What is mares aei?

Question

bout breeding, i spose

Answer 1

This is a numerical system developed by the late Joseph Estes.

The figure 1000 is given to the breed for a certain year and you measure other horses against it.

For example: If the AVERAGE earnings for any  5 year old mare relative to her  peers in a given year is say £10,000 and your 5 year old mare has earned £15,000 that year, then her A.E.I would be 1.5 from which you might deduce that she is half as good again as the average.

Hope that answers it for you !!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Average Earning Index

Answer 3

Evaluating Soundness in a Sire's Progeny:

Use of the AEI/SI Comparison

Few issues wreak more havoc on an owner’s bottom line than the soundness of his horses.  The slightest of injuries can add thousands of lay-up dollars to an owners bill, and more serious injuries that end a horse’s career can be catastrophic to an entire program.  And yet, soundness in breeding stock is one of the least scrutinized topics by mare owners as they make their breeding plans each year.   Traditional methods for evaluating soundness in a sire’s progeny have included percentage of starters from foals and number of starts per foal, though there hasn’t been a push to develop more advanced measures.

Answer 4

AEI (Average Earnings Index)

Developed by Joseph Estes

Where 1.00 represents the average, the AEI gives the earnings for any horse relative to his peers, during the same year.
