Harris Paint Horses

Tim and Cindy Harris own and operate Harris Paints of Federalsburg, Maryland. Established in 1987, the focus at Harris Paints has been to stand some of the top stallions in the industry, to produce quality paint and quarter horse foals and to offer their customers the personal service which comes from a family owned and operated facility. Through the years, we have expanded our services to include all breeds of horses and ponies, offering artificial insemination, foaling services and stallion management to owners of all breeds. We feel that we offer a rather unique form of customer service. By understanding that mares' cycles are often unpredictable which could necessitate a shipment of semen on a weekend, holiday or what would generally be considered an "non-collection day", our mare owner friendly shipped semen program ensures that your mare will receive semen when she actually needs it, no matter what day of the week it is. Also, by understanding the unpredictability of the mare, unlike most farms, we do not require a 24 or 48 hour notice prior to collecting and shipping as we accept calls up until 9:30 a.m. each day and the semen will be shipped that same day. We understand the time and expense our customers incur getting their mares ready for breeding and we therefore do everything possible to ensure they have semen when they need it. In 2007 we expanded our services to include stallion semen freezing. This service is available to owners of all breeds. We feel that the best way for a stallion owner to protect their investment is to bank frozen semen from their stallion. In the event of an illness or death of the stallion, owners are protected against the major financial loss of breeding income. Our facility is also USDA approved for quarantine and freezing of semen to be exported throughout the world. We have experience shipping frozen semen around the world and are ready to provide this service to our customers. In addition to breeding services we also offer a full range of services to our customers, including post surgery care, wound care, temporary board, weaning, halter breaking, fitting for sales and shows and basic training. Our unique "Kinder-Kolts" program is a big hit with our customers. Weanlings can be sent here for basic training including leading, tying, clipping, loading, bathing, etc.. Our graduates from "Kinder-Kolts" are quiet and ready to begin their careers as show, race or pleasure horses.
