: At what age will my stud colt have to be before he able to breed? Also have a young filly. What is the appropiate age to breed her?

Your stud colt can breed as young as 8-10 months, depending on his development (mentally and physically) - This is not to say that he definitely will breed at that age, but he could.
Personally, I don't like to see fillies bred before they are four years old - they need to have their baby-hood before they are forced into motherhood.
