Breeding equines is a responsibility and not just a way to cheaply obtain another animal, whether to keep, or to sell. Educating yourself and paying attention to detail during the process will ensure that the animals you breed are healthy, well-mannered and safe during the breeding process and foaling. Breeding stock should be kept in the most stress-free environment possible to produce both happy and healthy parents and more trainable offspring. Good hygiene should always be practiced to avoid the spread of disease and other health problems.
