#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I take it from your story that your Arab stallion is not licensed? Is he going for artificial insemination or the natural way?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Hi Adell. Do you have a link to the classified of your stallion? I searched for him but i am not sure which one he was. Is he homozygous? I have a mare i want to breed one day (one FAR day away) to a black arab and i always enjoy looking at them.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thanks#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I am not sure what you mean by "not licensed". #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#With the way that things are going AI is alomost becoming the "natural way" but yes I am hoping to do both AI and live cover. Right now I have not done AI, but I am not going to let that stop me. #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/classic.gif"#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Here is the link to the ad #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#A href="http://equimarket.equestrianconnection.com/showads.asp?adnumber=43132"#ed_cl#http://equimarket.equestrianconnection.com/showads.asp?adnumber=43132#ed_op#/A#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You should take your stallion for training to collect AI. There are a few different methods, ie the phantom or ground collection. There may be more but I don't own a stallion and don't know a whole lot about the subject, I'm just passing on the little I do know. You'll also have to have the semen quality checked, not all stallions are suitable for shipped semen.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Do you board him at Shabian Equestrian Center?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

[Adell]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Yes I do, why? are you in the area and want to have a look?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Hi Adell just wanted to let you know that he is simply gorgeous! Do you have plans to breed him well into the future or just not sure yet?  I would love to see pictures of his babies as they come along. It's hard to find quality true black arabs in ontario #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

[Patricia]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Your horse would have to be trained in the AI process of collection.  Some people take them to breeding facilities where they do the collection and prepared the package.  They test it and prepare it for shipment.  You could contact Guelph OVC they may direct you as to where you could learn how.  You would probably need a phantom to collect.   When the above poster mentioned is he licenced for breeding...I guess she meant is he registered and they often need to be approved for breeding--at least for most breeds.  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

[Alada Clairion]

Yes, Adell, the Can Arabian Horse Registry requires a Transported Semen Certificate issued to the stallion owner...good for the life of the stallion. You also must obtain mare service cert's as well, for breeding.
Contact CAHR for info.
Of course, nothing is easy with any breed!

#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl# #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#I am not sure what I will be doing with him in the future. I am married to a army guy, so I will be moving around alot. I think that it would be hard to get good word of month around if you are not there the next year.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#I am hoping to lease him out long term. I am going to be very picky on where are who. Again it will be hard. #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#But thank you VERY much. I love knowing that there are others that think he is as great as I do. But as for finding quality true black arabs in ontario, there is TWO at the barn. She thinks hers is better, I think mine is. But other than being both black, arabs, and sweet hearts- they are nothing a like.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
