Horse Breeding has been going on for centuries.  It is the technique of finding the right bloodlines  and qualities of each horse so that the resulting offspring is an improvement of each parent.  This is true for any breed or type of horse or pony.  Horse Breeding has even been learned and handed down through families. The Thoroughbred  of the United States is the most recorded breed so far in the States, and it is a huge business .  With the importing of European Sport Horses, the show jumping horse in the United States is becoming a more researched  breed, and  it is improving the quality of the horses.
      Horse Breeding has become a fun and interesting hobby for some people, and a very good business for the professional Horse trainer.  Young Horse training starts at day one and goes on from there.  Imprinting foals has become a very useful tool in the long term training of young horses. When the foal arrives, certain things are done to it so it is accepting of all of the things a person wants to do to the horse or pony.  Whether it will become a show jumping horse or a pleasure horse this technique is a useful tool in horse breeding. The more accepting the foal is the easier it is to handle, and the safer it is to be around.
