There is an old wife's tale, to put pennies in a mare's water bucket, to keep them from coming in heat.

Hmmm.... how many? A few, or the entire contents of my penny jar? ;~D

[MissTargets]

And have many, many more!

Is that an American tale or British, do you know? I'll bet it's whatever the penny is made of (copper) that has an effect on the hormones. Really interesting, I'd like to try it and see if it works.
