A stallion used for breeding is known as a stud.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
