“There are a lot of great stallions standing, but we’re looking for the type of stallions with owners that share the same goals as our team,” Melanie Smith, founder of Solo Select, said. “Our mission is to deliver unparalleled customer service and create an exceptional experience for both stallion and mare owners. Ty and I have always believed in building our business around great people. With the addition of Stallion Manager Matt Witman and Dustin Price, Contract Manager Leslie Melson, and Stallion Accountant Madison Swor this year, we are confident that we have assembled a team capable of providing an extraordinary experience for everyone involved with these stallions. We have an incredible first breeding season under our belt. Our team is prepared for a big 2025."
Solo Select’s own superstar stallions Woody Be Tuff, Pride And Joyy, The Darkk Side, Metallic Cattack, This Catt Shines and Time To Glo, as well as NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Open Champion Plain Catty, owned by the Gober family, will hold seven of the 16 spots, leaving room for just 9 outside horses. Those horses will be required to maintain a minimum booking of mares to be considered, with a dedication to the highest standards of marketing, promotion and teamwork.
"We've put in the due diligence to create one of the the finest facility in the U.S. for stallions," Ty Smith, Solo's CEO, said. "We will bring our stallion owners unprecedented opportunities, with both the offerings of our Select Genes mares and the outside mares we breed and manage each year. We don't cut corners when it comes to the care we put into these studs, and we want to partner with owners who value that."
Solo Select provides stallion and mare owners with industry-leading customer service, ranging from association and incentive registration and communication to clear, daily updates and profit and loss sheets for accounting purposes on every stallion. Solo Select offers all stallion business management to make the ownership experience enjoyable and hassle-free.
