A BSE might be insisted by a good vet, but it is a better start than reading magazines, searching the web, and visiting farms. It just makes good breeding cents to find a stallion that will complement your mare. Sure the cost of a foal is high, beginning with a quality, reproductively healthy mare, and a fertile stallion. And if your lucky stars line up a pregnancy followed by a wonderful birth, you might be well on your way to having the horse you always dreamed of owning.

Well, here is my 2 cents. We are planning to bred our 6 year old throughbred mare to a stallion. It took a lot of looking, talking, planning, and reading for this. This will be our first baby from this mare. So we want to do as much as we can the correct way. We even talked to our vet before we planned this. We talked about all the hard decisions if something goes wrong such as hard births, the baby dies, the mother dies. The vet, the stallion's owners like us and we like their horse. This year careful planning, and lots of praying is all we can do. Good Luck!
