If you want to begin breeding horses, there is much to be learned. You will need to decide whether you want to buy a brood mare and find an outside stallion or buy both a sire and a dam.

The reason for this is so they will have an advantage in competition against horses in their age group. This differs from life in the wild where foals are often born in spring. The mating period, if you want your foal to be born in spring, should take place in early fall. There is lots of information about horse breeding to be found online and in books.
