A fourth stallion - three quarter horses and one paint - that formerly stood at a Central Kentucky breeding facility, now identified as DeGraff Stables/Liberty Farm Equine Reproduction Center LLC, has tested positive for contagious equine metritis (CEM). Officials had considered this highly contagious venereal disease eradicated from the United States until it was identified during routine testing of a stallion earlier in December to qualify semen for exportation.

* STALLION DIRECTORY CORRECTION *

PLEASE NOTE: correction to the 2009 Stallion Directory as published.
The Breeding fee for the Spruce Meadows stallion LE PRIMEUR is $2,000 Canadian funds, NOT as published in the Directory. The web site is correct. All of Spruce Meadows stallions are 300 day tested from Germany and offer a Live Foal Guarantee. The Association sincerely apologizes to Spruce Meadows for this error and any confusion it has caused.
Any other corrections will be posted here as they come to light.
