FAQ
Stallions will typically remain fertile beyond their 20th year of age. The age that stallions stop producing spermatozoa will vary between stallions. It is important that semen is routinely evaluated on all stallions, especially when using older stallions because of the expected decrease of semen production with age.
Despite early breeding (between two and five years) having yielded some good results anecdotally, most horse owners, breeders and equine veterinarians hold that the best age to breed a mare is in the 5 to 10 years of age range, with the caveat that the mare should have her first foal well before the age of 10 if she is ...
Mature stallions can breed two or three mares a day throughout a long breeding season and maintain a good level of fertility, but young stallions should not be expected to handle this level of work.
A. Most yearlings and two-year-olds can and will breed under good circumstances. There's probably not a horse practice without a firsthand story of the pregnant filly that was only with a colt until a year of age. So for sure, many fairly young colts can be fertile.
Frozen semen requires insemination within hours of ovulation so the mares must be very carefully watched. You should budget $800-$1300 per cycle in veterinary costs to do fresh cooled or a very carefully timed live cover. For frozen semen $1200-$1600 is not uncommon.
If a colt appears to be breeding, does that mean he is mature enough to impregnate the mare? A. Most yearlings and two-year-olds can and will breed under good circumstances. There's probably not a horse practice without a firsthand story of the pregnant filly that was only with a colt until a year of age.
This will occur until the mare is fully sexually receptive, and is close to ovulation. When she is, it has been suggested the stallion will breed her 4-10 times (some say 4-5 times, others 8-10) in the 18-24 hours where she is in full standing heat.
The gestational period of a horse is 11 months, so a mare can be bred once a year. The care of a pregnant mare is pretty much the same as caring for any other horse. You'll exercise a pregnant mare just as you would any other horse, until the last 2 to 3 months.
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.
Often stallions collect on a schedule (e.g. Monday, Wednesday and Friday). Some stallions may collect any day they are needed. Paint and quarter horse stallions commonly collect every other day from February 15 to July 15.
