yeah like I said this was an older horse...he knew the drill...when he saw his breeding 'bridle' come out of the tack room that was usually all it took.

Warm bloods are mostly done by AI these days as well.

Yep... they definitely are. Stud fees on warmbloods are what I'd consider "cheap" compared to thoroughbred stud fees. My sister interned at this place: http://www.highlifefarms.com/

They still have frozen semen available on a stallion that passed away a year or two ago (Highlife.) He was a nice horse, too...
