Re: Breeding Lease

[Lee Ann Feissner <laf@intergrafix.net>]

Another factor you should consider is the age of your mare and considering the
"down time" since her last foal. Usually if a mare hasn't foaled in 5 years she is
considered maiden. Which might be tricky trying to cover. Plus more difficulties
might occur during delivery. I would definitely talk this over with a vet that is
very familiar with breeding.

Leasing a breeding mare is a common practice and can be profitable if your mare is
well taken care of. Linda has some very good points. You really have to do your
homework on this one.

Keep me updated on your decision.
