I'm hoping we can be moved by march or april so I can breed Sarah Lee as planned. I really think I will have to pasture breed her. She never shows any signs of being in heat.

Ultrasounds will take care of that. That's what I always do since I don't have a stallion handy. I just take the mare to the vets and let him ultrasound her and he can tell you how many days it'll be before she comes into heat the next time by looking at the size of her ovaries. They can get pretty darned close too, if not right on the money. It sure saves a lot of time and effort.

I think she will show signs just fine when exposed to a stallion. The stallion owner will handle all the breeding so you don't have to worry about that. A vet check when you get ready to do this will tell you approx. where she is in her cycle.
