On October 18, 2007, The Jockey Club re- leased Report of Mares Bred (RMB) statistics for 2007 that show both an increase in Thoroughbred breeding activity in Kentucky and a second con- secutive decline in the number of North American stallions covering at least 100 mares.
the record 128 stallions to do so in 2005. Of those 125 stallions, 102 stood in Kentucky, which in 2006 was home to 94 stallions that covered at least 100 mares. Other states and provinces in which stallions covered 100 or more mares were Florida (12 stallions), California (3), Maryland (3), New York (2), Arkansas (1), Louisiana (1) and Ontario (1).
Based on RMBs received through Oct. 11, 2007, The Jockey Club reports that 2,808 stallions covered 56,796 mares in North America during 2 007.
Stormy Atlantic led all stallions in 2007 with 199 mares bred, four more than Johannesburg (195). Rounding out the top five were Wildcat Heir (177), With Distinction (177) and Giant’s Causeway (176).

Did You Know....
That in many parts of the country, the long, dry summer resulted in poor pastures by mid summer and the feeding of hay starting in early August. Pastures have “greened-up” over the past few weeks. However don’t expect that there will be sufficient forage to meet the needs of horses this late in the season. Monitor the body condition score of all horses but especially those of mares that raised a foal this summer, older horses with teeth and chewing issues and young horses (weaned foals, yearlings and 2 year olds).
Most pastures, this past summer/fall, probably did not meet their nutrtional needs. For more information on Body Condition Scoring of Horses refer to www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/horses/facts/98-101.htm
