Best Answer To Horses Question
Fillies can get pregnant at about two. Sometimes a little earlier. Stud colts can sire a horse shortly after their testicles drop. For most pasture horses that is about 18 months but with good grain they can drop at 12 months or sometimes sooner. I have known one to drop his at 10 months. Now you should wait until at least three to breed you filly that would make her four when she foals and relatively solid. Studs should not be bred until they are at least two and preferable at least three or even four. Make sure they are WELL trained to lead (riding helps too) so that they are easier to handle as studs. Be prepared for quite a change in attitude when they do begin breeding. They can become quite aggressive and hard to handle.

Answer 1i'd say at least 6 for both genders, so that you can make sure that they are fully grown and matured. if a 3 year old had a foal, the weight and stress put on still growing and developing bones could screw em up.
Answer 2well i have a horse of my own and i think when ever you want your horse to fall pregnant is best. but they can fall pregnant at about 4 - 5 yrs of depends on if the male or female like each other lol.
Answer 3Some mares can get pregnant before they are 2 years old. I have seen fillys come into heat at 18 months of age. Many times if a mare does get bred at an early age her own growth may be stunted as her body will use up growing energy to protect and grow a foal. A colt that has descended testicles can breed as soon as he figures out what his purpose in life is and he finds a willing female. I have seen colts as young as 14 months trying to mount mares. If a colt is not breeding material he should be gelded as soon as your vet feels he should be. I keep my colts and fillys separate after they become a year old. I hope this is what you were wondering about.

Answer 5I have a gelding who (before I bought him and had him gelded) got in with the neighbor mare and bred her at 11 months. Some friends that used to be in my saddle club had a big paint mare and as a 2 year old, they got her bred so she wouldn't grow anymore. I thought they had a disaster waiting to happen there, but thank goodness, everything worked out ok.
Answer 6the mare has to be 2 1/2 old to get pregnat and a male horse can be 12 months to get a mare pregnat.
Answer 7Around two for both, but that doesn't mean that you should do it that early, as they are still definetly growing!
Answer 8they suggest waiting until the mare has stopped growing to breed them 4-5 years. the stallion can breed as soon as the testicles have dropped 2-3 even as early as 1-2.
Answer 94 for the mare and wen the baby boy can get on is wen he can.
Answer 10Well as you can see there is a difference between can and should....speaking from experience I know a male colt can certainly breed before the age of 2 - my promptly gelded horse jumped the fence and bred with a quarter horse as a yearling! As far asmares, it definitely depends on breed and intended use - some people breed as young as 3/4 and some prefer to wait.
Answer 11Puberty occurs in colts at the age of eight to ten months, and in fillies ( females) at age 12 to 15 months. Both genders are fertile as yearlings, and this is the reason why colts and fillies are separated at weaning time on the big Thoroughbred farms in places like Kentucky and Maryland. It is to prevent indiscriminate breedings and fights. Most domestic horses are normally not bred until they are at least 3 or 4, and in the case of stallions, 6 to 8 years is the norm. This gives the animals time to become fully mature themselves before breeding. In the wild, however, it is different- a filly will remain with her natal herd ( the one she was born into) for life, and she will usually be bred for the first time at age two by the dominant stallion, who in most cases is usually also her sire. Her brothers will be attacked and driven out of the herd by their dad as soon as they are two years old- this is nature's way of preventing inbreeding and genetic defects. Most young colts will form bachelor bands for a few years until they are old enough to fight for and win a band of mares of their own. That answer your question?
