Stallion Management Services has been building breeding
phantoms since 1997. We use what we sell and will be
there after the sale. SMS breeding phantoms are made with the best
materials and NO short cuts. The
steel, padding, and cover are all made in the USA.
We are the original designers and constantly improve
our phantoms - GUARANTEED!! We always love feedback
from our customers, and many of our improvements have come from customer
suggestions. See our about SMS Breeding
PhantomsTM for more info. For pictures of sample
breeding areas and info on footing - click

CUSTOM CUT PHANTOM
BODY- SMS breeding phantom bodies and legs come with a 10 year warranty (warranty does not include cover).
It is built from heavy duty steel, yet is still easily adjustable.
Our cutout on the side provides for easier positioning of the AV.
It helps keep the stallion positioned behind the breeding phantom rather
than trying to come around the side to reach the AV. Without the
cutout stallions have a tendency to twist their back to get to the AV on
the side of the AV. Once they are around the side, some
stallions just continue up the side until they fall off the front.
If they don't travel up the side, then they are still breeding in an
uncomfortable and unbalanced position. By starting him behind the
breeding phantom in a comfortable position he has no reason to travel up
the side. There is also the added touch of another comfort cut at
the top of the back end. It was put there purely for the comfort
of the stallion. After all he is the main customer of the breeding
phantom.
PHANTOM LEGS
- The SMS Breeding Phantom is built with two heavy duty steel legs to withstand the most aggressive
stallions. During training stallions have been known to climb
completely over a breeding phantom with the entire weight of their body
on the breeding phantom all at once. Have piece of mind knowing
your breeding phantom has two sturdy legs under it and two heavy duty,
SOLID connecting points to the breeding phantom body. Our
legs don't have any fancy gears or hydraulics to adjust them.
Our legs are the same size square tubing and hitch pins used to tow your
trailer. How could you get any stronger than that? This
makes our phantoms less expensive to make, yet you can still easily change
their height and angle. (see below - the second picture is for
demonstration purposes only, you wouldn't use the phantom in this
position). You don't need to change any pins under the phantom
body to change angle, only on the lower leg pin.

Our
legs are positioned toward the back to
properly distribute his weight over BOTH legs. When the legs are
toward the front of the phantom one of the legs ends up in the middle of
the phantom. As the stallions is mounted on one end, the center
leg works like a fulcrum (imagine a teeter totter - what happens when
weight is applied at one end - the other end goes up) That puts a
lot of lift on that front leg and I've seen them pop right out of the
ground, cement and all. You also don't want the legs so far
back that they are in the way of the stallion's hind feet while he is on
the phantom.
PHANTOM PADDING -
Our padding has been chosen to
provide maximum give and at the same time provide stability. The
outer most padding is 100% waterproof and moisture resistant and stays
flexible to -35 degrees. The inside padding is designed to provide
enough "give" so the stallion can comfortably grip the breeding phantom
without struggling and without the need for hips. If the breeding
phantom is too hard the stallion's legs can't not "grab" the phantom,
which he needs to do to be able to thrust properly.
PHANTOM COVERS -
Our covers are made from a heavy
duty industrial material manufactured with cross linked fibers to
protect it from tearing further if ever punctured. Our cover is
removable for repairs and/or replacement covers are available. I'm
sorry but it does not come in Tan or Brown. We used to offer those
colors, but found this material to be much stronger. It is still
22 oz., but it is made in America, not overseas. Some of the
materials we used in the past delaminated, allowing the rough polyester
or nylon fabric underneath to wear through.
Every aspect of the SMS Breeding Phantom
has been carefully designed to provide you with the most comfortable and
safe breeding phantom on the market. We collect and train
stallions for a living and have used many different breeding mounts, and
I can very proudly say
"our breeding phantoms are the best I've used".
