Abstract
An artificial vagina releaseably attached to one end of a phantom mare. The phantom includes a body section that is adjustable such that the vertical height and angle of inclination can be set to accommodate stallions of all sizes. The body section also includes a recessed area to simulate the shape and size of a mare's body and to provide the stallion with a gripping area. The phantom of the present invention makes collection more natural for the stallion and will be less work for the handler.
