We are Monte and
Catherine Thomas and we welcome you to come visit us and see the
stallions. We have been in the horse business for over thirty
years. We moved to Citra (FL) and started our stallion station about
eleven years ago. We offer breeding and training at our farm. Monte
also trains and races at Calder and Tampa Bay race tracks. Catherine
manages the farm and with the help of daughter Erica, and staff, the
stallions. Check back often as we update
the farm news
and be sure to give us a call to discuss our stallions!
We
have several nice broodmares on the Horses
For Sale page and we are offering several bred mares with special
terms. Please see the Specials Page.
Come meet us and see these well
bred stallions!

Please
Note New Stud Fee Offer:
Due to
recent TB yearling and mixed sales results, as well as the current
economic environment, Ups and Downs has lowered stud fees for our stallion roster for the 2009 season. This
is not a reflection on stallion quality but strictly due to market
conditions, and to help our clients. Breed To race, it is after all
what all buyers are looking for - Racing Horses!
All Stallions have a LFG and are being
offered at a discounted fee. Fees are $500 LFG for each stallion if
paid prior to Aug. 1st, 2009. If not
paid by that date the fee reverts to posted stud fee if not
paid.
Thank you for considering our stallions for your mares
this breeding season!
