out of the USA,perhaps...i don't know for sure.....but it is my understanding that no horse could race in the USA......his owners had sizeable insurance to protect themselves if he coudn't breed...

Wow I didn't know this. Is this a thoroughbred rule? I've actually watched the collection process, but it was a quarterhorse and I don't remember if it was racing, cutting or what but I think it was a racehorse.

lol. If you're talking about equine semen collection, then no, not on jackass. It's an interesting process and is done with many species of animals. I've actually palpated and AI'ed cattle. Result of growing up in agriculture.

So, is the breeding rule age-dictated?
