented to him individually behind a teaser board so she cannot move away; injury to mare, stallion or handlers is less likely.

How do you interpret the teasing results shown? | This mare appears to be showing very good oestrous behaviour: she stands still with the stallion, leans her hindquarters to the stallion and is urinating. However, there are enormous individual differences between mares.
