Mares can typically be bred once they reach sexual maturity, which usually occurs between 12 to 18 months of age, but it's often recommended to wait until they are at least 3 years old to ensure they are physically mature enough to handle pregnancy and foaling.
Key elements of an equine breeding contract typically include: Identifying all parties involved, including names, phone numbers, and addresses. Stallion name and registration number. Breeding fees, including amounts and payment methods.
A foal that survives for 24 hours (some contracts extend this to 72 hours) after birth. Less common are “no guarantee” breeding contracts in which the mare owner receives a breeding right for a season, but no rebreeding rights follow if the mare fails to generate a live foal.
Breeders and managers can pursue a degree in equine science or animal science, but employers often accept experience in the industry instead of a degree. Entry-level positions include grooms positions and internships in the breeding industry.

Breeding Horses Ensure that the two tamed horses are close to each other, then feed each horse (right-click or left trigger) with your Golden Carrot or Golden Apple. After feeding your horses, you'll see hearts starting to appear, and after a few seconds, they'll come together, and a foal (baby horse) will be born.
There are three main options here: live cover, fresh-cooled semen, or frozen semen. Live cover is a good option and has good success rates but there are risks for injury to both the mare and stallion as well as logistic impediments such as geography and travel.
Natural service is one of the most common methods of breeding used in the horse industry. In fact, some breeds, such as Thoroughbreds, require all foals to be born from live cover methods, rather than artificial insemination.
Horses are seasonal breeders, usually cycling from late spring to early fall each year. During the colder months of the year, when the days are shorter, mares will be in the anestrus, or non-cycling phase and the ovaries will be small; mares will not be fertile or capable of breeding during this period.
For instance, the mare is apparently one of the most infertile domestic animals. It is estimated that the average conception rate of all mares bred in the USA is only 55-60%.
