The 2026 breeding season is just beginning, and for several of Solo Select’s stallions, the race to the book has already started.
Year after year, these names are marked BOOKED FULL for months before the season even opens—leaving latecomers wishing they’d moved faster.
This week, contracts open, and with them comes your best chance to lock in a spot with stallions expected to sell out well ahead of schedule.
“Our roping futurity payout is going to be wild—people are so excited for it,” Solo's Melanie Smith said. “We have some other incentives in the works that are going to be total game changers, and that information will be released very soon.”
As an added advantage for those ready to commit early, Solo Select is offering a 20% Early Booking Discount on select stallions through January 1, 2026.
But the real win is knowing your mare is matched to the stallion you want, with prime scheduling options still on the table.
In this game, timing isn’t just important—it’s everything.
“Every great horse starts with a great plan. By booking early, breeders not only secure access to the industry’s most sought-after stallions, but they also give themselves the best shot at producing their next champion. The 2026 roster is one of our most exciting yet, and we can’t wait to see the foals these stallions will produce.” — Melanie Smith
Early booking ensures 20% off standard rates, priority placement in the breeding schedule, and guaranteed access before books close. Solo Select’s 2026 stallion roster features proven producers, arena champions, and exciting young sires.
