Jennys reacting to others in heat

[GlacierRidge]

I have two jennies, and one of them, when the other comes into heat, mounts her... I've seen cows do this, but not horses or donkeys... (I've seen geldings mount mares...but not mares mount other mares). Maybe a dumb question...but just curious if this is pretty common. The jenny being mounted does her mouthing thing, which I've learned is something donkeys do...and squats and pees immediately following being mounted by the other jenny.

The one that does the mounting with each heat cycle has been exposed to a jack as well, I'm also wondering if her mounting behavior might be a little hint as to if she is or is not bred? Probably not, but I am curious.

Had company from out of town this past weekend, and one of the girls was in heat and being mounted several times.... boy were there some questions from our guests! LOL

Yes... that is completely normal

I sure wish I had pictures to prove the train I have witnessed here

:

Also ... my girls have mounted others (in Heat OR Not) at 12 1/2 + months pregnant

The train?? Ohhh I'm picturing it...that would be a hilarious pic! LOL

I figured it was normal....but yes....a little embarrassing when you've got company over!

Normal and hilarious!! My jenny that foaled 2 weeks ago was in heat last week and my other jenny who is ready to pop any day was mounting her She looked so funny, her eyes were bulging and you could just see the look on her face like umph!!

: Then she would run over to the fence where our jack was and starts braying at him like "what are you doing buddy your suppose to be doing this not me"!!! :bgrin
