offering pairings versus offering studs/broods

#50528 Posted on 2016-07-01 18:38:56

I have a dozen store Arabians that I am considering offering for 1 public foal each.

However, I've seen a few classified ads for pairings of horses (as in - you pick a pair of my horses to breed and I sell you the foal). Which do you all think would be more popular? allowing people to breed their horses to mine or having them pick a pair?

if it matters, the horses will be having no more than 4 foals total (I'm breeding for conformation so I'd like at least 3 times to be sure I get the best numbers).

I think offering both would be the most profitable for you. Some established breeders may be looking for a single stud or mare match for an existing horse, others may bite for completely new blood. You could keep the same limits, but just set or pricing for whichever option they prefer to use.

Good luck!

I would give both options as well, so you'll hit all possible Arabian markets. :)

thank you both!
I'm still figuring out pricing, but I'll put some more thought into offering both options :)
