go down again until June 21.

is a day or two either side of June 22. From then on, the sun is up for a shorter
period each day, until December 22.

Periods of daylight start getting longer after the winter solstice, which is 21 Dec in the north.
Usually December 21st or 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere and June 20th or 21st in the Southern Hemisphere.
In the northern hemisphere, the amount of daylight starts to increase after December 21st. As it is only by a few minutes per day, it won't be really noticeable for another few weeks.

How often does a mare in Australia come into season?
I'm interested in any answer to this too.. I live in the Southern Hemisphere but in a country where the mare would start coming into season when the daylight hours start getting longer, but I guess in Australia the daylight hours are similar during most seasons? Normally once the breeding season starts the mare will have a cycle of three weeks. About six days in season and then two weeks 'off heat'.
