The '''space and freedom of interaction between the jack and the jenny''' seems to be a key factor in sexual stimulation. The time to first mount increases if the jenny is restrained (Henry ''et al'', 1991; Gastal ''et al'' ,1996). It is recommended that enough space be provided during in-hand mating of a jenny for the retreating behaviour to take place.

In a stud farm situation, we have observed latency to erection and ejaculation of up to 120 minutes when breeding hobbled oestrous mares (Tibary et al, 2005). In addition to behavioural differences that may affect fertility results, size discrepancy may be another constraint in stallion/ mare breeding.
