Choosing a stallion to breed to your mare can be both exciting and daunting simultaneously, and it is a great reward to see the combination of the pedigree you have selected born and standing in the paddock.
Breeding is a long term investment – and from the time you send your mare until the foal you bred is of backing age, you are looking at approximately four years of investment, and if you are breeding to sell, approximately 2-3 years from when your mare conceives. How you select your stallion is just as important as the quality of the mare you wish to breed with.
Your mare will require a certificate from a vet confirming she is free of any disease that can be passed onto the stallion, prior to coverings taking place. The breeding season begins on 1 September and ends on 30 March, so ensure you are ready and have your mare booked to a stallion well in advance.
