How any men will I need to run my small horse farm

Community Answer

it can vary with the number of horses you have on the farm. and how difficult they are to handle. For example, a good groom should be able to handle doing a yard of nine horses. if not then several grooms are advised.

Question

Should I mainly show my most-used sire so that my foals have good pedigrees and lineage, or should I try and show all my horses equally?

Community Answer

I would show all, but mostly the most-used sire. This is to inform people about the horses you use, but they get to see the best sire.

Horse breeders may pursue bachelor's degrees in animal science, with a concentration on horses that includes such courses as foaling, animal selection, and breeding management. Animal science courses like breeding, genetics, and reproductive science may also be part of other bachelor's degree programs.
