This lineage promises exceptional athleticism, intelligence, and trainability in his progeny.
Super Stallion Incentive Program Eligibility
Breeders choosing Check Yer Metal will benefit from his foals’ eligibility in the Valley Equine Super Stallion Incentive Program, enhancing the value and competitive potential of his offspring.
“I would like to thank Timber Creek and Dr. Gregg Veneklasen for the help in jump starting Mike’s breeding career but as he’s aged out and we are just weekend showing him some, moving him down to Valley Equine will allow customers faster access to him. To be included in the Valley Equine Super Stallion Incentive is extraordinary. I could not be more excited for his future!”
“We are thrilled to welcome ‘Mike’ into the barn alongside our incredible roster of stallions,” said Andrew Waters, Stallion Manager at Valley Equine. “Mike’s proven performance and pedigree make him an outstanding addition, and we’re excited to see the impact he will make.”
Check Yer Metal will stand with a breeding fee of $3,500 for the 2025 breeding season and he is 6 Panel N/N.
