Which stallion breeds which mare is random, but the division is usually about half and half, but not always exactly so. One stallion might breed 35 mares in a 60 acre pasture and the other one 25, for instance.

I do both, depending on circumstances. For instance, in HaJ1, I own two Axiom stallions. I put them in a 60 acre pasture with 60 mares. That way they both got about equal opportunity to pass on their genes.

I also, both here and in Haj1, have quite a few 10 acre pastures, each one devoted to starting and then continuing a small color line. I very seldom have 3 stallions and 100 mares in my 100 acre pastures. I have, however used them successfully to breed my exceptional cross lined horses.
