Ever wonder why some breeding combinations produce show stoppers and others produce backyard pets? There's nothing wrong with a backyard pet, but if you want to breed the best, you need to know what the best is. You'll need to research bloodlines, select specific sires and dams based on the goals of your breeding program, implement the breeding process and market the horse.

Do you have the time and expertise to do that? Do you know some, but not enough? Do you understand that every physical trait, from ear shape to hoof color, is governed by the horse's genes? Do you know how to mix and match bloodlines to better produce champions?

Whether you are a first time breeder or an experienced one, Lee Dougherty, a proven Arabian bloodstock consultant, is here to help.
