Every stallion has a “tell,” says Bridgette Jablonsky, and, in this moment, in a dimly lit barn at Hanover Shoe Farms in Hanover, Pa., Somebeachsomewhere, the legendary Canadian harness racing champion and international Hall of Fame horse, is telling Jablonsky he is ready to perform.
Somebeachsomewhere’s readiness is never a certainty. He is a finicky and, at times, apathetic lover. To hasten his readiness Chiptease, a mare in heat, is in the barn, standing idly by as her would-be mate nips at her hindquarters, throws back his head, inhales deeply and, after 10 minutes, starts dancing about on his hooves.
This is the “tell” that Jablonsky, the farm’s manager and resident veterinarian, was waiting for.
“Don’t blow this,” she says to a groom, who leads the dancing stallion away from Chiptease to a “phantom mare” — basically the equine equivalent of an inflatable sex doll — that he mounts as Jablonsky guides his penis into a customized artificial vagina. The twin-layered rubber gizmo resembles a rubber boot, only bigger, and ends in a point and is filled with hot water to simulate a mare’s temperature. It is loose fitting, because Somebeachsomewhere, or just plain “Beach” as he is popularly known, prefers it that way.
Six thrusts and 60 seconds later, it’s over, an end punctuated by a triumphant whinny out of Beach. Slipping off the phantom mare he exits the barn into the sunlight beyond, for a post-coital meal of whole oats mixed with vitamin enriched horse pellets.

I was thinking the same thing.
Boy, do I know that feeling!
I was figuring somebody thought I moved there. :)
It appears Bridgette Jablonsky has Charlie Sheen’s dream job.
Man the Ted Cruz people won’t give it a rest
“six thrusts and 60 seconds later,it’s over”
I think a certain ex-president has that problem.
Damn you! Now I’m humming that frigging Monty Python lumberjack song!

After reading the article in full, realized it wasn’t about you....
Still....
What became of the ‘live cover’ thing?
Take off, eh
Live cover is still a requirement for thoroughbreds registered by the Jockey Club. Almost all other breeds now allow it.
