A podcast dedicated to stallion selection, management, and the business of standing a stallion at stud. Each episode profiles a different performance bloodline or breeding discipline — from NRCHA sire pedigrees to AQHA halter stallions to barrel racing sire lines built on Dash Ta Fame and Frenchmans Guy crosses. The host is a professional stallion manager who has overseen breeding programs at major facilities in Texas and New Mexico, and brings a practical lens to topics like semen collection and evaluation, marketing a first-season stallion, setting stud fees competitively, and managing the logistics of a whoa-season book when a performance stallion is still actively competing. Episodes also address the heartbreak side — grading out mares, managing breeder expectations, and what to do when a newly purchased stallion grades poorly on a breeding soundness exam. Honest, frank, and useful for anyone considering standing a horse or selecting one for their mares.
