So...to answer the question two ways.
A stallion can breed mares (live cover) 3 or more times a day if they are adequately fertile during a breeding season. Carefully managed stallions that breed each mare once at the optimum time in her cycle will statistically produce
more foals per year than an stallion that covers each mare 2 times.
Breeding season for Thoroughbreds is Feb 8th (for those trying to produce foals as close to January 1st as possible) and most breeding sheds close in early July.
These stallions have approximately 7 months between breeding seasons.

How often can You stud a stallion?
Stud is the term for the breeding farm where stallions are kept and not the term for the stallion or breeding itself. Many factors go into how often a stallion can be bred, the quality of the semen, the method used for breeding, and the how reproductively fit the mares you are breeding are. If the stallion is of good quality semen wise you can breed him multiple times daily during live cover (with a real mare.) Or collect several samples for artificial breeding.
What is the differerence between a stallion horse and a clydesdale?
well, first of all a stallion is not a breed of horse. A stallion is a male horse that has not yet been gelded, or can still reproduce. You must be 18 to handle a stallion. A Clydesdale is a breed and my be a mare, gelding, stallion, fillly ect.
How many months between calving?
For one cow, it's usually 11 to 12 months in between each calving. For a cow-calf operation with defined breeding and calving seasons, it's always 12 months in between the start of one season to the start of the next.
What vitamin should be given to a breeding stallion?
This would depend on several factors. His work load, breeding load, present diet and even his breed. There are many good suppliments for breeding stallions that you can get from your feed story or horse supply catalogs. But check with your vet before starting any new feeding program.
How do you breed your mare with out paying?
Some stallion owners will breed a mare for free under certain circumstances. For instance, a mare with certain breeding or performance qualities that are deemed a good genetic match for a stallion may be offered a free or reduced cost breeding. A stallion owner may breed a mare in exchange for work or services. Some states/ countries have improvement programs that offer stallion services at a reduced cost. (There may be the possibility of a free breeding associated with this type of program even though I have no personal knowledge of one.) A stallion owner may be interested in a foal sharing agreement where the stud fee is waived and there is an agreement on ownership of the resulting foal(s) over 2 or more breeding seasons. A mare owner may also find a backyard breeder who has kept an intact colt and just believes he's worthy of reproducing. There are many sites on the internet and a mare owner may just "luck out" that the "free" breeding is near by. Individuals who are looking for a free breeding because they cannot otherwise breed their mare need to be cautioned that the stud fee is just the beginning of their expenses and that, while relatively rare, there can be substantial risk to the mare or the foal produced which may be quite costly. Further, the use of a stallion strictly based on a no cost breeding is very unlikely to produce a foal with superior breeding or conformation and may result in an animal with questionable temperament.
What is a stallion size?
A stallion typically grows to be between 14.3 and 17 hands (59 to 68 inches) at the withers, which is the point on their back where the neck meets the body. However, there can be variations in height depending on the breed and individual genetics.
What does the word stud mean in horse terms?
A stud in horse terms means that there is a set price for the stallion to mate with a mare. He is usually not for sale. Answer2: Many people wrongly assume the term stud refers to a stallion, but really it refers to the breeding farm itself. That's why you'll see the term 'Stallion at stud' listed in horse magazines and on websites. However nowadays the term is used interchangeably for the farm and the stallion itself, although the correct term for the stallion would be 'stud stallion'.
Why must selective breeding be used in horses?
Selective breeding is very popular among people who have horse breeding farms. Selective breeding is used to get certain traits for the future foal. For example, if somebody had a stallion (male horse) that has won many races, a person with a mare (female horse) would want to breed to that stallion in hopes of producing a foal that would be good at running races. In the wild, horses are not domesticated, therefore breed with any horse they please from age 1 and up. Wild horses are smart, though, and know what horses are related to them so they will not inbreed.
