🌟 Breeding Season Starts in the Fall! 🌟

It’s that time again , November 1st marks the start of lights season for mares being bred in 2026! 💡🐴

Putting mares under lights helps stimulate their reproductive cycle earlier in the year, so they’re ready to breed when you are. The goal is to mimic those long spring days , about 16 hours of light each day to encourage mares to start cycling sooner.

A simple routine now can make a big difference later!
✅ Start lights November 1st
✅ Keep a consistent schedule — 16 hours light / 8 hours dark
✅ Use timers to make it easy and reliable

Breeding season success starts with preparation — and that starts now!

✨ Plan ahead. Light up your mares. Be ready for 2026 breeding season!

🌟DID YOU KNOW?🌟

When a foal is born, it doesn’t come out with hard hooves right away. Instead, its feet are covered in soft, rubbery layers that horse people call “fairy fingers” or “golden slippers.” These little coverings keep the mother safe while the foal is still inside her, protecting her from sharp kicks. They also help during birth, so the mare isn’t hurt when the foal makes its way into the world.

The moment the foal is born, those golden slippers start to dry out. As the foal takes its first steps, they peel away on their own, leaving behind the tough hooves it will need for life. It doesn’t hurt the foal, this is just nature’s way of making sure both mother and baby are safe, and that the foal is ready to stand and walk within hours of being born.
