Thank You for your support of the Ups and Downs Stallions in 2009!
We look forward to the 2010 season and the new foal crop!

Please Note New Stallion Fees:

Due to recent TB yearling and mixed sales results, as well as the current economic environment, Ups and Downs has lowered stud fees for most of 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.
All farm stallions fees are $500 if paid by Aug. 1st, 2009 and come with a live foal Guarantee, Stands and Nurses. If not paid by Aug. 1st the fee reverts to the posted 2009 fee for that stallion and is due when the foal Stands and Nurses.
Thank you for considering our stallions for your mares this breeding season!
