I don't think bbmats statement is nieve at all, when put into the context of what he has written he has explained very well why he feels the way he does and he (personally) doesn't understand why someone would take this option. You are lucky that things turned out very well for you and your mare is happy and everything went hunky dory, that makes me very happy that you are happy with how things went BUT it could have quite easily not have! The whole point people have been trying to make is that the risks of injury are greatly reduced to mare and stallion, with covering inhand and even more greatly reduced for AI. Yes things can still go wrong, but with the mare turned out with the stallion the risks to both are alot higher and that can not be disputed at all, and if the mare and stallion suddenly fell out, lets face it horses do, even with the best of care and monitoring I doubt anyone could intervene quick enough, before an injury happened! My opinion is why risk it in the first place yours is different, but that by no means, means that someone is nieve, having seen bbmats and AndyPandys set up, neither could be called anything less than VERY EXPERIENCED! Its all very well taking one line of what someone has said and responding to it out of context but bbmats post clearly states the reasons why he feels that way and none of the opinions he has put are nieve, they are based on his experience and personal opinion.
