maiden mare breeding question

[Dynamic8999]

Hello I was looking for some advice on how tall of a stallion I could safely breed to my maiden mare. She is just 30.5". I would like some opinions on the tallest height I could breed to without causing her delivery problems. The stallions I own are between 33-34" which I think is too big. Thanks!

[SIZE=14pt]It isnt about tall, its about refinement, Thin fine bones.... up to 32 I would say but with very fine bones. Even if you go shorter than her , and the stallion is coarse or heavy boned you can have trouble. I bred a 33 inch maiden mare to a 35.5 inch VERY refined stallion. She is due end of June.[/SIZE]
