[RC] To breed or not to breed - A. PerezI have always been interested in many aspects of horse- keeping, not just riding, and one interest that has peaked lately for me is breeding. I have always wanted to breed and raise my own foal, and possibly to breed foals for sale. Yes, I KNOW it is the most expensive way to get a horse, and no, I have no delusions about making money at it... it would be purely a hobby. SO: thoughts? pro's and cons? Am I crazy? How long is a brood mare 'out of commission' when pregnent and with foal at side? Is it feasible to pony a un-weaned foal on the trail (not at rides, just pleasure riding)? For those of you who breed, what are the pluses and minuses? What do you 'get out of it'?
