to collect (semen )from a colt/stallion have it frozen and stored have said colt/stallion then castrated and still register stock as pure bred ?????
I ask as I have a lovely (in my biased opinion  )rising 2yr old colt (95% crabbet) that I will be having the op on shortly,as I have no wish to keep a stallion as lovely as he is and with the current market don't wish to breed but as he is high % crabbet would like to freeze his goods for the future.
Look forward to your input |

Tessa Clarke and the team at West Kington Stud are superb. |

Doesn't there have to be a bit of paperwork involved? Ask at Hobgoblin Stud - Maddie's fab! |

I think you will find the collection and storage fees will be costly, my bill was £3,000 while my stallion was away being collected and the storage is several hundred pounds a year which can add up to quiet a bit, just so you have something to think about before you go ahead  |

I think it has been done. What I don't know is whether the colt would have to be licensed first.

Yes it is perfectly feasible. Check with the AHS on the details, I think you will have to get him licensed etc, but they will know what paperwork has to have its t' crossed and i's dotted. |
