Breeding older mares
This message is from: morrisshado...@aol.com 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.

breeding older mares
This message is from: Debby miss.am...@earthlink.net I know that I've heard stories of older mares getting bred, pasture bred, even happening with juvenile studs, not thinking they themselves were old enough to breed. I'm not against breeding though seems with so many out there needing homes, one would or should have good reason to breed. An older mare that one has loved dearly and the owner intends to keep the youngster for themselves, and keep mom so she can live her senior years in comfort and at the home she knows. Its such hard times out there, I know many responsible breeders have cut their breeding programs back or put off for a year or so, spending more time on working/training the young ones they have. It does seem to me I'm not seeing so many listed for sale, the fjords here on the list. But maybe that will change come spring, early summer, when last years are ready to find new homes or new ones born this year. My own Ambers mom I think might have been up in years, I'd have to look back at her papers. One I'd placed had a foal at just over 20yrs. of age I think, her first. Good luck with what you decide.

RE: breeding older mares
This message is from: Linda Lottie horselo...@hotmail.com Debby...wise words on this cold Saturday morning in WI. My fjord mare is 15 - she is our darling and I would love to have another foal from her. However, I will not. My daughter owns her 8 year old son.and at my age (nearing ss), bringing a foal into my herd seems selfish. I have plenty of horses to work with and enjoy. There are plenty of nice foals available for purchase if I wanted a new fjord Still, I love this mare so much and she is such a wonderful mother.has nice babies, with her good qualities. So, instead, I choose to find joy in the memories of the birth of her son and really love watching my daughter love and enjoy owning him. If my daughter showed interest in expanding her horse numbers I might be tempted to breed my mare.but, one horse is enough for a busy veterinarian with a full and multi-facted life.
