[tanderson]

Dreamscape farm is offering a reduced stud fee on their stallion Novalis by Jus de Pomme. He is $800 until the end of May.

[Daydream Believer]

You aren't specifying what kind of stallion you are looking for but my stallion is well under $900. Details on my website. He is a Colonial Spanish horse.

[Jaegermonster]

Reputed Testamony (Full TB who belongs to Denny Emerson) is $850. I have a 4 yo Rep filly out of my Buckpasser mare, you can see her in my profile pic.

[Oakstable]

You can buy breedings at reduced prices from MO who bought contracts in auctions but are unable to use them because of losing a mare, etc.

[Dressage-ryder]

No specific needs... I asked as I have been looking at some young,unproven, or rarely used stallions and noticed that the prices are all around 1200-1600. It seems that SOs would have a smaller stud fee for stallions that have not proven themselves in the breeding shed or production shed... I am sure they are out there but I can't find them.To me it seems like for your stallions first year or until he has proven himself that it would make sense to have a stud fee that would attract enough people to get some nice mares/foals.

[ShowjumpersUSA]

Depending on the mare and future plans for the foal, Campesino's stud fee has been reduced to half price for those qualified mares. That would not be under, but right at $900.

[class]

well.. obviously, feuertanzer is under $900. ;)

[twistoffate]

My guy is $600 this year since it's his first year.

[class]

from nw sporthorse breeders website:

Landsong - 2000 Oldenburg NA stallion - Regular stud fee $600

Armed Escort - Jockey Club - Regular stud fee $750

Walkabout - American Warmblood - Regular stud fee $700

of course, these don't include the booking or collection fees...

[Dressage-ryder]

Class- What would the cost be with booking and collection? Its great is some are $700 but if the booking is $300-500 and the collection $100-200.. we are now around $1100 -1400..

[class]

well, i guess you should be more specific then.. are you looking for stallions with stud fees under $900 or are you looking for stallions whose grand total including shipping, collection and booking are under $900? if you are looking for the grand total under $900, you will probably have to remove novalis, reputed testamony, and campesino from your list as well!

[CrossWinds81]

I will be offering free breedings to quality mares this year (MO's to pay actual cost of collection, shipping, minimal "booking fee" and a container deposit). It's his first year, we are a little late starting (he'll be in my barn by early June) and I want as many quality offspring on the ground next year. He has older Holsteiner "foundation" bloodlines; paternal grandsire Corporal (same grandsire as Capital I), maternal grandsire Fleming, great grand sires Farnese, Marlon, and Ladykiller. If you're interested feel free to e-mail me for more information...sunkissed81081@yahoo.com

[Marieke]

I believe young stallions should earn their mark, so I price mine, until they have proven themselves, under your limit of $900 or close to that. Plus I do offer discounts to 'special' mares (all creatures are special of course :D). As a result, my boys do get lots of traffic. I see that as future advertisement (the foals are better advertisement then anything).


Plus I generally do not ask for the stud fee until the mare is confirmed pregnant. People have advised me against that, but so far ALL mare owners have been good about that, so I'm not too concerned.

So Versace B and VanGogh B are available for your price range!

[Dressage-ryder]

Class.. agreed... I was asking if you by chance know more.. what are the booking and collection fees? The stud fee meets the $900 and that is what I am asking with this thread ... but I was also asking if you knew the other fees for those boys, sorry it came off as them not meeting the $900 fee. Do you have a website for them? I have actually dealt with a few SO that are including the first shipment, waiving booking, etc. which makes it very nice!

[class]

oh sorry, i was getting the info from here:

http://www.nwshba.com/2007_stallion_service.htm

their starting bids start out much lower than their regular stud fees, so maybe an auction would be a good way for you to go!

armed escort says $0 booking fee, landsong booking fee - $350, walkabout booking fee - $200, collection fee - $275.00

[Oakstable]

It's well into the season and SO pretty much know how many mares they are getting this year. Contact the owners of some stallions you like who may not get much traffic and see if they are willing to work with your budget.

