Foundation stock (mares and stallion) are the progenatiors of a whole breed or a bloodline within a breed.

A foundation mare should have as near perfect conformation as possible and have a very good temperament. At some point they should also have had a decent show career / record to prove they are worthy of breeding. The same thing applies to stallions.

If you are trying to create a new breed (not a good idea there are enough breeds already) then you'll want a mare with the qualities you are looking for in the new breed.

If it's to start a new bloodline within an already existing breed, then all of the above still holds true, but you'll need the mare to be registered, as well as any stallion she is bred to. It can take decades for a new bloodline to take off, so breeders must be patient and not over breed.
