If the young horse has done well on the racetrack during his 2- and 3-year-old years, for instance, he may begin breeding mares as a 4-year-old.

Live cover breeding refers to the natural process where a stallion and mare are brought together to mate without any Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART). It contrasts with artificial insemination, where semen is collected from the stallion and then introduced into the mare's uterus.
