I recently posted a message in the 'breeding' forum asking whether or not it would be wise to breed my 13 yr old mare. I had many helpful replies and so now I just wait to see what the vet check results are as to whether I go ahead with the covering.

My mare is a pretty, 15hh, arabian derivative and I want the sire of the foal to be an Arabian or Arabian Derivative/Arabian cross.

I haven't started to seriously search for a stallion, so I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a well-bred/highly-accomplished boy that suits my loose criteria?

If it helps, my covering method will most likely be A.I. so I would require chilled or frozen semen. Also, I am based in Australia so that may greatly limit my choices!

Thank you for any suggestions

do you have photos of your mare and any lineage ? You should see what is available to you in Australia then post ( if the stallion owners allow it) a photo of the stallion showing his entire body and a photo of your mare with the lineages.
People may give an opinion then.

Sorry, I can't seem to get pictures to work.... :-( Any tips?

Have you looked at Bremervale Arabian Stud in Queensland? They have some really nice horses.

If you want the foal to be registered then you need to breed the mare to a purebred arabian stallion. Unless the mare is registered as a National Show horse or Anglo Arab.
I suggest that you find a purebred stallion that suits your needs and crosses well with your mare.
Good luck. Shalom

Check out Mulawa Stud, they have some amazing accomplished horses.

Noran Arabians also have some beautiful horses. I personally can't go past Hawley Arabians though, they would have to be my faves.
