Welcome to Taliesin Throughbreds, a division of Celtic Song Stables. This is our broodmare band, & we are happy to be able to offer both American & imported mares for your consideration to be the dam of your next foal. Foal availability years on mares can be adjusted by permission, so if you see a lady you really want to use, please inquire. I'm willing to back a mare's FIRST foal up by one year, & extend her past her 22nd birthday on a case by case basis.
