Increasing In Hand Breeding Success
-
I've gotten in the habit of mostly using pasture breeding, for both cost and quality reasons. But I've started using some straws.
While I know the chances of an intact foal are naturally lower, but are there ways to maximize success? I know matching breeding quality helps, so it's best to breed C/Yellow, B/Red, etc. Given there's a range within each level, is there anyway to gauge whether the two horses are close within the ranges? Especially for lined horses/non PF?
I know PT doesn't impact a horse's breeding ability but does matching showing quality increase the chances of an intact foal? If the stallion has a PT of, say, 10.4 and the mare 9.9, will that decrease the chances of an intact foal or does SBA just gauge breeding ability and ignore PT completely? -
What you're looking for is AFPT and not PT. A horse's PT score isn't related to its breeding ability and breeding horses with matching PTs won't increase your chances of an intact foal, but the average PT score of a horse's foals is important if you want more intact foals, because a higher breeding quality horse will give you foals with a higher average PT. Breeding 2 horses that have similar AFPTs will help increase your chances of an intact foal, because this means that the parents are close in breeding quality and one is not drastically better than the other one. This is only helpful if the mare and stallion have both produced at least a couple foals though.

Which means, with maiden mares, it's pretty much a shot in the dark? At least beyond the paper level?

This is very true! That would have made it trickier!
Now to decide whether to be patient and wait for a few breeding seasons or to take a chance! -
I think I would take a chance... But that's just me. No risk without reward. And that doesn't mean you can't keep using the pasture.Breeder of any and all crazy colored drafts and RH horses.

It is a long time to wait! I might end up caving, anyway!
