If you dream in being a Thoroughbred breeder: Read and Study

I am an example of a person who wants to become a breeder of Thoroughbred horses. So, I decided to start studying about the industry so that when I have the money I am prepared to begin immediately.

I recommend you to read books. Here are some suggestions:

1) The Blood Horse Authoritative Guide to Breeding Thoroughbreds
2) Investing in Thoroughbreds
3) Conformation and Performance
4) Thoroughbred Owners Handbook

Another way of studying is by analyzing sales catalogs and searching for what mare would you or would you not buy and why. Also check results of sales to see the variety of prices and why are some mares more expensive than others.

These are just some tips to study before being a breeder. There is no bigger happiness than seeing a horse that was born in your farm win a race or achieve a high price at an auction.

Está Meio Parado...

Desde que a temporada de monta, o período em que os criadores realizam os cruzamentos dos cavalos planejados ao longo do ano, o movimento nas raças equinas diminui muito... Tanto no numero de leilões que estão sendo realizados, quase ZERO, e poucas exposições e mostras das raças estão acontecendo. A previsão para que o mundo equino exploda em 2014 até mais do que fez sucesso em 2013 é para Março/Abril, aguardem, pois eu estou!
