Hello! I was wondering if anyone has pointers or guides for culling mares and stallions. I want to try and make sure I am breeding the better horses and putting all my money into better matches. If anyone has any tips or guides for this it would be very much appreciated! Thank you!

Brinley (an old astonishing barn) said she gave each mare 3 breeding chances then sold/free ranged or used for showing only. So that is what I do. For stallions it is quicker to decide as they breed more times per year. They do normally breed well in their first year. But it is hard to decide if this co-insides with a year when your own mares produce ppp after ppp! But after 10 breedings with OK mares you know if the stallion will ever be going to give what you want. You can sell or geld for showing only. If find it very hard to cull. But even harder to deal with a large barn. No getting away from it. Edited at February 7, 2025 09:46 AM by ZeroZero
