Selective breeding is very popular among people who have horse breeding farms. Selective breeding is used to get certain traits for the future foal. For example, if somebody had a stallion (male horse) that has won many races, a person with a mare (female horse) would want to breed to that stallion in hopes of producing a foal that would be good at running races.
In the wild, horses are not domesticated, therefore breed with any horse they please from age 1 and up. Wild horses are smart, though, and know what horses are related to them so they will not inbreed.
