It is 4 years for mares and 3 years for stallions.Wild Windy Stables wrote:I have this mare who's 3 years old and I want to breed her, I forgot the age where she can start to breed.... Can someone tell me??

Does anyone know why it's set at those ages for breeding? Is it actually realistic?
P.S. Wild Windy Stables, i bought Apache Ghost off you. Thankyou! She's beautiful. I bred her with my Palomino TB Stallion.

Yes, this is realistic. Male horses can actually 'cover' a female before they're 3 years, but these breedings don't often result in a viable pregnancy. Females are similar. In fact, a female younger than four years can actually be injured by the male if she's introduced too young, in such a way that she won't be able to become pregnant later in life (not that it's a regular occurrence, but it can happen and occasionally results in this). Just like many other living creatures in real life.Sun Valley Ranch wrote:Does anyone know why it's set at those ages for breeding? Is it actually realistic?

I think, though I could be wrong, that most cases, the suggestion for mares is 5 years and stallions is 4, though there's less risk of injury for stallions, if the mare is a quiet mare.
