I am having a bit of a dilema at the moment. In 2010 I want to concentrate more on my riding again, and scale back the stud/breeding for a couple of years. I have a superb broodmare, winner of multiple county classes and championships, and dam of three very successful offspring. All three foals to date have won big county classes, and in a months time her first foal will be going for grading as a stallion. This mare throws quality foals time after time, and is a fantastic mum. However, I feel that if I want to spend more time on riding I wont have time for her, and wonder if I should loan her out. I wouldn't let her go just anywhere - I would want her to go to a home that intended to show her and breed quality stock. I have a 2009/2010 service voucher for £100 for an SHB(GB) approved stallion that I could let the loanee use. She is empty this year, we left her empty with the aim of putting her back in foal around February time.
I am thinking of advertising her for loan in H&H but am so worried as I've had some very bad experiences loaning, and loaning a broodmare is always risky. This mare means a lot to me, and I want to make the right decision. This is her at the South Suffolk Show earlier this year, winning the broodmare sporthorse class and standing reserve champion sporthorse;
