ASKHQ: PROGENY

Q: What does the word progeny mean?

A: Collectively, all of a stallion’s or sire’s offspring are called his progeny. The plural of progeny is progenies. If you are referring to a single offspring, the word ‘get’ may be used. ‘Get’, however, may also be used to refer to the sire’s offspring collectively, too.

The quality of a stallion’s progeny or ‘get’ is the ultimate proof of his worth as a breeding stallion.
