Sequel New York Announces 2020 Stud Fees And Stallion Show

“It is a very tough climate in the sales market anywhere now, but especially in the regional markets,” said owner Becky Thomas. “We want to give our breeders a chance to make some money. Therefore, we have reduced the fees for five of our top young stallions to $5,000 for 2020, giving our breeders the very best value for their breeding dollar.”
