Why is Wap Spotted at McCoy Farms Cheri Moats previous owner of Wap Spotted sold us a breeding breeding contract for 10 breedings prior to breeding season of 2002.  During the breeding season 2002: Wap Spotted had a successful breeding season, in July or august Wap Spotted took some time off to heal a cracked vertebrae which was in his neck. In 2003, Wap Spotted was removed from Kismet Farms, and standing at a new reproduction facilities. While he was at this facility, I requested 4 or 5 shipments of semen (cooled) and had no successes.  I contacted Cheri Moats and she said she did not know what the problem was but they collected and shipped 22 breedings which resulted in only 1 pregnancy. At the end of this period, Wap Spotted was shipped to friend of Cheri’s in Indiana. In spring of 2004, Teddy was shipped to Gumz Farms. Amy Gumz first ran cultures on Teddy and found he was infected with Streptococci. Amy said she treated him with everything in the medicine cabinet.  Amy treated the semen and was able to maintain clear cultures for every collection.  While Teddy was at Gumz Farms, he was available for cool shipped semen for a limited time. In 2004, I was shipped two breedings and both mares were ultrasounded, and determined pregnant. One mare didn’t settle.  The other mare produced a Wap colt in 2005. Amy tested Teddy’s semen for success in freezing.  Once she established that Teddy’s semen could be frozen and thawed successfully, he was collected and semen was frozen. Teddy has proven to have a very high success rate with the frozen semen. Once breeding season was over, Teddy was moved from Gumz back to Cheri’s Friend the farm in IN. In October 2005 Cheri and I had several discussions about how she was going to fulfill my breeding contract, by January 2006 we had reached an agreed that I would purchase Wap Spotted and all Frozen Semen. I moved Wap Spotted back to Gumz Farms to be tested. At first, Teddy could not be collected because of the infections. Amy obtained several cultures and sent them in to the lab. I had a transport pick him up and bring him to McCoy Farms here in Sanger, California.
