Select Genes Mares — World-Class Genetics.
Your Program.

How It Works

The Select Genes Process

We are giving breeders access to world-class maternal genetics in a way that has never been available.

1. Step01

   01Select Your Mare

   Start with the donor roster. Every mare carries a full profile: photos, videos, black-type pedigree, produce record, and genetic testing, so you can judge her the way you would judge her in person.

   • She stays with her current owner. You're buying the foal, not the mare
   • Free to browse and ask questions, no obligation to commit
   • Not sure which mare fits your program? Our team will help you shortlist
2. Step02

   02Select Your Stallion

   Pick nearly any stallion in the industry, including the legends. Because ICSI uses a single sperm per egg, one straw goes a very long way, which opens doors conventional breeding can't: limited semen, deceased sires, your own stallion.

   • The mare owner gives final approval on every pairing
   • No stallion in mind? We'll recommend crosses based on your goals
   • The stallion's breeding fee is billed separately, by that stallion's own contract
   • Sexed semen is often available, so you can select for a colt or filly
3. Step03

   03Contract & Payment

   Complete your contract online to secure the aspiration. The paperwork spells out exactly what you are buying: one viable embryo from your chosen cross, confirmed in a recipient mare, so there are no surprises.

   • Every aspiration is covered by our viable-embryo guarantee
   • Zero embryos? Re-aspirate the same mare or a different one, even this season, for just the chute fee
   • You pay the mare's full price up front. It covers the aspiration and your first embryo
4. Step04

   04Aspiration & ICSI

   We schedule the aspiration around your chosen mare's cycle. Mature eggs are collected by ultrasound-guided OPU while she stands sedated, then go to the ICSI lab, where a single sperm is injected into each mature egg.

   • One aspiration commonly produces more than one viable embryo
   • Not tied to the natural breeding season, so we work around your timeline
   • A licensed reproduction vet oversees every step, from aspiration through the lab
   • Aspiration and ICSI are covered in the price you see on her mare page. You pay lab fees per embryo
5. Step05

   05Transfer of Embryo(s)

   Fertilized eggs are cultured for roughly seven to ten days until the viable ones develop into embryos. Each viable embryo is then transferred fresh into a recipient mare or frozen for a later cycle.

   • Solo Select offers a 2,500-plus recipient mare herd
   • Frozen embryos stay viable up to five years, so timing is up to you
   • A licensed vet confirms pregnancy at the 55-day in-foal check
   • Insurance is available once she's confirmed in foal at 55 days
6. Step06

   06Welcome Your Foal

   The pregnancy is monitored to a confirmed heartbeat, with real-time updates from aspiration onward. Eleven months later you meet the foal you designed, and we get to cheer them on in the show pen.

   • The foal is 100% yours: register, market, and train from day one
   • You're listed as the breeder of record for the foal
   • Take the recipient mare home, or leave her with us for full care, A to Z
   • Never billed for a pregnancy that doesn't reach a confirmed heartbeat
