[RC] speaking of breeding: at what age can/should a filly be bred - A. PerezThere was a thread awhile ago about 2 year-olds being too young to breed, but I don't recall anyone saying how early one coukd/should breed a mare. I recently visited a relative of my husband who breeds fancy warmbloods (hanovarian/oldenburgs). She said she often breeds fillies at 2, which surprised me, though her 2 year-olds are HUGE and her stallion is less so. She said she has had no trouble with it, and her mares seem to hold up well. Part of the reason I asked for comments on my fillies confirmation was because, if I don't sell her, I might breed her (did get many responses, btw). She is 2 now, and I wouldn't breed her now as she has alot of growing to do... would her 3rd spring be too soon? ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ============================================================ Common sense should also be a part of the decision making process.
