We just had several more clients take advantage of our early booking discounts. Since many people have trouble making up their minds this early in the year, simply paying a booking fees reserves a discounted fee for any of our stallions. Mares may be named later, and if circumstances require, such as losing a foal and needing to rebreed to last year’s stallion, we can even move the contract to the next year.

We are proud of our ranch, our stallions, our broodmares, and our customer service. We want your business for a long time, not just one time.

Take a look at our stallions and take advantage of the early booking discounts before the prices go up. You can decide which mare later and can even change to a different Oasis Ranch stallion later! But you cannot get the discounted fee later.

We have added new photos to the Horses For Sale page. If you don’t see what you are looking for, send us a note on the Contacts page.  Keep checking back as we add more horses.
