Deltaire Arabian's Studs
Skip the description
.D.eltaire Arabians stands only the finest studs. To become a stud on our farm, a stallion must have proven bloodlines, a good build, perhaps an alright show record and a good progency record if he has any foals on the ground already.
.T.he Deltaire Arabian's Stud barn is a large, well made oak building. The barn is like two barns in one, with one 'mini barn' having ten stalls, of course including two washracks at one end of the barn. The left asile has six stalls, and then the washrack at the end. The right asile contains two stalls, then in the space of two stalls it is the feed room, enlargened to connect and take care of all the feeding needs of the two 'barns' it connects. Then it goes on to have two more stalls, then the last wash rack. Each stall in the 'stallion' part of the barn is gorgeous. Each door is double, so that the top can be opened. The part that is not the door has bars so the stallion can have views outside. We do not allow stallions to interact, so the walls between the two stalls actually have concrete, then the wood on each side to ensure the two do not come in contact. There is a turnout paddock on each stall, and in the back there is another double door, with the top that can become a window, with a sliding panel since we do not allow the whole top to open to the outside world, since we beleive he is more likely to attempt to breakout that way than facing the asile of the barn. There is a good three feet between the pastures, so once more they do not come in contact. Each stall has much bedding to ensure the comfort of each stallion, and the feed pan is in the corner, secured with wood around it as is the automatic waterer to ensure they do not harm themselves. Every week we remove the feeder, turn off the waterer and scrub out the whole stall and remove the old bedding, replacing it with new. The outer wall of each stall has blanket racks, for a cooler, winter blanket, and a 'sleeper' for each stallion. The upper door has a rack for the leather halter we provide each stallion with, with the brass name plate and the brass and leather stud chain. The bottom door has a brass nameplate, and instructions incase someone with good knowledge of the stallion is not around. Also in front of the stall, right below the blanket racks we have a small tack trunk that holds the three pairs of leg wraps we buy for each of our stallions, the two pairs of shipping boots, head guards for the halters *two*, as well as the two tail wraps we purchase for each stud. As you can tell, we take incredibly good care of our studs that make it to this barn, and we take no chances with them.
.T.he other 'barn' is for the outside mares that visit the farm. There are twenty stalls, each built much like the stud stalls, without the pasture and the double door. The outside mare's stalls have a small window. They have room for a tack box, and we have hooks and nylon halters on each stall as extras for the mares coming in. There are also hooks for clipboards with extensive information on the mare, such as her breeding requirments, when to breed, who to breed to, and how she is bred *live or artificial*. We take very good care of the mares, and we accept mares to come in for breeding, but wet will cost a bit more than when they are dry.
.A.t the moment we are focusing on showing and proving our young stallions as showhorses, before retiring them to the coveted stud barn. Before a stallion is retired to the stud barn, he has to go through a series of exams, and is closely examined. The amazing stallions that retire to the stud barn are outstanding sires, for if not they are sold soon. Each horse is fed in the morning, groomed, then rode afterwards. Or, if they have a full day of breeding we may just groom them then take them to the mares. Occasionally we will collect semen from our stallions to send, or use later on to breed a mare artificially. Then they may be turned out into their pasture, or have free choice to go in and out through stall into pasture, and vice versa. Our stallions are kept very well, and we excersise them often to keep them from becoming restless and brittle and becoming as vicious as other breeding stallions. Already, we know that the happenings of being kept in a stall all day and only coming out for what they probably think of as some nice pleasure, makes them horrible to control and actually causes some stallions to become hard to live breed. Our stallions aren't easy breeders, we aren't going to say that but our horses are a bit more well mannered.
