Re: breeding older mare
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Lou, this mare has rarely been used and should be contributing to her keep some way But I would probably then have four horses just standing around as I can not let them go. I had read that if a mare is not bred by twelve there would be problems.

Re: breeding older mare
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean, we had success getting a 15 year old QH mare in foal, first heat cycle. I beleive if the mare is in good condition, and showing heat cycles regularly, she is probably viable for breeding. All you can do is try :) Lou Jean, A mare past 10yrs of age that has never been bred can be tough to get in foal. Not impossible, but you should be prepared for some difficulties. Once you do get them in foal, then they seem to go a little easier the next time. Work with your veterinarian and time the breeding with ovulation as close as possible.
