Question regarding stallion penetration Equine-Reproduction.com Bulletin Board » General Stallion Questions » Question regarding stallion penetration « Previous Next » Author Message   Becky Schulz Weanling Username: Becky Post Number: 29 Registered: 06-2006 Posted on Saturday, April 03, 2010 - 07:39 pm:        Is it necessary for a stallion to penetrate through the mares cervix at breeding in order for the breeding to be successful? I'm asking because I'm breeding a small miniature stallion to a mare who is some inches taller. He's pretty much standing verticle but is completing the breeding. I've heard my vet say that the stallion needs to penetrate the mares' cervix and I'm not sure this stallion is able to do that.   Jos Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 2786 Registered: 10-1999 Posted on Saturday, April 03, 2010 - 08:43 pm:        While not absolutely essential, the pregnancy rates will be better if full cervical/uterine penetration is achieved.   Diana Gilger Senior Stallion or Mare Username: Kdgilger Post Number: 3088 Registered: 01-2008 Posted on Saturday, April 03, 2010 - 10:15 pm:        Becky, i have a hole in my barn to pull the mare into. I then back her up to the edge, and let my little guy mount. It's the only way he can reach any of them!
