Pony Pimp

That is what my brother calls me because I have started advertising Roscoe to the public. I guess he is not far off the mark since I am selling stud service :)

My photo for the ad, two pictures Lisa took and two of mine.

I decided that if we are going to own a stallion, I should at least put him out there. I am not out to book a ton of mares. He will be only 3 yrs old and as long as he behaves he has plenty of time.
After consulting with Lisa, his breeder, I listed him with a $500 stud fee available for AI or live cover. The mare owner would have to cover collection and shipping fees also. For live cover we would still bring him to the reproductive center so they can handle him. It will cost me $60, but I would rather have someone knowledgeable handling him and helping with the breeding. I am all about keeping us separate from the breeding work in Roscoe's mind.
The response has been surprisingly positive. I have even sent a contract to a respected Cob breeder up north. They have 3 awesome stallions themselves. One of which has similar markings to Roscoe. Even if no one else uses him, but this one farm and his breeder I will be happy.
The hardest part is that he is so young and not done growing. I was asked his height and answered that he was 13.1-2h. Little did I realize I should also put what he will mature to. Such a learning curve.
For the holidays I listed a reduced stud fee, $300. I figured what the heck, added incentive. Maybe I will make enough to cover the bill when he gets his wolf teeth pulled. So hopefully in 2015 there will be Roscoe babies on the ground. Fingers crossed XXX

 I have to figure out how to add him to All Breed Pedigrees, but here are links to his parents.
