Knowing where your mare is at in her cycle is crucial and by using the cream, you can help her maintain a regular cycle. If she is due to come into estrus (season/heat) during the show/event dates, you may continue usage rather than taking the recommended 6 days off of the cream. This may ‘stall’ her estrus for a few days. If she does come into estrus while at the show/event, keep her on the cream until after the show. Then discontinue cream for 6 days or until her estrous ends, whichever comes first.
