Horses can cycle year round under the right circumstances.

Consistenly warm weather during the winter can result can bring the mare into

transitional heat.

Increased photo period can result in a return to heat.

The combination of lengthening photo period and temperature increases the chances that mares will cycle earlier in the year.

No, a horse cannot be in heat while pregnant. Pregnancy in horses lasts around 11 months, during which the mare does not go into estrus or come into heat. This is because pregnancy suppresses the hormonal changes that regulate the mare's estrous cycle.

Yes, but the likelihood is rare. Mares tend not to show signs of heat or estrus during this season. Even those mares that do show signs are usually not ovulating, and those that show signs and accept stallions during the winter months rarely become pregnant. The majority of estrus activity and mating occurs during the spring and summer, not the winter. Horses are seen to be seasonal polyestrus animals.
