There is a great divergence of opinion with regard to thoroughbred stallions, and we should have liked to have the scheme put before us.
Many f these stallions have been bought overseas for very large sums; they do not belong to one owner, but are syndicated.
We all know the telephone number prices for which stallions are often syndicated.
The secondary recommendation was that stallions should be kept out of fields with bridleways in much the same way as has been proposed for bulls.
This removes the limits of registration fees for bulls and stallions.
The exports of brood mares and stallions are of great value.
In 1954, the value of imports of stallions, mares and geldings was £5,287,000, and of exports £5,018,000.
Many of the commercial stud farms send their mares to visit stallions around the country.
