As an added bonus, the farm are offering any breeder that sends two mares to the same stallion an additional incentive. When two mares owned by the same entity are sent to the same stallion, the first mare in foal will be at a cost of $5,000 +GST, and the second mare in foal will be free.

"We believe this offer represents outstanding value and has been offered to encourage breeders to consider breeding their mares at an affordable level," Wellfield Lodge principal Bill Gleeson said.
