Here we go again. Good luck to you. Check their references!
The trainers I was referring to have a long list of accomplishments in the show ring (way beyond the 4-H level). They also have plenty of references.

I am certain you truly need a trainer though...
:But you are talking about a stud colt being out with a mare (doesnt matter if the mare is his momma) if she goes into heat, do you really think his brain is going to say "Oh Wait. Thats my Mom. That would be incest!" I dont think so. His brain will no longer be in is head, it will be down south. "
Once animals reach "puberty" they no longer recognize the family relationship.
Boy I could just go way off topic with that statement

Ya think?
My colt is only 8 months old ... and I feel horrible he isn't cut yet. I absolutely must cut him in the next 30 days ... it is rare, but Dr Stott has confirmed that Yearlings colts and fillies (although rare) are capable of breeding. To each their own, but IMO, people must be realistic in their ideas of what an un-cut colt can or can't do. Not meant negative, again JMO.

My 4 month old has been mounting ANYTHING... I walk threw his field
A - DONT WALK THROUGH THE FIELD!!! IT ISN'T SAFE!!!
B - Keep him away from the Pig!
C - Check the Llama's ... If they are smokin cigarettes ... You have a major problem!
My own mental note: Don't go into Pasos' pasture, she has a super-freak in there!
I weaned him at 12 weeks...yeah I know he is not "weaned" yet it has only been a month..I put his momma back in with him this am to keep her near the stud as I want to get her bred and him gelded...He will go into a stall at night and the mare out with the stud (He is in during the day..he shares a field with Roger..anywho when I put his momma back in with him you should have seen him..NO interest in "the bag" only her tail area

It happened to my mare at a boarding facility.. Romeo.. a long yearling at the time... got out one night... (Dr Stott said it must've been a sexy moonlit night..) And in a field of 3 open mares.. My 18 yo. maiden who was bred in the past but never took, took. No one was else got knocked up but my mare and you know what? No one knew it til the day before. 
And Romeo had been gelded probably right after he got her...
