This was a wonderful read. I purchased my first yearling last year after developing a friendship with his breeder. Finding breeding professionals who are intentional in the ways you describe is so important, for the customer and for the horses alike. I thank you for your insights!
It is so comforting to know that horse breeders are taking so many important facts into account. Thank you for what you share in your Substack Jeanette. I know you might not have a major following yet, but keep pecking away! I am sure more horse lovers will find you!
I like how you mentioned the importance of social interaction. This is especially important for the stallion. I’ve seen some very stressed isolated stallions pacing fences which I don’t like.

Thank you Deborah - All our horses are out in paddocks in groups of like horses where that is possible. This is essential for their social well-being.
Plus, there are about 100 additional amendments to each one of your 7 points, but these are certainly good starting points.
Ahah! perhaps a mini-course is coming.
