Journeyman Stud has relocated to Brent and Crystal Fernung's Reddick, Florida property for the 2023 breeding season.
“When we built the original stallion farm in 2008, our goal was to accommodate a large contingent of stallions and hence a fifteen-stall stallion barn,” said Brent Fernung. “Over the years, we've changed our sights toward more quality, fewer numbers and no longer saw the need for the larger operation. We've owned the Reddick property since 2006 and previously utilized it as our foaling facility and to start breaking yearlings.”
The new Journeyman Stud will stand four stallions in 2023 led by Khozan (Distorted Humor), Florida's leading sire the last three years. He will stand the 2023 breeding season for $6,500. Khozan's leading earner this year is GIII Victory Ride S. winner Hot Peppers.
Journeyman is also home to GSW Uncle Chuck (Uncle Mo) who stood his first year at stud in 2022. A half-brother to Maclean's Music (Distorted Humor), Uncle Chuck's stud fee will be $6,500 in 2023.
St Patrick's Day (Pioneerof the Nile), a full brother to Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, will stand for $3,500 in 2023 just as his first crop of 2-year-olds hit the track.
Rounding out the roster is MSW & GISP Chance It (Currency Swap) whose first foals will be born next year. His stud fee will be $2,000 in 2023.
The Fernungs will announce an upcoming date for their Open House in January to showcase the new facility.
