Question
Can you breed a two year old stud?  At that age is there more possibilty for the mare not to stick?

Answer
Hi Hayley

You want to make sure that a 2-year-old colt is both physically and mentally ready for breeding.

As long as both testicles are completely descended, a 2-year-old colt should have no problem settling a mare as long as he doesn't have any underlying problems.
