Horses are not humans and their reproductive system is not the same. Just google horses mare reproduction and you will find out all sorts of researched factual information on them. Genetic defects don't come from age, but DNA they don't have the same risks and issues as humans. Here is one link http://www.equine-reproduction.com/articles/myths.shtml . There are many more. Just do some research on the topic it is very interesting. I do have a few horses born of old parents and they are of excellent quality. Sometimes it is is worth the efforts for an exceptional bloodline. I leased an expensive older warmblood mare and got a wonderful foal. That is how many breeders get a start is with older mares that have had and outstanding show or race career that carry great breeding lines, but are now affordable, because of age, but still can produce several foals.
