A phantom is an inanimate object that a stallion mounts so semen may be collected. By utilizing this, you eliminate the need for a mare in heat. It also reduces the potential for injury and disease transmission inherent in live cover breedings. Most stallions can be trained to use the phantom within a two-week period. When adequately trained, stallions retain what they’ve learned so at any point in the future a phantom can be used without hesitation.
We have two phantoms at our facility. One is used for larger breeds of horses and the other is used for small, pony stallions. Each phantom has adjustable legs so angle and height can be tailored to fit various-sized stallions as well as those with injuries that prevent them from properly mounting. The phantom has been used successfully in retraining psychologically impotent stallions as well.
