-nope why should I not in the benefit of the stallion /me >Do you do any research as to genetic defects on the mare's side? -no, I think it´s the mare owners thing (as we do have very little genetics deffects in Icelandic´s) but if I own the mare myself I wouldn´t breed if I new of any. >Do you consider her conformation and how it will match with the stallion? Of course that is what breeding is about to find the perfect match,isn´t ?! >What other considerations would there be in breeding? >Judy first to make up your breeding goal, buy the mare´s that you find that fit´s your breeding goal then start to look for a stallion. Do you have place to bring up youngster? they do take/need place Food do they get what they need? are you sure? sometimes people breed a great mare to a great stallion ($) and forgot the rest.......... so sad.........but it happens.
