Hi all,
As title, I've been offered my choice of a few mares. Two in particular got my attention as I think they would be a more commercial option.
One is by Burggraaf (13yo) and the other Argentinus (7yo), both are out of the same TB mare.
Breeding commercially is something that I have been keen to do for a long while, but had been putting it off as I wanted to know that I could afford to breed and potentially keep a foal (and its dam) if it didn't sell.
I had planned to start looking at broodmares at the end of 2019 but by coincidence a friend of a friend has currently stopped breeding due to a lack of time and funds, and is looking to downsize. I have made it completely clear that due to the timing, I'm not looking to purchase but following the loan I may put an offer in depending on the foal produced. If this opportunity came up this time next year, I wouldn't think twice!
My knowledge of the mares is a little limited at the moment but I'm in the process of getting competition records/sibling details/vet records.
Am I batshit crazy? Or just a little nuts?
