How expensive is breeding?
Are there any significant costs involved in breeding horses? Let's say that two neighbours want to let their horses mate, is it just a simple matter of putting them together and let them do their thing? Or will it entail the services of a specialist to boost the chances of a successful effort?

It could depend. The TB stud I used to work for had a great stallion who couldn't find the hole if you painted it red. So he required someone putting on medical gloves and sticking it in for him while he did his thing.
Some horses can manage on their own (although there can be damage to either horse unsupervised) and some don't get it. I don't advise letting the two get just turned out together to hope they breed as either horse can get injured from the other one not being interested. Your best bet is a controlled breeding with someone holding the mare and stallion, taping her tail and covering her mane (stallions do bite) and putting bell boots on his front hooves to prevent scratching. |

Oh good. Actually I was worried that it would be more involved and worse yet, more expensive. Can't cost too much to have somehow align a stallion's instrument with the mare's target.
