Hi Christine!

Just found out you had a testimonial section on your web so would like to contribute.

I would like to THANK YOU for being such a down-to-earth, honest, and hard working person, oh yeah, fun too! It was truly a joy to be able to bring our cutting stallion “Rio” to your facility, have you collect him, evaluate his semen, prep, cool and package it to ship to Colorado, no fuss no muss and on time. You received a frantic call from Juliann because the shippers hadn’t gotten the semen to her at the time they stated but you were a trooper, found out where the container was, and were very reassuring that things would be fine. The semen arrived as you promised (good thing you had faith in UPS!), the semen was in excellent condition, they inseminated the mare, stored the second straw, checked the semen the second day (which is actually day three now) it was still in great condition, they inseminated the mare and 11 months later had a beautiful tri-colored paint filly! Juliann was ecstatic and ready to do it again.

Your fees are very reasonable with no nickel and dime extra charges for this and that and here and there things, we greatly appreciated being charged what we were told we were going to be charged. I highly recommend you to others who would like to have their stallion(s) collected and semen shipped! Hope we can do it again this year!!

Sincerely,

Debi Pyle

Hi Christine,

We received the shipment and the motility was great! We inseminated on Wed., then checked yesterday and she had ovulated...so we hit it with great timing.

Thanks again,

Karen

Hi Chris,

We took the Lucy up to Cornell and at 41 days the little foal nodded it’s head on the ultrasound so it’s saying “Yeah, baby!” The repro vet said we should always order semen from CA because they are such good swimmers out there…..Is Iceman near water??? J

Hi Christine,

Bob just told me that he had forgotten to drop you a line on Saturday to let you know that our Morgan mare, Faline, was checked "in foal" with a very nice looking 20-day pregnancy to Gallant Lad. YEAH!! Job well done! I think Bob may have told you the semen only made it as far as Albany, NY which is about a two and a half hour drive from home. Perhaps it contributed to the success! Also, the road trip gave some "girl time" to my friend and I. The pregnancy check was held off 'til 20 days due to the vet's scheduling conflicts and the mares tendency to drop more than one egg at a time so they wanted to confidently rule out twins.

Middlebury Large Animal Clinic, who provided the veterinarian services, was very impressed by the level of professionalism and experience you had demonstrated throughout this breeding venture. I thank you for all you have done to get us the semen in an exact and timely manner. I am so excited at the prospect of a Gallant Lad baby!! We will have the mare rechecked at 45 days and I will drop you a line to let you know of the status of the pregnancy.

Thanks again for all your efforts,

Kerry

Dear Chris,

I want to thank you for such a successful breeding. The semen arrived by 10 AM and we bred at noon. The sperm had about 75% motility and looked great. My mare was just perfect to be bred so we are feeling very good about the whole thing. My vet commented on how good the semen was. She will be bred again tomorrow morning just to be safe. This is my first time to use shipped semen and I am thrilled with the whole process. Now all we can do is pray for a pregnancy when she's checked in 17 days! Thanks again for everything.

Hey Chris,

I inseminated my mare on Friday and she is out of heat as of last night. I believe I got the semen into her at the exact "right" time. I can't thank you enough for shipping to me on such short notice and without even so much as a grumble! I have told every mare-owner I know about your terrific attitude and willingness to work with me and how great I think your stallions are. Perhaps next year, a couple of them (the mare owners) will be booking to one or both of your boys.

Again, thank you so much!!!

Chris-

It has truly been a pleasure working with you and Cals Special Edition
over the past 2 years. We have never had an experience this satisfying
in the 10 years that we have been breeding horses. Not only is the semen
always of exceptional quality, you are a jewel to work with! We once
tested the semen just for the fun of it after 4 days in the Equitainer
and it was still at 60 percent motility!!! Our veterinarians always
remark how good the semen is when they open the container. And best of
all-WE LOVE OUR FOALS! Not only are they put together great, but they
are as genetically sound as they possibly can be, and have GREAT
dispositions. Chris-keep up the good work. We will keep coming back year
after year.

Chris,

I want to commend you on what a great job you did last year with all my mares. 100% got bred and had nice babies. You took excellent care of them too! Thanks again.
