stud horse
Sire at farm
A stud horse is a male horse kept specifically for breeding purposes.
The term emphasizes the animal's reproductive function rather than its use for riding or work.
Stud horses are typically selected for desirable traits—speed, strength, temperament, or lineage—that owners hope will pass to offspring.
The ranch acquired a championship stud horse to improve their bloodline.
The word stud alone often suffices in equestrian contexts.
