The art of breeding begins not with the stallion, but rather with the mare. Therefore, our breeding strategy starts with selecting premium mares for bloodlines, conformation, and the genetic potency of her family heritage – particularly the strength found in her tail female line. This allows us to plan, with predictive results, for the traits she will pass forward. We can then confidently match her with a stallion who will complement and enhance those genetic attributes.
Our staff spends hours analyzing and reviewing the phenotypes and genotypes of every mare, stallion and foal at Orrion Farm. Frozen semen allows the most prominent breeding stallions to be at our fingertips regardless of the continent they call home.
The work is intensive, but well worth it. The knowledge attained with every foaling season increases quality in each new generation.
