Locutus AV (Lotus T x Heart’s Dazzle x State of the Art x Art Deco) is an exciting young stallion that offers an amazing temperament & rideability with plenty of power & scope. Locutus AV has a wonderful & easy-going temperament that should calm down even the hottest mare.
Locutus AV stands over 17 hands with an uphill build, beautiful neck & powerful shoulder. He has a short topline with strong & powerful hindquarters. He is a refining stallion that should lighten up even the heaviest mare. He has beautiful elastic gaits that are fancy enough for the dressage arena.
Locutus AV has started his show career in showjumping and will also debut in dressage & the hunter ring. His offspring are noted for being heavily influenced by him with their excellent temperament, harmonious conformation, ground covering movement and athleticism.
Excellent quality collections that can even settle the hardest to catch mares. Locutus AV has a limited supply of frozen semen available.

Important Information
Mare Information
We want to work closely with you and your veterinarian to ensure a successful breeding season and are available for questions at any time. The following information includes some basic suggestions as well as reminders on a few requirements for your breeding contract.
A Breeding Soundness Exam including a uterine culture is recommended, but not required, for all mares prior to breeding. If a mare fails to settle after two breeding cycles, We will require a culture and cytology to be done at that time prior to any additional shipments of semen. We always recommend your vet checking your mare post-breeding to confirm ovulation.
Getting your mare settled in foal is just the beginning. We recommend multiple pregnancy checks to help prevent cases of twins, misdiagnosed pregnancies, or lost time in the breeding season. The following schedule is what we recommend; only the first and fourth checks however are required by your breeding contract.
-1st check (Required): 14-16 days post ovulation – optimum time for vet to pinch off a twin if more than a single ovulation is noted.
-2nd check (Recommended): 28 days post ovulation – to confirm a viable pregnancy as the heartbeat normally appears by day 25.
-3rd check (Recommended): 35-40 days post ovulation – to confirm maintained pregnancy prior to endometrial cup formation. Mares that slip foals early may not come back into heat.
-4th check (Required): 55-60 days post ovulation – final confirmation of pregnancy in its critical first trimester.
Any changes in pregnancy status after the 14-16 day check must be communicated to us immediately.
Frozen Semen
