    Twenty multiparous Quarter Horse mares were assigned to one of two treatment groups at 40 to 75 d of pregnancy. Group 1 was the control group and the mares were fed to maintain a moderate degree of body fat (condition score 5.5 to 7). Group 2 was the obese group and the mares were fed to achieve (prepartum) and then maintain (post partum) an extremely high degree of body fat (condition score 9). Estrous intensity was evaluated using subjective teasing scores ranging from 0 (rejection) to 4 (maximum receptivity). Mares were artificially inseminated beginning with the second postpartum ovulatory cycle; the study was terminated after 63 d of pregnancy. Duration of estrus, maximum teasing score and the number of mares exhibiting overt estrus (teasing score > 2) did not differ between treatment groups during the first and second postpartum ovulatory cycles. The intervals from foaling to first cycle ovulation, foaling to second cycle ovulation, and first to second cycle ovulation were also similar between treatment groups. All mares in both treatment groups conceived and maintained pregnancy. The first cycle conception rate and the number of cycles per conception did not differ between treatment groups. A high degree of body fat produced by overfeeding during gestation did not adversely affect postpartum reproductive performance in the multiparous mare.
