As a former Breeder of Arabian horses, I must say that artificial is used by almost all the top breeders. It protects those high dollar horses from injury and is far less stressful. I had a good friend that shipped his $100,000 16yr old mare to a breeder in VA that decided to use natural methods. The mare had never been bred Natural and the trauma caused her to colic. I also believe that a Mare should be allowed to settle into a new place before being bred whether Natural or Artificial.

I did use natural breeding with my Stallion but only with Mares that I owned.
