Broodmares

Broodmares are female horses used primarily for breeding purposes. They are selected for their desirable traits, such as good health, strong genetics, and conformational soundness, to produce healthy foals. These mares are typically kept in managed environments where they are bred with a stallion, either naturally or through artificial insemination, to pass on preferred characteristics. After foaling, they often continue to be bred or may be used for other roles like training or riding. Broodmares play a vital role in maintaining and improving horse bloodlines across various breeds and disciplines.
