Home of the original Design-A-Foal program.
In 2014 we developed a pre-breeding reservation program that we named Design-A-Foal. This program has increased in popularity every year since it's inception.
Here is how it works:
You select one of our stallions and one of our available mares. We breed the pair and you take possession of the foal at weaning. You are involved in every step of the process through e-mail, photos, text, video, social media posts. You will be informed when the mare is bred, how she progresses throughout her pregnancy, when she foals, frequent updates about your foal, and when the foal is weaned. This provides you, the foal's owner, with a breeder's experience that you may not otherwise be able to enjoy. Many of our clients have commented that their foal acquired a "fan club" with our frequent posts on social media. New friendships have even been formed between clients as a result of this program.
There is a $500 deposit required prior to breeding the stallion and mare. And then another $1500 due before or at the time you pick up your foal. We have a live foal guarantee all the way up to weaning, a guarantee you won't find elsewhere.
If interested in learning more, send us your e-mail address and we will send you a sample contract. After reviewing the contract you can call us for further questions.
Our clients have been very satisfied with our Design-A-Foal program. We are now seeing repeat customers returning for another foal.
Here is a comment from one satisfied customer:
Let me just say this entire process, working with you, has been a pleasure--start to finish. There are many experiences out there acquiring a pony, and this was one of the best--professional, cordial, and a lot of fun. Catharine Mackay-Smith Kempson
As an added feature, we can deliver your foal to you after weaning for about half the price of commercial haulers. This is for clients that reside within 500 miles of zip code 43358.
