When to start training him on the phantom. Our breeding year starts at may 1. He will be 3 (well almost 3 just a few days shy). We are lucky enough to have a fabulous vet college here where he will be trained and collected. However at what point (april, march etc) should i take him to be trained on the phantom??

Also for a stallion who will only be breeding 3-4 mares this year will one equitainer be sufficient??

THanks!

at what age can you start using a stallion for breeding ? we have a coming two year old morgan that we're still training, and the owner of his sire said not to use him at stud until he's completely trained. i've heard this from several others since then, and then run into stallions standing at two or three. any experience in training your stallion after he's been used for breeding ?
thanks, cindy in ohio

my co owner has stud many stallions (but never AI). OUr stallion is never going to do live cover- ever (well if i can help it- accidents could happen of course). This his attitude change wil not be as great as one who covers live cover occasionally- or all thetime. Everyone i have talked to advises to have the stallion at least going under saddle Or working. (ie ground driving etc) so that the first job is working with their trainer- second job is breeding. I agree with this. So when they stand also depends a bit on when they start training. We considered covering a few mares this summer with him but our boy just wasn't mature enough yet to begin any work (Ground driving) let alone mounting up!
