I was curious to see how JEH Stallion Station was these days (found them standing Euroears and Preachinatthebar among others) and did a double take when I saw that Favorite Trick was listed at $3,000 for his 2012 fee. Obviously it's through non-JC allowed ICSI for QH mares basically.
He may be gone, but it was kinda neat to see him carrying on in a manner of speaking. I knew they did this with QH stallions, but it never occurred to me to think of it as an option for Favorite Trick. I wonder how much of his, uh, assets are available and when the farm expects to run out.

yeah, some tb stallions are used to breed appendix quarter horses. it's my understanding that alydar is in the pedigrees of many appendix qh racers. pretty neat stuff. i wonder how many mares they can 'cover' tho with frozen specimens? add extenders to get more bred from a sample? not something i've pondered, probably for a reason! lol
