How do you breed your mare with out paying?

Answer 1

Some stallion owners will breed a mare for free under certain circumstances.

For instance, a mare with certain breeding or performance qualities that are deemed a good genetic match for a stallion may be offered a free or reduced cost breeding.

A stallion owner may breed a mare in exchange for work or services.

Some states/ countries have improvement programs that offer stallion services at a reduced cost. (There may be the possibility of a free breeding associated with this

type of program even though I have no personal knowledge of one.)

A stallion owner may be interested in a foal sharing agreement where the stud fee is

waived and there is an agreement on ownership of the resulting foal(s) over 2 or more breeding seasons.

A mare owner may also find a backyard breeder who has kept an intact colt and just believes he's worthy of reproducing. There are many sites on the internet and a mare owner may just "luck out" that the "free" breeding is near by.

Individuals who are looking for a free breeding because they cannot otherwise breed their mare need to be cautioned that the stud fee is just the beginning of their expenses and that, while relatively rare, there can be substantial risk to the mare or

the foal produced which may be quite costly.

Further, the use of a stallion strictly based on a no cost breeding is very unlikely to produce a foal with superior breeding or conformation and may result in an animal with questionable temperament.
