Once you've determined what you want, team up with a breeder. Search Internet for breeders or browse breeder advertisements in horse magazines. There are many stallions available commercially so it is best to locate one of these. Owners of boarding facilities can often point you in right direction. If they don't have any studs in their facility, they'll surely know of a breeder who does. Horse trainers or even your local vet are people you should talk to. Horse shows are also excellent places to find breeds of your choice and to learn more about horses and your options. If you are after a specific breed, be it Quarter horse, Arabian or Thoroughbred, a specific web search could well bring up results you need. Many websites have directories and classifieds. When you find a potential stud talk to people who've bred their mares to stud, before you go ahead. Ask about foals. Also, make sure you discuss what fee will be if your mare does not conceive or if foal is aborted during pregnancy.

Read up on horse breeding season and pregnancy. Breeding season is between March and October. Know that pregnancy lasts 11 months and that best time for a foal to be born is between May and July. Mares can breed until late in life, but should not generally begin breeding until at least four years old. Regular exercise is imperative for your mare's good health during this crucial time.
