Breeding Your Mares
Permalink Closed


Has anybody bred their mare/s this year or are planning on breeding this year? If so, to which stallion did you pick and what is your intention for the foal? aww

Not breeding this year - sold both mares that have had foals for me and now need to wait a year for my homebreds to be old enough to be bred and the new colt will need 2 years to start breeding.

We now no longer have any - what I call full draft crosses - being 1/2 draft - in the program (other than hubby's horse who is not used for breeding). As we are at the planned shift in the program where our horses are now 1/2 wb and either 1/4 or 1/8 draft only.

Not breeding this year. Sold the semen. We don't know how long the mare has (badly foundered in one foot), and we're no good at selling horses, and I already have one riding horse, one yearling, and Mom has the mare, plus her riding mare.... there's only so many one can manage without property!

 Sold my broodmares, no ROI in breeding right now. Horse market is plummetting and not forcasted to improve anytime soon.

don't know how old this thread is, but I'm planning a 2012 breeding, anyone else? Considering there is just a few short weeks until the new year!

I will be breeding my solid 16.1 hh appaloosa mare by A Coolest Skip (3 time world Champion)

Her Sire:

And the Stallion: All Hands on Zip

Hoping for a 16-16.1 black, bay, or liver chestnut small blanket and crome. Colt would be preferable as then I can replace my retired show gelding, and add some refinement to my mares confo. Not picky at all. LOL
