ROA President Rachel Hood used the association’s annual general meeting in London last month,to outline the need to continue to work to raise prize-money levels, with £120m the target for next year 2014.An increase in prize-money in 2013 to an expected amount of at least £110 million raised the return to owners by just three per cent to 24%.
So the owners are - 76% on their investment ,hows everyone on here doing ????
Any ideas/discussion on the % breeders return ???

Hard to answer unless you specify the question. Return on what?
Ok I guess I am looking at breeding... costs v return or in other words return on investment...some to start off...
1.Older Mares are More Likely to be Barren Mares
It is important, at the outset, to realise that age has an important effect on fertility in the horse.
The live foal rate of 4 year old mares is approximately 75%, whereas that of 20 year-old mares is approximately 50%.
These differences arise for a number of reasons, including the repeated cycles of trauma and infection that the older mare may be subjected to during her breeding career. It is important as a manager that you be aware of the very likely decline in the fertility of your mares with advancing age and take every possible step, in conjunction with your veterinarian to maintain the reproductive life of your mares.
