  • Great information.

    Thank you for putting this episode together. We have had long discussions about our boarding business. We have all the contracts in place. Never thought about putting the land into an LLC. All of that starts next week with the attorney. Thank you so much. Keep going!

Q: What are the logistics of delivering semen to Australia and ensuring successful pregnancies?
Breeders contact the Solo Select team or Healey Quarter Horses to obtain contracts; semen is shipped via gene movers, with health certificates, quarantine steps, and USDA-compliant processes; breeding and pregnancy tracking is coordinated with local vets and breed returns around 45 days gestation.
Episode 20: Solo Select Expands Global Reach with Sponsorship of the 2026 NCHA Australia Open Futurity
Q: How did the partnership with Australia start and evolve?
It began when a stallion TapDancingCat from the U.S. was popular in Australia, which led to promoting American stallions there and eventually meeting MVP's John Kratzner; from that point it grew into a sustained, multi-year collaboration with a second market for stallions in Australia.
