Kent Stallions

with that in mind I guess there are pros for AI even though I was sure I wanted Elysia covered naturally. I have a very good vet but apparently if he performs the AI there is only a 30% chance conception would be successful???

That would suggest that he isnt a very good AI vet then

as the figures should be a good deal higher than that.
 
Well when he expalined the process it sounded like a very exact science and you may be right, although he is a fab vet in general, his strenths may not lie in this field......Heelp!!! Im getting even more confused

I realise I have been extremely lucky but my 3 year old was put in foal this year, via AI and took first time. My holstein took 2nd time trying and this is her first foal too. There are very few people I would trust with either of my horses but I am very fortunate to have them at a stud I trust with a great ai technician.
Thanks for the info JH, the mare I am thinking of for him has Cardino/Lord lines with Ladykiller already in the sire and dam lines plus Landgraff so I think would be a good match as long as it is ok genetically. (I am really new to breeding so still learning re lines and mixing them etc) Now off to search for a nice Trakehner stallion for my filly for next year, if only man shopping was as fun and interesting!

It does involve regular scanning and having a vet that can try and second guess when a mare should ovulate as timing is crucial but if you are using semen based in England and the mare comes on quicker than anticipated there is always the option to drive to the stud and collect it the day it is needed .
Gives an even better chance as well.
