Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Equine Reproduction

Background:

  • Recurrent cyclic behavioral problems can significantly impact a mare's trainability and performance.
  • Ovarian abnormalities or hormonal influences are common causes of such behavioral issues in mares.

Observation:

  • An eleven-year-old Warmblood mare presented with a history of recurring estrus-related behavioral problems.
  • These behaviors were disruptive to training and management.

Findings:

  • A standing bilateral laparoscopic ovariectomy was successfully performed on the mare.
  • The minimally invasive surgical approach facilitated straightforward recovery.

Implications:

  • Laparoscopic ovariectomy offers a viable and effective treatment for behavioral problems in mares.
  • This technique promotes a faster convalescence period, enabling a quicker return to equestrian activities.
