In a bold move to help strengthen Florida's thoroughbred breeding industry, Pleasant Acres Stallions today announced its Florida-Bred Excellence Program, introducing three ground breaking financial options for Florida breeders designed to give flexibility and support for the 2025 breeding season.
The innovative program features three distinct pathways: "Double Play, Lifetime Stay," "Proceeds Priority Program," and "25/25 Savings Success," each crafted to address individual breeding operation needs and personal financial strategies.
"We recognize that successful breeding programs require both exceptional bloodlines and smart financial planning," said Christine Jones, Director of Stallion Services at Pleasant Acres Stallions. "Our new Florida-Bred Excellence Programdemonstrates our commitment to supporting breeders with solutions that make sense for their operations, whether they're looking for long-term breeding rights, flexible payment terms, or immediate savings."
OPTION 1: DOUBLE PLAY, LIFETIME STAY: Build Long-Term Value with a Lifetime Breeding Right!
How It Works:
1. Breeder chooses preferred stallion(s) from the select group of five elite stallions standing at Pleasant Acre
2. Breed one or more mares in consecutive years (2025-2026) to the stallion of choice from the list of five
3. Pay stud fees within 30 days of foals standing and nursing
4. Register the foals with the Jockey Club
5. Receive a Lifetime Breeding Right to the selected stallion, offering one breeding season annually at no cost, beginning in 2027
Stallions Enrolled in Double Play, Lifetime Stay:
Doppelganger (by Into Mischief) $10,000 fee
Mr Fisk (by Arrogate) $8,500 fee
Simplification (by Not This Time) $6,500 fee
Chess Chief (by Into Mischief) $5,000 fee
Curlin's Honor (by Curlin) $2,500 fee
Double Play, Lifetime Stay offers breeders long-term cost savings through perpetual breeding rights. The program was developed to ensure Florida breeders the opportunity to build their individual breeding programs with proven bloodlines with no additional breeding fees after qualification. Breeders have the flexibility to use their annual breeding right as they choose, awarding the potential for significant ROI through multiple crops.
IMPORTANT: Stallions enrolled in this program are Doppelganger, Mr Fisk, Simplification, Chess Chief, and Curlin's Honor. Program limited to up to 3 mares per breeder. For opportunities involving more than three mares, please contact Christine Jones directly at (352) 804-6618 or christine@pleasantacresstallions.com
OPTION 2: PROCEEDS PRIORITY PROGRAM: Optimize Cash Flow with No Upfront Stud Fee Payments Due at Foaling!
For breeders seeking payment flexibility, the Proceeds Priority Program allows the deferment of stud fee payments until the foal sells - whether as a weanling or yearling - with all fees to be paid by December 31, 2027. This progressive approach helps breeders maintain positive cash flow during crucial foal development periods and aligns payments with sales revenue.
How It Works:
Mare is bred in 2025
Stud fee is paid when foal sells - whether as a weanling or yearling
Stud fee is paid in full by December 31, 2027
The Proceeds Priority Program is developed to give breeders more flexibility to reduce financial pressure during the crucial foal development timeline. Pleasant Acres Stallions understands the importance of focusing on raising quality foals without immediate fee pressure. This option gives breeders strategic timing flexibility to optimize sale offerings with the best market conditions.
IMPORTANT: Program limited to up to 6 mares per breeder. Excludes Champions Dream. For opportunities involving more than six mares, please contact Christine Jones directly at (352) 804-6618 or christine@pleasantacresstallions.com

This program maintains traditional payment terms while providing substantial savings.
How It Works:
Mare is booked and bred during 2025 breeding season
Breeder receives 25% off published stud fee if fee is paid in full within 30 days of foal standing and nursing
