Cutting-bred mares. Embryos by request.

Schmidt Ranch keeps twelve AQHA mares in Saint George, Utah. Daughters of One Time Royalty, Dual Rey, Dual Reyish, Dual Smart Rey and five more sires. Read their papers, pick the one you want to breed from, and send a request. We call you back to work out the stallion and the timing.

The mares

Twelve mares, oldest first. Each name opens her papers and three generations of pedigree.

How a booking works

Pricing depends on the mare, the stallion and the method, so we quote it on the call instead of posting a number that would be wrong for half the crosses.

  1. Send a request

    Tell us which mare you want and, if you have one picked, the stallion. It takes about a minute and commits you to nothing.

  2. We call you

    We confirm the mare is open for the season you want and talk through the cross, the method and what it costs.

  3. The contract

    Every booking is written up in a contract before any vet work is scheduled. Price, what is guaranteed and what is not are all in it.

  4. Collection

    A reproduction vet collects from the mare, either by flushing an embryo or by aspirating oocytes for ICSI, depending on the cross.

  5. The embryo

    For ICSI, the lab fertilizes the oocytes with your stallion's semen and grows them out. You hear from us as soon as there are results.

  6. Transfer or freeze

    The embryo goes into a recipient mare or into the freezer for later, whichever the contract says.

Words used on this site

LTE
Lifetime earnings. The prize money a horse has won in recorded competition.
Offspring earnings
The combined prize money won by a stallion's or mare's foals. It grows every show season, so each figure here carries the date it was reported.
OPU and ICSI
Ovum pick-up is the collection of unfertilized eggs from the mare. In ICSI a lab injects a single sperm into each egg. It makes embryos from very little semen, including frozen semen from stallions that have died.
Recipient mare
The mare that carries and foals out the embryo. The foal's registered dam is still the donor mare.
Six-panel test
The AQHA genetic panel for HYPP, PSSM1, MH, GBED, HERDA and MYHM. Ask for a mare's results with your request and match them against your stallion's.
