I have a almost 3 yo black and white pinto mare and am thinking about next year of breeding her. Right now I show her in halter. I'm just considering it as something I might like to do, and then my mare I would put back to showing. I'm not sure whether I would keep the foal or sell it.
Here are my questions. I know of two stallions that two people that are my friends who I HIGHLY regard that I thought I'd like to possibly choose from . However, the problem is one shows A and the other is AMHA furtuity Nominated. I show R, I don't show A so if you have a sire with a good show record, in A and NOT in R does that REALLY matter, OR does it just matter to the individual? If you were buying an A/R horse would you want to see the sires show record from R, or would it matter what registry?
Does it matter when their show record was done or just that they had one?
When do you start looking for that stallion?
Do you have to promote your mare to be choosen to be bred by a stallion or how does it go?
How do you know whether to choose a solid or a pinto? I did contact an Animal Genetics place to get her tested to find out whether she carries the pinto gene or not. Is it just a matter of preference that you go with a solid or a pinto?
IF she does have the pinto gene will she throw a pinto if I breed her to a solid?
She's 32" do I try to ONLY breed to a 32" and under to make sure she's safe?
As you can tell I've NEVER bred a mini before so this is all new to be. I can't believe I'm even entertaining the idea. I thought well I'll see and get some idea's and see what I come up with.
Thanks for helping me. Any answers will be appreciated. TJ
