Noble Farm Sport Ponies & Warmbloods

Indiana’s Full Service Stallion Station

Noble Farms is proud to offer our full service stallion station to outside stallions of all breeds. Our facility is setup for full board care with individual and pasture turnout for each stallion. With our  large arena with a full course of jumps we can also keep your stallion in professional training if you choose.

We offer programs for both Mare & Stallion owners

*Training of stallion to phantom mount

*Collection & preparation of chilled semen for A.I. purposes

*Mare care management for breeding  A.I. 

Phantom training consists of teaching the stallion to mount a "phantom" mare and ejaculate into an artificial vagina. The stallion is collected one time the first day, and then on two occasions, one hour apart on the next day, or day after. The first of the 2 collections is discarded, serving only as a "clean-up". The second and third collections are taken at least one hour apart, and both samples are evaluated for sperm concentration, motility and morphology.

Stallion Training Includes:

Phantom training - A $400 fee is charged to teach a stallion to collect off the phantom. This fee covers at least three successful collections, an evaluation of fresh and cooled semen,  and extender testing.

Once the stallion has been collected it is advisable to evaluate the ability of the stallion's semen . The semen is evaluated & extended using several different extenders & concentrations. Samples are then packed in a shipping container & evaluated at several different times: 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours.

*Extension evaluation includes clean out of stallion (3 jumps for experienced stallions needing beginning of the year evaluation)  $250.00

Additional Stallion services offered

*One time collection of ejaculate, extension, analysis $100.00

*Collection, extension, analysis, preparation for transport $150.00

Stallion board is $450.00/month, pro-rated for the number of days he is with us. This includes:  Twice daily feeding daily turnout . Exercise program can be arranged

Collection charges, as above, apply to semen collections carried out by our personnel.

MARE MANAGEMENT

*Artificial Insemination (per cycle) $60.00

*Mare care (box stall, private turnout)pro rated per week or $350.00 per month dry, $2.00 per day extra wet.

*Pasture ( feed and hay)  with other mares  $150.00 per month.  pro rated per week.

Arrangements for Mare care must be made before beginning of breeding season.

Some Breed Registries require a veterinarian to be present at the time of semen collection or insemination of the mare in order to allow registration of the resulting foal. The same is required of semen collected for export, which will also require certain export permits. If these are a requirement, let us know. We will arrange scheduling, and the Veterinarian's and Government fees will be charged out at cost. Please call us to discuss these special requirements further.
