Potential breeders will have access to each mare’s full profile and statistics. This will include photos and videos of the mare and any offspring. Additionally, each mare will have a full panel/color test, height, weight, conformation photos and a black-type pedigree.
Next, you will be able to choose your stallion. The possibilities are endless. We create embryos via ICSI; therefore, you can select nearly any stallion, including the legends. You will name your stallion choice during the checkout process. Mare owners will be able to accept or deny a stallion choice. If your stallion choice is denied for any reason, we can work with you to choose an alternate stallion, choose an alternate mare, or we will refund your deposit.
One you have chosen your stallion and mare, you will complete the checkout process online. A $500 deposit will be taken at this time. Once payment is made securely through the website, you will immediately receive a DocuSign contract to review and sign.
When contracts have been signed and payment received, Select Genes will begin palpating the mare. You will be updated by the Select Genes office, via text, on the mare’s cycle. Aspiration is entirely dependent upon her cycle and is scheduled when her follicle numbers are at the highest count. This means the aspiration may take place as soon as a week after payment or as long as 120 days after.
Following aspiration, lab technicians will begin creating embryos. Oocytes (unfertilized eggs), harvested in aspiration, are taken to the ICSI lab. At this time, an individual sperm is injected into the egg to create the embryo through the ICSI procedure.
During breeding season, fresh embryo(s) may be implanted into a recipient mare. If out of season, the embryos will all be frozen.
Fresh or frozen embryos are transferred to recipient mares. Recipient facilities must be approved by Select Genes. You may choose to implant all of your embryos immediately, or keep some of them frozen for future use. You have five years from the time of embryo creation to use your embryos.
You have created your dream cross - now it's time for us to help cheer them on in the show pen!
World-Class, Elite genetics available to YOU, for the first time ever.