Some will not but you won't know if you don't ask.

[Justbay1]

Edison (Escudo I -Wolkenstein II - Lauries Crusader) is standing for the first year to outside mares under $900. http://www.woodsendfarm.com/Edison.html

He is currently in Dressage training with Jim Koford and has just started competing successfully this Spring.

His first foal is due any day now.:)

[sblake]

I saw on another forum that the young stallion Acclaim has a reduced stud fee of 900.00. He's standing at Three Winds Farm.
Susan

[STF]

Our guy, who has proven preformance as well as proven offspring now is $950 this year which includes the booking fee. Its also a split fee, so 1/2 down and then the rest of it at 45 days conception.

Lovely bloodlines!!!

[Dressage-ryder]

Edison is lovely- What will he be/is he approved? I knew there were some nice ones out there for good prices, thank you guys for helping find them!!!!

[YankeeLawyer]

A number of SOs give a discount if the mare is exceptional, for example, an elite or keur mare, which might bring some of the over $1000 stallions into the under $900 category.

[Terrie]

Watch Me is standing for $850:

http://www.garrisonequine.com/

[sixpoundfarm]

Rhythm & Blues is $900, and if you can part with $50 more, you can have Coromino.

[pintopiaffe]

mine is.

15/16ths Arab, Pinto, Approved RPSI Book II, Book I pending scores; AWS etc.

[cheekyhorse]

mine is $500 as it is his first year.

[foxhavenfarm]

We have two Thoroughbred stallions (with good TB bloodlines) standing their first year to the public this year. Artrageous is $750 and Creator is $500.

[Justbay1]

Edison is lovely- What will he be/is he approved? I knew there were some nice ones out there for good prices, thank you guys for helping find them!!!!

He is definately being presented this year, but we are working out details. After he does the Raleigh CDI show, we can map out the rest of our plan for him, but it is in the works. I have a pretty good idea but would like to confirm this with his trainer before I say for sure.:)

[poneez]

Our exquisite TB hunter fellow, Flight Of A Falcon has an introductory fee of $750 as it is his first season at stud. The fee includes the first collection & booking fees, and we offer Performance, Multiple and Returning mare discounts. Pair that with the fact that it's in Canadian dollars, and it's a wonderful opportunity for those hoping to produce a fancy, quality hunter prospect.

He has terrific bloodlines for race and sport. JC/PHR/AQHA registration opportunities, and he's headed for the RPSI inspection up here in August, Canadian Trakehner in October. His collections have proven to be of excellent quality.

As both a mare and stallion owner, I really feel strongly that discounted fees can be of such benefit to both parties, particularly at the beginning of a quality stallion's career.

[Fairview Horse Center]

Nevada and Oliver's stud fee is $500. They have both been proven to sire wonderful youngsters - competitive with the top bloodlines, easy to break, nice gaits, and good jump. http://members.aol.com/fairviewhorsectr/devonresults2005.pdf
Nevada is available shipped cooled semen, or limited live cover. Ollie is live cover only at this time.

[Centerline Farm]

I was looking at the Quattro son Zeno - and they have a few others at stud for the first time this year. They are all at $800.

Try www.kvf.ca

[Hi Jump]

We stand two fully approved stallions, both produce top scoring premium foals, and both compete and are champions in mutliple disciplines. Our standard fee is broken down in installments and one can breed for as little as $1,050 , no booking fee. Collection and shipping fees are the responsibility of the mareowner. COTOPAXI is approved by the Holsteiner Verband and further in North America by ISR OLD, CWHBA, AWR and AHHA and focused on competing in the Grand Prix ring in Showjumping. RAFFAELLO is approved by the Hanoverian Verband, and further in North America by CSHA, CWHBA, AWR, ISR OLD and the AHS as well registration of foals permited by various other organizations such as GOV based on his 100 day testing and approval in Germany. Raffaello has competed successfully in jumpers and dressage but is competing in Hunter in 2007.

