Phantom Training The Stallion - An OverviewBy Jos Mottershead
Phantom training is not as hard as one might imagine it to be. It involves conditioned reflex response (remember "Pavlov's dogs" from school science?)
The response is of course ejaculation. The condition the stallion must undergo to achieve that is to mount the phantom mare (also known as a breeding dummy) and breed the AV.
Teaching to mount is achieved by the judicious use and placement of a mare in estrus. The stallion is first "teased", then the mare is placed in front of the phantom, slightly off to one side, usually the right, as it's commonest for the AV handler to work on the left. Initially it is best to have the animals facing each other, only if the stallion seems uninterested should one turn the mare so her rear faces him.
The stallion is led to the phantom mare, which should have had a little estrus mare's urine rubbed on the end nearest the stallion, and he should be encouraged to sniff this. Often he will mount the phantom mare once he has sniffed the urine it, but if he starts to loose interest, then the real mare is moved to regain his attention to the business at hand.
Usually the stallion will mount after a little encouragement. At this point, his penis should be deflected into the AV, and he should be allowed to breed the AV. Stallions vary as to how much handling of the penis they will tolerate. Some one can be quite agressive with, and really "work" the AV, others will not allow this, and will lose their erection, or dismount.
The AV handler can check to see if the stallion has ejaculated by feeling the base of the penis for pulsations at the time of the ejaculation. Visually, one can see if the tail is "flagged", and depending upon what collection method is used, in some cases one can see the semen filling the container attached to the AV.
It is important to note that although the phantom training process is not difficult, it is very essential to get the timing right, the degree of stimulation by the mare's proximity and the penis/AV handling correct. Without all of these things coming together, there is a good chance the stallion will not ejaculate. If this occurs, then it is possible the exact opposite to that which is desired will happen, and the stallion will have learned that it is not desirable to mount the phantom. For this reason, I suggest that phantom training be undertaken only by those experienced in the method.
Some stallions will not mount a phantom, and/or ejaculate into an AV. Often these stallions are older stallions who have pasture bred or in-hand bred with minimum human intervention for many years. Collection into an AV can often be accomplished by using a "jump mare" (a mare in estrus who is guaranteed to "stand" well) rather than a phantom for these stallions.

For a video demonstration of this most entertaining of animal porn, see "Jackass 2." But once the horse has finished his business, you might want to turn it off.
