In
December of 1997 we built our first phantom. It wasn't exactly
a pretty site. It probably looked like a lot of homemade
breeding phantoms out there. After it's initial test run
it had to be taken back to the shop to do some modifications.
We made 9 more phantoms between Dec. 1997 and March 2000 for local
horse breeders. Each one improving on the prior one.
We made them too short, too fat, too soft, too hard. You name
it, we did it. We have to thank the invaluable input from Dr.
Mennick at
Pacific International Genetics.
He was instrumental in the designing of the current SMS Breeding
PhantomTM.
Then in August of 2000 we sold our first SMS Breeding PhantomTM
. From then on we have sold phantoms all over the United
States, Canada, and Europe.
Many of
our minor but important improvements since 2000 have been through
the feedback of our customers. We would also like to thank
them for their insights.
Thank
you everyone who has helped with and/or bought our phantoms.
We couldn't have done it without the horse breeders that use them.
Sincerely,
Christine Michelson