The value of top quality stallions available in North America has never been more feasible and the quality available now is comparable to that anywhere in the world.

[Flameborne]

Hrm... no specific needs you are looking for in particular?

Our guy is offered for part-breds at 750.00 through July. Includes booking fee but not shipping, collection, etc.

What exactly are you looking for?

[TKR]

There is a nicely bred, newly approved Holsteiner stallion named Acclaim who stands in W VA (Three Winds Farm) who is under $1000, I believe. I think she advertised him at $800, but I could be wrong.

That is good value. Their babies are nice.

[showjumpers66]

While all of our stallions stand for over $900, we offer discounts (25% Premium/Performance mare discount, 10% early bird discount, 10% multiple mare discount, and/or 10% returning mare discount) that can put our stallions all under $900.

[florida foxhunter]

Counterclaim is being offered for an introductory fee of $700. He has several test foals on the ground so far this year.....all pinto of course!! He's gotten several mares in foal this year already.....many on the first insemination.

He's a sweet boy....I'm riding him (not even as consistently as I should!) at home, and I handle his breeding as well.......

He's a black homozygous young stallion with lots of fantastic TB blood in him, besides being Claim to Fame's son!!

[Horsecrazy27]

Mine is 1027, but I give great discounts for:
FFA, Pony Clups, 4h kids, High quality producers, Repeat customers, Premium mares, and some that have multiple mares------really really really nice deserving people that need a break (I like to donate breedings too)....usually into the 727 range. :)

[spacely]

The about to be imported (next week) Rotspon son Red Wine stands for $1000. $250 booking & $750 due when the mare is 60 days in foal. That gives you some time to save a little.

http://www.grayfoxfarms.com/redwine.htm

[Remember Ferdinand]

HG Esquire

Non-purebred Arabian mares: $500.00 (with $250.00 booking fee)...plus they are paying 1/2 of the foals Sweepstakes Nomination.

This is a 2007 offer only. His fee is going up for 2008 because he is kicking butt at all his shows and on his Dressage tests.

[Hi Jump]

I will say that I was breeding 25 years ago and paying higher studfees than are being charged today, and those stallions I paid for back then were lesser stallions than some mentioned here. The Verband approved stallions, such as Showjumper66, Dreamscape Farms and ShowjumpersUSA stand are a fabulous value for the breeders money (even over $900 !). These stallions are not only comparable to the best of Europe, but are further proven with premium foals, competition careers and marketability, being promoted well here in North America. I am well versed in this end of the business and such stallions have been selected, imported, competed and managed at far greater expense than you can imagine, by discerning owners who are not only offering superb stallions, but highly professional service that is worth every penny over the lifetime of the horse you are seeking to produce.

[siegi b.]

Aren't you guys forgetting that the majority of foreign stallions can be had for less than $900.00 a breeding dose? And the only additional charge is shipping of the tank....

[cheekyhorse]

yes that is true. But foreign stallions are frozen with no LFG.

[MagicRoseFarm]

Our stallion no longer fits in the under $900 category, unless you apply for discounts. However, be sure to check costs of collections etc. In our case we split collections at actual cost , so the collection fee can be as small as $45, when split four ways which is the max we will do. Some farms charge a flat collection fee of up to $250 for each MO, even when they are splitting the semen 6 ways. This can result in less than stellar semen, and shipment of a single dose, possibly increasing your final costs immensely. Some also have very constrictive contracts, and limited LFG. Others are designed to make you a happy MO...

It is imperative to do all the homework before booking.

[Elio04]

Our stallions fee is $850, that includes the booking fee and the first collection. We are offering significant discounts to proven mares.

