First you have to join the Welsh Pony and Cob Society if you aren't already a member. Then you have to apply to them for his stallion license. You send them the fee and they will send you back the relevant paperwork and a DNA kit. You then get vert out to perform stallion vetting, fill in forms, and take mane hairs for DNA. Send DNA sample to where that had to go. Send relevant paperwork and passport back to WPCS to stamp his stallion license, and hey presto you have a licensed stallion.
You then have to figure out what 'terms' you want to stand him at. Some people offer no foal free return. Some offer no foal no fee. In other words if their mare doesn't take, they either don't pay or get a free go. You also have to have grazing/stabling available for visiting mares, as well as the necessary insurances to cover you for accidents to their horses, and a vet available for scanning etc etc. Many people will also return a mare to the stud it was covered at for foaling. You should also have him tested periodically for disease if you are intending to stand him at public stud.
Then it's a matter of advertise him for stud along with any show record, and wait to see if people book him.
That's a basic run down. There's a lot more ins and outs such as do you cover in hand or run with mares. If you run the stallion with mares do you have a suitable field away from other mares. If you cover in hand do you have a suitable area to do this? Is there a teaser partition so you can safely tease mares without your stallion being hurt? Do you offer AI?...the list is quite long and I'm sure someone can fill in the gaps.
Personally I wouldn't want the hassle of standing my boy at public stud, though I'd let friends use him if they really wanted to.

I applied for stallion License for my sec D with WPCS and did the above but did not have to be a member - this was last year. I have only used him on my own mares. Any animal that is older than 2yrs has to have a License - I'm sure i'll be corrected in wrong!! |

Any animal that is older than 2yrs has to have a License - I'm sure i'll be corrected in wrong!! I thought membership was necessary. I know it is for registering pure breds so assumed it was for stallion licensing. I was a member anyway when I did my boys license. Regarding stallions over two needing a license, they do to have the stock registered with WPCS as purebred, but in law there's no requirement to have a stallion licensed. You can't show a stallion without a license at nost shows, and you obviously can't register stock as purebred without one. The ages of stallion licensing varies from society to society. Some it's two, others it's 3, one now collapsed society only required licenses to be done when the first foal from the stallion was born. |
