Horse owner who plan to breed one or more mares should have a working knowledge of heredity

and know how to care for breeding animals and foals. The number of mares bred that actually

conceive varies from about 40 to 85 percent, with the average running less than 50 percent. Some

mares that do conceive fail to produce living foals. This means that, on average, two mares are kept

a whole year to produce one foal, and even then, some foals are disappointments from the

standpoint of quality.

By careful selection, breeders throughout history have developed various kinds of horses with a

wide variety of characteristics to suit many different needs. The Great Horse of the Middle Ages,

for example was bred for size and strength to carry a heavily armored knight. The massive horses of

such breeds are often called cold blooded. The Arabs bred lithe dessert horses that were small and

swift. These animal are often referred to as hot blooded. Cross-breeding of hot blooded and cold-

blooded horses for certain characteristics produced breeds ranging from riding horses to draft

horses.

The Thoroughbred is considered by many to be high point of elegance and fine selective breeding. Many

people mistakenly apply the name Thoroughbred to any purebred horse. But a Thoroughbred is a distinct

breed of running horses that traces its ancestry through the male line directly back to three Eastern stallions:

the Byerly Turk, the Darley Arabian, and the Godolphin Barb. For convenience the breeds of horses are often

divided into three major groups: (1) ponies, (2) heavy, or draft horses, and (3) light horses.
