Stallions should usually not mate more than three times a day, McGladdery says, to help prevent fatigue and reduced semen quality. So for many breeders, especially in the Thoroughbred market, that means the mare gets bred just once per cycle.
Typically, a share in a stallion syndicate entitles the share owner certain breeding rights to the stallion; principally, the right to breed to the stallion without paying stud fees.
Methods of mating. Pasture mating, hand mating and artificial insemination are the three methods used, with variations of each. Breed registry regulations vary regarding the use of artificial insemination.
