Taylor Made Stallions

What Taylor Made Stallions does

Taylor Made Stallions is a thoroughbred stallion breeding operation and division of Taylor Made Farm, headquartered at 2765 Union Mill Road, Nicholasville, Kentucky. The company stands a roster of ten active stallions led by Not This Time at $250,000 S&N (Stud and Nursery) in 2026, alongside Arthur's Ride and Early Voting ($12,500 each), Knicks Go ($12,500), Instagrand and Instilled Regard ($8,000 each), and Dr. Schivel, Angel of Empire, Idol, and Tacitus ($5,000 each). Services include stud bookings, breeding shed operations, mare management forms, and pedigree-based mating recommendations. The State-Bred Initiative Program offers complimentary stud fee waivers for approved mares foaled outside Kentucky, broadening access for regional state-bred breeders.

The business operates on a B2B direct-to-consumer model in which mare owners (commercial breeders, racehorse investors, and regional breeders) book seasons directly through a booking coordinator, with submission forms and service certificates processing the transaction. Taylor Made Stallions is vertically integrated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Taylor Made Sales Agency, which consigns yearlings at major auctions including Keeneland September, Saratoga, OBS, and Fasig-Tipton. The company markets primarily through its website (taylormadestallions.com), industry press coverage, and a 2026 partnership with Visit Horse Country and Diamond A Farm for public farm tours. Notable recent additions to the roster include Arthur's Ride (2024 Whitney S. G1 winner), Angel of Empire (2023 Arkansas Derby G1 winner), and Dr. Schivel (multiple G1 winner), with first commercial crops from these and other stallions arriving in 2026. Not This Time's progeny include 9 Grade 1 winners, the 2022 Champion 3-Year-Old Colt (Epicenter), the 2023 Champion Turf Male (Up to the Mark), and the 2021 Horse of the Year (Knicks Go).
