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

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. 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. There are many manufacturers of the material we
use for our phantoms, but they are not created equally. They may
all have been 22oz fabric, but there is more to it than that. We
have tried a half dozen different manufactures, and in 2004 we found the
best, and it is Made in America. Several of the other fabrics were
made overseas and would delaminate or not hold up due to the inferior
manufacturing process.
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".
