The Key Ingredients          Beyond the Basics          Putting It All Together
 

The decision to breed a mare to any given stallion must be based upon sound reasoning.   An incompatible mating does no justice to the sire or to the dam.  

Key Ranch is home to a group of stallions who provide a good measure of predictability in breeding.  When recommendations are sought for any particular mare, the stallion choice is relatively simple to discern, based upon a large amount of reference material gathered through intense research, and knowing what to expect physically from our stallions. 

But how does a mare owner filter through the vast list of available stallions to determine which one is best for his or her mare?

The following outlined material is presented in the hope that the reader will discover some useful information.  If you have any questions, or would care to discuss any aspect of breeding, please feel free to phone or visit.  The door is always open at Key Ranch.
