Hi! as most of you know - I have a little filly,Rio, she is now 10wks old (or will be tomorrow) and about a week ago I saw he wee in the field and just moments later she winked a little and squirted a bit more, then she went running off and I havent seen that behaviour since - Surely she is not having seasons at 10wks of age?? When do they start showing seasons?

Many thanks for any responses
Kim : )
