Meet The Stallion and Breeding Farm Manager, Keith Feister
Our Stallion Manager for The Breeding Barn is Keith Feister, owner of Brightstone Ranch which is set up specifically to care for stallions. Resident stallions have spacious, open stalls in the stallion barn and are turned out daily in large, grassy paddocks where they are able to exercise and have time to just be horses. Because he keeps the numbers of horses down at the ranch. they are able to provide more individual attention to those stallions that have special requirements to obtain peak breeding efficiency. Our Stallion Manager can freeze semen on stallions for both domestic use and international export. He is familiar with, and his facility meets all the requirements for export to all foreign countries, including federal quarantine. As a rule, all stallions being frozen for the first time are test frozen, then thawed and examined for motility. Mares will also be test bred with this first freeze to ensure the semen is of sufficient quality to obtain a pregnancy.
