What age to breed from mares?

[PollyHughes]

Hi everyone, I have a 2.5 yr old mare and been considering breeding from her for a while. She has fantastic confirmation and manners/attitude to die for. What age would you recommend best for breeding young maiden mares?
Thx Pol.

I personally would wait until she has a proven record in some area, although obv. everything else is there

3. Most of our eventers go in foal at 3 before starting their eventing career.
