Expert Courier Service

From European stud to your door

Every shipment is coordinated, tracked and followed up personally — so you always know where your semen is and when it will arrive.

Delivery addresses & timings

Semen can be delivered to your home, yard or veterinary practice. Please let us know your preferred delivery window when ordering — see the Ordering & Availability page.

Delivery on UK Holidays

This affects all stallions, as UK couriers cannot deliver on UK Bank Holidays — but we can deliver on a European holiday. The Stallions Direct office is always open, so Bank Holidays are not an issue for ordering semen dispatching from the UK for next-day delivery, providing there are no corresponding EU holiday dates where your chosen stallion stands.

Where a UK Bank Holiday falls on a Monday, we are happy to dispatch frozen semen from Shropshire or Lincolnshire if required — a same-day driver can be arranged for an additional cost. Or you are welcome to collect and pop in for a cup of tea.

Delivery on EU Holidays

Semen cannot be sent from studs in Europe on these days, but can be delivered in the UK provided there is not a corresponding public holiday, and the semen is ordered the previous day.

Where an EU Bank Holiday falls on a Monday, the earliest the semen can be delivered to the UK is the Wednesday of the same week. The EU stud season runs from January to August; German studs will close their breeding stations at the end of July, and we stop shipping from mid-late August. If semen is required on EU Bank Holidays, please contact us to check if we have frozen stock in the UK, as frozen can sometimes be supplied on chilled terms in this case.

Urgent or unusual requirements

If you have a time-sensitive delivery or an unusual request, contact the team directly rather than using the standard order form.
