Manu Fortis Proud Chieftain’s studbook is open to mares of all breeds and registries. Due to his training and show schedule, his stud book will remain very limited for fresh/cooled collections. Please book your breedings early in the year to ensure a booking or, alternatively, consider the frozen dose option for your mare.

Given the limited bookings for fresh and cooled stud services, frozen doses are being offered at a discount to allow more mare owners access to Proud Chieftain during his show season. Frozen doses have been proven and meet current industry standards.

To reserve a breeding, a fully executed contract, available on the links below, needs to be submitted via email. The stud fee must also be paid in full prior to breeding services being rendered.

If applying for the discounted performance mare service agreement, the mare owner is responsible for submitting performance records for verification. If the mare owner cannot supply records to meet the performance standards outlined and agreed to in the discounted contract, the mare owner is responsible for paying the difference in stud service fee prior to breeding services being rendered.

Collection Availability

Manu Fortis Proud Chieftain’s breeding season runs February 1st to November 30th. Collections are available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays only. Overnight and counter-to-counter services are currently available nationwide and to Canada.

Collection requests must be placed directly with the collection facility, Summit Equine Inc, by 5pm Pacific time the day prior (Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, respectively). Counter-to-counter orders can be clarified at that time.

Mare owners that have submitted contracts for fresh or cooled shipped services will be notified in advance of any unavailable collection dates due to show scheduling.

Breeding Process

Once you have submitted a completed breeding contract from the link above, the full stud fee will need to be paid. To pay the stud fee, mare owners can choose from one of three payment options:

1) Snail Mail a Paper Check, made payable to Realtra Stables. Paper checks need to be received and clear the bank at least one week prior to the anticipated collection and should be sent with tracking.

2) Pay via debit or credit card with 3% charge fee. Mare owners will need to call in to provide the card number and should not text or leave the card number in a voice mail.

3) Submit payment of the stud fee through PayPal via @RealtraStables. PayPal may charge additional fees for processing and transfer.

The $300 booking fee for Manu Fortis Proud Chieftain is included in the stud fee and not available as a separate payment.

Once a breeding contract for fresh/cooled shipped services is submitted, mare owners should also contact Summit Equine Inc, which is the facility that collects Manu Fortis Proud Chieftain. To expedite the collection process and ensure there are no unnecessary delays in shipping, Summit Equine will need a payment method on file along with the receiving address.

As your mare approaches her anticipated ovulation date, your veterinarian must text Summit Equine directly at the phone number provided in the contract to book a collection and shipment.

Please contact Summit Equine for updated pricing on stallion collection fees, estimated shipping costs for cooled doses, or for on-site mare management and fresh dose breeding.

If your mare is being bred with frozen, frozen doses may be shipped in advance of the mare’s breeding cycle and can be coordinated directly with the storage facility, Oakhurst Equine Veterinary Services. Please contact Oakhurst for estimates on shipping and processing time.
