How do you breed a racehorse properly? Of course, there is a lot to be done and the health of the animal must be monitored at every stage of its life. Let’s go into more detail and see what every professional breeder’s secret is.
Factors not to be underestimated
Breeding a racehorse is not easy. It is a long journey that can be full of challenges, especially for the inexperienced. The main factors to pay attention to are nutrition, health monitoring and training. From an early age, the specimen needs to be cared for, especially during weaning. The food given should be of high quality and the correct amount of nutrients should be fed to the youngster, which will increase as they grow.
From a health point of view, breeding a racehorse also means carrying out regular checks and observing the foal carefully throughout its development. Then it is necessary to think about training, which must be planned gradually and individually according to the horse’s abilities. These are the factors that should not be underestimated when it comes to breeding a racehorse, but the secret is quite different. (You can find more information on our blog and, more specifically, here: nutrition, health and training).
The secret is to get off to the best possible start
Experienced breeders know that the best way to breed a racehorse is to follow it carefully from birth. A mare’s birth can be unpredictable: it can start suddenly and even present numerous complications. It is precisely these that must be avoided or resolved immediately. Otherwise, they could also make a negative difference to the foal’s health.
For this reason, it is essential to be present at the mare’s birth and to help her so that everything goes well. This is definitely the first step if you want to breed a racehorse in the right way. Keeping an eye on the foal from birth is the ideal way to get off to a good start and breed a healthy and strong horse. Then, of course, the factors that we have seen in the previous paragraph should not be put aside.
How can breeders be present at the mare’s foaling?
If you want to breed a racehorse in the best possible way, you can rely on technology. Thanks to technology, it is possible to avoid many late nights waiting for the foaling of a horse and missing this special and important moment.