[upnoverfarm]

I have one stallion (TB) that is starting his breeding career this year and we are offering a special price of $250 stud fee (he has no babies on the ground as of yet) that does NOT include collection costs or mare care for live cover (only on TB mares to stay sound with Jockey Club). We have offered the first 10 mare owners this price and there are still 4 slots left so if you are interested (or anyone else for that matter) contact us at upnoversc@pbtcomm.net or go to the website www.upandoverfarm.com to see TANZER. Photos there do not do him justice but we needed to get something up when we started the site. I'll be uploading more photos of him soon. Thanks.

[Silly Mommy]

Mandate is $500 plus a $250 booking fee - first collection is included.

[Arctic Cielo]

Its my stallions (tb) first year to public so he is $600 booking fee included. Special discounts to proven mares, mulitple mares or race mares.

[juliab]

I have a very nice TB stallion and his stud fee is $600, including booking fee. He has two babies on the ground so far.

www.nonesuchsporthorses.com

[tri]

Alacazam up in West Virginia is $500. His babies are just now old enough to step into the hunter rings and are showing some very nice jump.

[Oakstable]

I think the stallion market is reflective of the housing market. When housing is going up, MO are optimistic and breeding. When the market goes south, MO get worried and cut back, or get out.

Publicly stated stallion fees remain the same, unlike most commodities.

Using "private treaty" would make sense in such a market, but some MO gasp and assume the stallion (or the sales horse) is beyond their reach.

[Breeder]

Noble Houston is $850.00 (booking included)
TB - breeding for AWR and RPSI

[SpruceLane]

Foxwind SL (Palmenwind x Fogara Jana - Adrian) is another under $900. For a fee of $850 you get your booking fee, stud fee, first collection and LFG covered. On top of that we offer discounts for exceptional mares. He is a young Trakehner just beginning to make a reputation (good or bad :winkgrin:) for himself. His first two limited foal crops show quite a bit of promise, but only time will tell for certain.

[ponygirl]

Campesino is NOT $900. His website has him listed at $1800.

[omare]

I think his owner maybe offering a late season discount (?)

[Dressage-ryder]

Ponygirl- Actually, His owner posted on page one that he was reduced to $900 for qualified mares. :)

[SCSporthorses]

Hi there,
We currently stand three stallions - Half Moon Romance (TB -approved CSH), Double Deposit (TB - AQHA approved) and Briarwyn Perri (Welsh, Section A). While Half Moon Romance is usually $1000.00 Cdn (AI or LC), for a limited time (and you can visit our website for more info if you'd like) his fee has been reduced to HALF ($500)! This applies to all mares, any breed registry - they dont have to qualify.
Double Deposit is offered by Private Treaty, and while that seems to put people off, his fee really isn't much. The only reason we advertise by Private Treaty, is his fee varies, depending on the type of mare bred (ie. TB (race mares), AQHA, grade etc), but he is actually quite low in comparison to other stallions of his caliber.
Briarwyn Perri is standing all of 2007 at a reduced fee - $300 Cdn.

[Lake Effect]

I believe Castle Cove's stud fee is 750 the last time I looked. Great bloodlines and He's proven himself as a performance horse and with his foal crops.

[spacely]

The about to be imported (next week) Rotspon son Red Wine stands for $1000. $250 booking & $750 due when the mare is 60 days in foal. That gives you some time to save a little.

http://www.grayfoxfarms.com/redwine.htm


I just have to add, I met Red Wine yesterday. Wow! What a lovely, lovely boy! He's very correct, a good mover & has a great temperament. He's a dark, blue-black with chrome that goes on forever & lots of roaning on one side of his neck (rabicano - he's also sabino). I bet his babies are going to have serious bling! I can not wait to see how he produces.

Spacely - Good mover as in hunter or as in dressage?

Spacely, I went and looked at his photo/info and he is a pretty boy! I'm not sure how he is a sabino though. I see four whites, and jagged edges, but are they high enough to be considered sabino? I see from the one angle maybe a "little" bit of a bottom white lip?

