Subject: Re: Breeding mature mares


I personally would not buy a foal that was from an older mare and 
stallion.


I see horses  a lot like humans, health wise.

There is new research out there that says humans should not have babies 
after about age  40-45 years. [This applies to both male and female]
[I hear children born from older humans have a higher rate of mental 
disorders]


So, how old in regards to a horse??? I don't know,,, maybe  15-16 years? 
Laugh if you want to.

Greetings Mariah. To find a nice Fjord try Francis Creek Fjords. Patti Jo 
will

help you.


I agree 110%!!   Patti Jo is as honest as the day is long, and she will work 
tirelessly to match you with the PERFECT horse.
I have one in my barn from Patti, and couldn't be happier with her.  The 
horse is everything Patti promised, and then some.





You can see my grey Fjords, Stormy and Tonka at www.nceft.org.
They are therapy
horses plus I ride and drive them single and as a pair. We
have another Fjord at
our facility, Sebastian, and he is the best therapy
horse ever.




How about some pictures and stories about those therapy fjords, Bonnie?
I'd love to hear more about Sebastian (of course)
and also to see pictures of your team!  LOVE THE GREY FJORDS!!


Mary Blatz in cold and snowy upstate NY, where the fjords are fuzzy and 
perfectly happy outside!

Don't know why not...As I said, you may want to have your vet check her for
breeding soundness first, but I have bred "teenaged" mares for the first time
quite a few times when I raised QH's. Fjords shouldn't be much different.

I had a mare that had her last two foals at 22 & 24 with no problems. I also
personally know of several other mares that were still happily raising foals
in their mid 20s.

As long as the mare is healthy and you provide proper care and feed there
should be no reason not to breed her at 19.

Do get her checked by your vet for breeding soundness if you have any doubts.

A "Lurker" is usually the word to describe a person who follows and reads an
Email list but normally doesn't post to it.

Definition of a List lurker and is someone who reads & belongs to the 
list, but seldom posts anything.  The term is not meant to be derogatory 
and I would guess the majority of us are lurkers.  I fall into that 
category and have gained so much knowledge from just being a Lurker.
