DON'T breed unless you are certain you can provide the foal with a good home for the rest of it's life. Too many horses are going to slaughter. Get a knowledgeable horse person to help you. Find a reputable stallion to breed to. Do you have enough money to care for the mare if everything goes wrong, plus more? Do you have the facility to care for a foal? Why are you breeding? If it's because you want to see horses mate or see a baby being born, go on YouTube and watch that. But if it's because you really think you can give the foal a life and a gentle home, then it's worth doing the reasearch. AndalusianGirl.
