    Is there such a thing as 'a perfect horse'?

    my horse is perfect for me ;o) We will always want to improve on what we have, so I doupt perfection will ever be achieved. Agree Cruising is great, but not perfect, for perfect he would need to be Bay

    Fools breed Horses for wise men to buy ?

    it is just a old saying, I don't see why people are so offended about it? It is only highlighting that breeding horses is a difficult & risky business, I don't think any breeder would disagree with that. In this day and age of equine reproduction science & the technical data on...

    Is there an optimum age to breeed a mare's first foal ?

    I put a 3yo in foal, she took AI on first attempt so I had minimum costs to get her in foal. She has bloomed through this winter. I don't think she is too young as she will be a 4yo when the foal arrives. She is a very healthy and well grown mare. and had already proved herself inhand winning...
