BREEDING CHECK LIST (please discuss with your vet)

Breeding Season is March 15-July 15th but will consider exceptions.

Please check on Art's availability for breeding before you get started. He typically has a busy show schedule early in the season and might on occasion be unavailable for collection. It is the mare owner’s responsibility to check on his availability.

Usually we can collect Monday - Friday except Holidays - please check for "blackout dates" around Memorial Day and July 4th weekends.
Black out dates: June 30 - July 11

Art is collected at Shannondale Farm by David Shannon. Please provide the following to David Shannon:

1) Email your shipping address, cell phone number and a Fed X number the week before we need to collect.

2) Call David to ensure receipt of your shipping information.

David's phone number is: 770 317-9337
Shannondale farm number 770 569-9555
David's email: ddshannon@mindspring.com

We Need two weeks approximate notice (when your mare is cycling)

Call Donna (678 491-0717) by 12 noon EST the day before Art needs to be collected and semen shipped (which is 2 days before the mare needs to be bred).

I.E. if the mare needs to be bred on Wednesday, call by noon EST on Monday. That way he is collected on Tuesday and your semen will be shipped late Tuesday and arrive by Fed X on Wednesday for breeding. FYI, if the mare needs to be bred on Tuesday the vet has to check the mare Friday or over the weekend to give us enough notice to collect on Monday, bc Monday notice will be too late to breed on Tuesday. So keep in mind, unless a vet works over the weekend, or knows on Friday that the mare needs to be bred on Tuesday, the mare can not be bred until Wednesday, Thurs, Friday, or Saturday.

Return the Equitainer by Fed X within 3 days after use
