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.
How old is too old? A: As a general guideline, broodmares are past their reproductive prime as they approach about 15 or 16 years old. That being said, of course there are mares out there successfully foaling past this age and well into their twenties.
A good breeding stallion should have: Calm Disposition: A gentle and cooperative nature. Willingness to Work: Eagerness to perform tasks and learn. Good Behaviour: Minimal aggressive or undesirable behaviours.
As your mare ages, her uterus also ages. A 9–13-year-old mare who is in her prime competition/riding age only has a 30% pregnancy rate. In 14–18-year-old mares that rate decreases to 10%, and if the mare is over 18 years old, we are looking a 2% pregnancy rate.
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.
From ages 4 to 15, mares are in their reproductive prime. But from 15 to 20, their fertility declines, says McCue. Reproductive problems only continue to intensify in mares older than 20. Of course, each mare is an individual with her own health history and genetic tendencies.
If he's healthy and fertile, stallions can breed into their 20s(basically, until they can't; kind of like men).
