One of the few areas in the equine realm that I’ve not yet dabbled in is breeding. That said, I happen to reside in one of the Thoroughbred breeding meccas of the world, Lexington, Ky., and have learned quite a lot about the area stallions, mares, and offspring.

I was fortunate enough to visit several prominent Thoroughbred farms this past January during stallion open house season, and seeing some of these stunning stallions in person was incredible. But one thing I hadn’t considered prior to visiting was the wide age range that spanned the youngest and oldest horses I’d meet.
