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.
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 STALLION SERvICE REPORT must be filed prior to midnight, january 15 of the following year by the recorded owner or recorded lessee at the time of exposure or use of a registered stallion that was exposed to or whose semen was used to inseminate a registered mare anytime during the preceding twelve (12) consecutive ...
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 ...
Stallions may always be “on,” but that doesn't mean they can constantly breed. After all, they do need time to eat, sleep, exercise, and socialize. What is this? A stallion can typically cover one to three mares a day and about 30 to 40 mares in one year.
On average, however, males become fertile after six months of age and reach full sexual maturity by 12 to 15 months.
Fertility starts declining when a horse is around twenty; stallion managers will make the decision to “pension” a horse (retire him from stud) when his fertility has declined to the point where it doesn't make any sense to keep breeding him, since he's not getting mares in foal anymore.
“You may have to introduce the stallion to multiple mares. He may have been disciplined enough in his life that it takes him a long time to figure out that it's ok to have an or be loud around a mare. It's okay for him to just be a stallion.” You also need a mare that is in a good heat.
Maturity: Stallions typically reach sexual maturity between 12 to 24 months, but they may not be fully physically and mentally mature until they are around 3 to 5 years old. Breeding too early can lead to lower fertility rates and potential health issues. Fertility: A stallion's fertility can decline with age.
Most young stallions that begin a breeding career have already proven themselves in a racing career. 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.
