(The term stallion for an uncastrated male horse dates from this time; stallion = stalled one.) Stallion is also used to refer to males of other equids, including zebras and donkeys.
If a 2 year old is used as a breeding stallion the number of services should not exceed two per week and only 5 to 10 mares should be bred during the breeding season. The 3 year old stallion can be used four to six times per week.The mature stallion can be bred daily but he should get one day of rest every 7 to 8 days.If necessary, mature stallions can be used twice a day for 3 to 4 days each week.arly in the breeding season it is not uncommon for a mare to be in heat for 30 to 40 days without ovulating. This is generally a normal situation you may encounter. It is also not unusual for a mare to have a gestation period longer than 360 days.
