Dear Vanessa,

I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you for working so hard to get me all of my shipments and for providing me with alot of semen too. I bred two of my mares in 2005. Vanessa was very accommodating to me. Shipping to me on off-days, on weekends and even had to drive to another town, to make Fed-Ex, cause we called late. We recently had the pleasure to meet Vanessa and Monty in person and see Imaginary Gold too. We purchased a mare in-foal in January. We drove from California to Kansas to pick her up. Vanessa and Monty are very nice people and Imaginary Gold is even more impressive in person. I am really looking forward to seeing my beautiful foals from my mares and Imaginary Gold.

Thanks again Vanessa and Monty.

Dear Vanessa,
Here is a short note to thank you for working so hard in 2004 on getting us shipped semen for our mare. You went that extra mile to make sure I got all the semen I needed and also took the extra time to follow up with my veterinarian. I believe you have the best stallions in the industry and it has been a pleasure working with you. I am looking forward to getting my third and fourth foal by Imaginary Gold in 2005 and I cant wait to show my two wonderful colts I got in 2003.

Best wishes,

I wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I appreciate all of the help and information you provided to me prior to and during the AI process. This being my first experience with AI, I had no clue as what to expect. You were kind enough to explain the process to me in a way I would understand it. My mare had not settled for two years prior when bred to my own stallion so I was anticipating issues getting her settled this year as well. When I called and told you the vet said she was ready, you responded immediately. My vet was impressed with the quality of semen he received from you and inseminated her. The next day, she still had not ovulated but he went ahead and inseminated her again. She still had not ovulated by the end of the next day so we thought we had missed her. I brought her home and waited an extremely long 16 day. Finally was able to have her checked and she was in foal! We have been checking her every 2 weeks since then and she is still in foal now. I believe it was the quality of semen you provided that allowed this outcome. Thank you again for your time, patience, knowledge and quality service.

Sincerely,

We had been looking for an outstanding Palomino Appaloosa stallion to breed to our Appaloosa mare for some time. One evening we emailed Heartland Appaloosas to inquire about Imaginary Gold. From the very beginning we found Vanessa Cudney to be very responsive, knowledgeable, and a delight to work with. Not only did we arrange a successful AI breeding of our mare, but we also purchased a 2003 Imaginary Gold/Impressive Mistere foal which just happened to be born the night we first contacted Vanessa. We started negotiations that night, and ended up with a great combined deal. The 2003 colt is fantastic, and we are very excited about the upcoming birth our 2004 Imaginary Gold foal. We couldn't be happier. We recommend Heartland Appaloosas to anyone wanting great honest service, reasonable prices, and high quality results.
