The most important thing of all is to take plenty of time to choose the stallion carefully and for the right reasons
. Bringing another horse into the world is a huge responsibility. It is up to the owner to produce a foal that will find a good home should it ever need to be sold. Its future will be infinitely more secure if it is the product of a quality mare and stallion as it will be more likely to have solid conformation, a trainable temperament and be physically capable of doing whatever is asked of it.
