She didnt get pregnant. So they bred her again, as far as why they chose a different stallion, I dont know.

Totally showing my naivete here, but why was this mare bred to two different stallions? Was it an accidental mating? With all the JC restrictions of no AI, etc., it completely confuses me as to how in the world they could breed a mare to two different studs. Is this common? Help!

Thanks!

Scot's reply: I don't know the specifics of this case. There are several reasons a mare might be bred to multiple stallions in a season, however. Often, if a mare doesn't "take" on the first cover, the breeder will be extra-careful to get her to the breeding shed at the *exact* right time for her second cover -- some vets gauge this down to 6-hour windows. If the original cover sire isn't available (or if a preferred stallion was previously unavailable but is now free), it opens up the opportunity to have the mare visit a second stallion. Other possibilities are changes in ownership, stipulations on the stud contract, or even catalog page changes that make another stallion look more promising.

For all the money Danny Dion's put into racehorses it's nice to see that he'll get some back. Smart move to sell her now while her sire is hot. No disrespect intended she is a heck of a racehorse.
