🐴 MARE OWNERS — WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES YOU CHOOSE A STALLION?
When you’re scrolling through stallions and planning your next foal, what really catches your attention — and more importantly, what makes you commit?
Is your priority…
💰 Price — does the service fee need to fit the budget?
🧬 Breeding & pedigree — are particular bloodlines important to you?
🏆 Proven results — do you want to see that the stallion has actually performed and proven himself?
📸 Photos and videos under saddle — do you want to see how he moves, performs, behaves and is ridden?
📐 Conformation — are you looking closely at strengths, weaknesses and how he complements your mare?
🧠 Nature & trainability — how important is temperament, especially if you’re breeding something you ultimately want to ride yourself?
🎨 Colour — does producing something a little different influence your decision?
✈️ The newest “import” — does being newly imported or having overseas bloodlines add appeal?
👶 Progeny on the ground — would you rather see what a stallion is consistently producing than simply look at the stallion himself?
Or is it a combination of everything?
And here’s another one… what would make you rule a stallion OUT, even if you loved him at first glance?
