Horse breeding techniques
In addition to natural horse breeding, where a stallion physically covers a mare to get her in foal, there are an increasing range of modern horse breeding techniques where the mare and stallion do not physically interact. These include artificial inseminations, embryo transfer, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and OVUM pick-up (OPU). Learn more about of these modern breeding options below.
