~Equine Reproduction~
Here at Rancho Del Zorro our utmost pleasure is in our breeding program. Breeding quality Paso Fino's and Andalusians is a labor of love . We strive to have a breeding program that has a strong genetic foundation as well as a successful birth rate. We breed live cover as well as A I and have round the clock supervision for our mares in foal, about to foal, and our babies after birth. We believe strongly in being present for every foaling. We have an 8400 sq ft. foaling barn completely outfitted for that purpose. Surveillance camera's have been installed to watch our mares and babies to insure their safety and we have a full breeding lab on premises for all of our testing,
A. I, and breeding needs.

Rancho Del Zorro has two breeding stallions, "El Mito De La Luisa" renowned imported Columbian Fino stallion as well as T.B. Wolf -P.R.E. -Andalusian Stallion. These studs are bred to our broodmares as well as booked to outside mares during breeding season.
Rancho Del Zorro assists others with breeding as well. We have visiting stallions during breeding season who come to visit "Maggie Mount" our most well behaved mare! She never kicks or bites and always stands peacefully!
