Breeding Information *Smaragaid Cliff Connemara Stallion Kingswell Connemara Ponies

Breeding Fees

The total fee to breed your mare to
*Smaragaid Cliff in 2010, via AI, is $950.00

This fee includes the stud fee, non-refundable
booking fee, the cost for first collection and
comes with a live foal guarantee.

All container deposits, shipping fees and any
additional collection fees are the
responsibility of the mare owner.

A signed contract, along with the booking
fee, must be returned to the stallion owner to
initiate a breeding agreement. The balance
of the stud fee and container deposit are due
before collection.

Ask about discounts for multiple mares and
USEF-member performance homes.

Frozen semen also is available and comes
with a live foal guarantee. Because of the
additional monitoring of the mare that
breeding with frozen requires, Cliff's fees are
discounted and his stud fee is not required
until the foal is born. Read more here.

Breeding Season

Cliff is available to ship fresh cooled semen
between April and July on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays only. At least 48
hours notice is required to schedule a
collection. There will be some blackout dates
due to his competitive schedule. Frozen
semen is always available.

No collections will be scheduled May 24
through June 4.

Plan Ahead

Mares that have not produced a live foal in the past
two years and mares that have failed to conceive in
a full breeding season must have an endometrial
culture, a cytology smear and a biopsy. The written
results from these tests must be provided prior to the
mare owner ordering semen.

USEF Lifetime Recording

Do yourself and your foals' future owners a favor.
Purchase a USEF lifetime recording number, which
every pony must have to earn year-end national
awards in most sports. We will reimburse the cost of
recording Cliff's foals, if the lifetime number is
purchased BEFORE December 31 of the year of the
foal's birth. Just send us the receipt for immediate
reimbursement. To find the form, visit www.usef.org
and look under 'Forms and Publications' then 'Horse
Services.'
