I have a KWPN-NA 3 year old (coming 4) mare arriving soon. She was First Premium at her foal inspection, and will need to be presented for the studbook soon. At what age do you think is the best to present a mare? Or is it best based upon maturity, size, etc.? (having never gone through an approval before, I have no idea, as you can tell!) |

Honestly, if she is looking good, I would do it sooner rather than later. I had my mare approved with one registry and was hoping to have her approved with another the following year (for financial reasons). I wish I would have scrapped together all my pennies and finished the job in one year. She has since suffered ligament damage. Moral of the story, horses get hurt and develop blemishes, don't wait if you don't have to. |

Yes, Helen, she is all mine!
I will probably be putting her on the market this spring. I had tossed around the idea of keeping her, but I do not have enough hours in the day to get her started and my riding skills/confidence are more geared toward the old, tired and lazy variety of horses.
Her dam has a crazy fixation on rolling & tromping through snow and this year she got in "over her head" quite literally and damaged some ligaments. Although she has never looked lame, I am crosses my fingers she will recover 100% for her warmblood inspection this year. |
