FAQ
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.
A stallion used for breeding is known as a stud.
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.
With live cover, two horses are brought together and physically bred to each other. The benefits of live cover are that it requires less equipment, the sire is guaranteed, and the breed cannot be dominated by a few stallions.
To check for normal foal behavior, Delvescovo applies the “one, two, three” rule: Foals should be standing within one hour. Within two hours, the foal should be nursing and the mare passing the placenta. Foals should be passing meconium (their first feces) within around three hours.
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.
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.
