#2025breedingseasonBroodmare AFTERTHOUGHT? Why We’re Losing Good Mares Before They Even Get a Chance
🐴Introduction: • We talk a lot about the value of good mares—but are we actually setting them up to be part of North America’s breeding future? • The truth? Too many mares are shown first and only considered for breeding after they’re injured or done with sport.
🧐The Problem: • Many North American mares go through their competitive careers without ever being inspected or approved for breeding. • When they’re injured or retired, they’re marketed as “broodmare prospects”—but it’s often too late to gain full approval. • Older mares may receive lower inspection scores due to reduced movement or conformation changes. • Some are ineligible for approval due to incomplete or unapproved bloodlines. • This delays or blocks access to breeding for mares that could have contributed meaningfully.
🌍How It’s Different in Europe: • European breeders commonly inspect and approve young mares early, before risk or wear from sport. • Approval is a FOUNDATION, not an afterthought. Even mares with modest performance records are valued if they have strong, proven lines.
🤷🏼♀️Why This Matters: • Injuries shouldn’t be the deciding factor for when a mare enters the breeding shed. • Without proactive approval and tracking, we lose access to genetic value we already have—simply because we didn’t plan ahead.
👍 What We CAN do: • APPROVE MARES EARLY, ideally before their sport career starts. • Host and attend local mare inspections to create more access. • Track and promote pedigrees and approvals from the start—not just when mares are done showing. • Encourage trainers and riders to work with breeders to preserve options for mares with potential.
📣Call to Action: • Broodmare approval isn’t a backup plan—it’s a foundation. • A great mare deserves a place in our future before her show career ends. • “Let’s stop making breeding an afterthought for great mares.”
