As things draw closer and closer to the breeding season we are seeing more and more stallions join us in our Stallions section so the selection is getting very large to choose from. We have everything from Clydesdales to choose from to warmblood’s to appaloosa’s to miniatures. To see our stallions section click here.

I hope everyone is surviving the muddy and cold winter we are having. It feels like it’s going on forever and its getting tiring stumbling around in the dark after work trying to feed out, check rugs, check legs etc. I am more than looking forward to the longer days with some daylight after work!

If you’re like me and thinking about possibly doing some breeding again this year you should go check out our Stallions section and have a browse. There are a lot of choices in there right now!