If that is a sabino then my mare must be as well?? Curiosity has gotten me here! :) My mare has three medium high whites, and almost a total white bottom lip! What determines what?

[Oakstable]

Re Redwine, he is old enough to have foal crops. Hope we see baby photos on the owner's web site soon.

Also, is he a dressage mover or hunter mover?

[maggiecat]

My approved Swedish stallion Amorex has a summer stud fee of $950, which includes first shipment out. Or another choice----$450 for first shipment out, the total balance is $1400 but not due until you have a healthy foal on the ground.
Below, a wonderful 4 year-old gelding from Amorex; Amiero, Diploma in Jumping and Dressage at his SWB inspection, and a 10 on Type from the Swedish judges.

[spacely]

I'm not sure how he is a sabino though.

He most certainly is both sabino & rabicano. His socks have jagged edges. They do not have to go over the knee & hock to be sabino. He also has lower lip white that I'm not sure you can see in the pics. He's going to be a chrome producer for sure! I can't wait to breed my Sword Dance mare to him. She's also got a ton of roaning throughout her body (she is rabicano), but no socks & just a star.

As for his movement, I was very pleased. I would like to see more before I say one way or another - we were only able to turn him loose for a second, but he is lovely.

[Black Forest]

Over here I would not even know where to start ... as the vast majority of stallions are below 900 Euro - and the concept of booking fees is unheard of.

[Oakstable]

Booking fees come from the tB industry where they needed to have a handle on how many mares the stallion would be able to live cover.

Having watched many of the stallion auctions, I think a majority of stallions should be priced under $900 if they want to compete with frozen.

There are maybe a dozen stallions who are popular enough that they will get the list price in an auction setting.

Yes, your mare is definitely a sabino...check out http://www.sabinohorseregistry.com/

[TouchstoneAcres]

My Lipizzan stallion 261 Maestoso Samira XXI is $800 for non-purebred Lipizzan mares. Collection at REACH is $105 plus actual shipping cost and Equitainer deposit - unless you opt for disposable box. Booking is included in the stud fee. Early bird discounts are available before March 31; multiple mare discounts anytime. He was approved for breeding in Slovenia.

[spacely]

I agree. I also think the majority of US stallions are over-priced for what they are, what they have produced & what their show record is. JMHO.

[Ladybug Hill]

Re Redwine, he is old enough to have foal crops. Hope we see baby photos on the owner's web site soon.


Well since he was just imported, getting pictures of his foals may be problematic. I manage Jill's website and we will certaintly get things up as they are available.

[Oakstable]

Years ago, a typical stud fee in the US was $1500, then they were heading to $1800.

But the market has changed due to frozen. The frozen doses are cheaper and the MO may just be willing to put extra money into additional vet fees and breed to a stallion who has a good competition record in Europe.

Auctions are where one can see what people are willing to pay for a specific stallion. The list prices are not in touch with the market for the majority of stallions, JMHO.

[maple_brook]

:yes: I'm trying to set up appointments to see some of his babies on my next trip over. So hopefully there will be some photos of them in the begining of August to post. I did see one on my last trip over, but that was before we were looking at Redwine, so I didn't take photos of him. duh! It was a 2 yr old colt. He was in a group of 20+ colts, but he was one of the few who really stood out. He was dark bay, 4 white socks, pretty and very correct.

To add to that, from who just ventured into frozen, the cheapest cost for a breeding I have ever had was a mare bred with frozen this year. If this mare gets in foal (and there is the rub, isn't it:winkgrin:) the vet fee was inconsequential, she was only in the clinic for a few days, and I will have a dose left over.

Given a choice, I still prefer fresh cooled with a live foal guarantee, but when frozen is half what a studfee is, and about the same as the collection/shipping charges charged which are over and above the fresh/cooled studfee, one has the give the choices some serious thought.
