Oldest Mare to Live?
OK all, who is your oldest mare to survive breeding? I nabbed a 25 year old War Daddy x California daughter from the JS dispersal because I love OLD school pedigrees, especially War Daddy. I liked Blue Bayou for both her and a 19 year old Amidah daughter that I got from the same sale. Sent them both for "one last filly". They BOTH lived.
Granted, the 25 year old has only had two previous foals. But STILL. Mind. Blown.

I had a 27 year old Battlenote mare be barren this year. She’s a grand daughter of Loki Dynasty. 100% breeding her next year! https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=280504 look at that pedigree

That thing has been sitting in your barn for 16 seasons since you bred her last foal. Why breed her now?Nena Olson wrote: ↑3 years ago I had a 27 year old Battlenote mare be barren this year.

For fun Battlenote was my first superstar! It makes me warm and fuzzy knowing I can have a granddaughter of him to racePete Vella wrote: ↑3 years agoThat thing has been sitting in your barn for 16 seasons since you bred her last foal.

Re: Oldest Mare to Live?
I did the same with a Take Me Black x Silent Journey foal from the same auction. Hoping for some echo-genes from Kismet as she's the Jean Claude Van Dam in Dam and Sire.

Re: Oldest Mare to Live?
OK, I stalked you, you have 1208 mares that aren't pensioned so I guess you get a pass You need fewer mares and then you won't lose them!

Re: Oldest Mare to Live?
I just bred a 29 year old mare...and she lived. : )
The Very
This is her 2nd foal...her first was was born 26 years ago She is a 'potential' type mare and has a good number of B+ hypos, but she kind of got lost in the herd over the years.
I did some inbreeding with my Storm The Blockade line. He, and his son, Fortification were SC winners...but at this point, I only have a 'useful' stallion left from that line...Boomshakalaka. His foals earn money for me, not a lot, but enough that I still send a few mares to him every year and hope I'll get a good slide with one of the colts and keep the line going for another generation, just for sentimental reasons.
If this old mare lives to be 30 and can be breed one last time, I splurge and send her to a nicer stallion. : )

Re: Oldest Mare to Live?
I had another 29 year old mare survive foaling. She's a potential type broodmare.
Go Get Your Reward
She 'pulled' my foundation mare Foremost from the far back part of the pedigree where she has been with the more current generations, to a point where she has some influence in the make up of the filly. Foremost is the dam Foreward, one of the more rare males of that line who did quite well on the track, and Foreward is Go Get Your Reward's sire.
The resulting foal, un-named filly
I managed to do some inbreeding but avoided any black type highlighting for shared ancestry. The filly, in her pedigree, has Mal and Foreward, two sires from my Foremost line, along with Foremost and some of her generations of broodmares in the line.
