What is the best breeding method for horses?

The ability to cool and freeze equine semen makes it feasible to ship semen from one location to another, giving mare and stallion owners more flexibility in their breeding program. A majority of breed associations have accepted the use of artificial insemination, cooled-transported semen and frozen semen.

How risky is it to breed your mare?

While it's true that a young, healthy mare should be able to produce a foal without a problem, as a breeder of a beloved mare you're wise to think about the risks. Specifically, if your mare is 15 years or older, she's at increased risk for a uterine artery rupture—a foaling complication that's almost always fatal.

How are horse breeds created?

Although breeds can look wildly different, they all belong to a single species: Equus caballus. Over thousands of years, people created different breeds by mating horses that have desirable traits. That's why the look of a breed is often related to what it's used for.

How do I breed my horses?

There are two general ways to "cover" or breed the mare: Live cover: the mare is brought to the stallion's residence and is covered "live" in the breeding shed. Artificial Insemination (AI): the mare is inseminated by a veterinarian or an equine reproduction manager, using either fresh, cooled or frozen semen.

How does a mare get pregnant?

Ovulation of the mare usually occurs 1 or 2 days before the end of the estrous period. To maximize the chances of fertilization, mating (or insemination) should take place 12 hours before or after ovulation. The first cycles of mares starting in March are irregular, making fertilization more likely in May/June.

How much does it cost to breed a horse?

Regardless of whether you send your mare to a veterinary clinic to be bred, or your veterinarian comes to your farm to do the job, it's typically going to cost anywhere from $300 to more than $600 per estrus cycle, depending on semen type: cooled or frozen (the latter process can be slightly more expensive).

Can horse breeding be profitable?

The horse industry is fickle and can't forgive failures. So even if the mare finally does produce, her value will be stifled by her earlier lackluster performers. The only people I know making big profits breeding mares and selling foals are the extremely wealthy who can afford to breed the very best to the very best.
