As I understand it, there are verbands (registries) in Europe which do allow breeding practices such as embryo transfer. This allows a performance mare to continue her performance career, rather than taking time off to bear and raise a foal. However, I also think that, with some of the verbands, the mare is required to show that she can carry a foal full term prior to reproducing via embryo transfer. Anyone else know more about this?
