Breeding Fees

The 2008 stud fee to breed your mare to
*Smaragaid Cliff is $800. This includes a $200
non-refundable booking fee, live foal
guarantee and covers the cost for first
collection. All container deposits and
shipping 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
performance homes.

Breeding Season

Cliff is available to ship fresh cooled semen
from January through July on weekdays only.
At least 24 hours notice is required to
schedule a collection. There will be some
blackout dates due to his competitive
schedule. Frozen semen also is available.

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.'
