Breeding ages for studs and fillys

Author	Topic: Breeding ages for studs and fillys
Diane unregistered	posted 08-19-2002 04:11 PM I just recently bought 2 stud ponies Both about 15 months old and 1 filly about 1 1/2 years old, They were all running together, since birth, The guy I bought them from said she would not even come into season until at least next year, Is that true?? Can a stud colt breed at this age? Is it possible she could be pregnant already? I have had her 2 1/2 weeks and as of yet she shows no signs of going into heat... Will she be o.k. foaling at this age ??? Or do I need to be extremely worried? IP: Logged
