:Thanks Cody and Dr. T. for the information. I am relieved to think I shouldn't expect any problems beyond the normal concerns with a mare foaling. One more question tho. The babies would be applicable for APHA registration. Will this be a problem given their breeding history? Thanks again.
You'd be surprised how much inbreeding and linebreeding are done in the breeding world! Best of luck with you babies :) Do you know when the mares are due yet?
As far as the sire being a close relative, that won't even be blinked at by the registry. But, you will need to contact them and probably fill out a breeding report so the foals will be eligible. I'm not as familiar with the APHA, but most registries do require this step. They'll then send you the "breeder's certificates" for each potential foal, and you then fill that out where they are born and send it in for registration papers.
