Breeding question

[tormor]

I was reading my friends essay last night and in it she had said that hot blooded horses have a longer breeding season than cold bloods. I asked her why and she didn't know, checked the journal she got it from and that didn't help. Any of you lot know the answer?

I think you're friend has got this the wrong way round. Hot bloods, as in thoroughbreds, tend to be bred in time for a 1st of Jan birth date so this would give a very small breeding window vs. warmbloods/native types which typically are born any time in the spring/early summer so have a longer breeding season.

I hope that helped.

yeah Tbs tend to be under lights and have early induced cycling, more than the native studs do.
