Pinhooking –
As both a buyer and consignor at the leading North American auctions, Chad has an understanding of the market that allows for the acquisition of sometimes bargain priced bloodstock which often escalates in value very quickly. His track record in “pinhooking” is most impressive.
Seasons, Shares and Mating Recommendations –
Chad has been a student of pedigrees for over 30 years, with a near encyclopaedic knowledge of the industry. Bloodlines are the key to understanding the market, and he has helped his clients stay ahead of the game by choosing the right stallions to breed to.
Stallion Prospects –
Chad has assisted in acquiring an impressive stallion roster for clients throughout the United States and internationally.
Purchases include G1 winners/sires: Admiral Kitten, Canadian Frontier, Cat Thief, Circular Quay, Discreetly Mine, E Dubai, First Defence, Flat Out, Friends Lake, Full Mandate, Graeme Hall, Harlington, Kipling, Latent Heat, Midas Eyes, Passion For Gold, Pollard’s Vision, Read The Footnotes, Songandaprayer, Stratford Hill, Toccet and Zavata as well as other accomplished winners/stakes sires such as Apriority, Beethoven, Bern Identity, Casino Host, Den’s Legacy, Dr. Johnson, Excaper, Justenuffhumor, Neko Bay, Redesdale, Sabre D’Argent, Shaniko, Songandaprayer, Speightster, Startac, Taqarub, Top Cross, Unitarian, Utopia and Will He Shine.

Schumer Bloodstock Agency was formed in 1991 by Louisville, Kentucky native Chad Schumer as a full service firm dealing with the international market of buying and selling Thoroughbreds.
Early beginnings in bloodstock were trips to iconic Churchill Downs with his grandmother while just a child of five years. Initially disinterested, one day the switch flipped and he became enthralled with the other side of the business – not the gambling that drew his grandmother in, but rather the idea of pedigrees and where these thoroughbreds came from.
After deciding right then and there he wanted to pursue life in the bloodstock trade, finding out more about the industry was his quest. Back then a trip to the local bookstore would have him purchasing the odd Thoroughbred Record or Blood-Horse magazine. This eventually led to his attending the University of Louisville Equine Industry Program, part of the College of Business. Many years later, he was called back to the University as guest lecturer.
Now with over 25 years experience, we continue to advise and assist our clients worldwide in obtaining young stock to race, broodmares and stallion prospects to breed, pinhooking, mating recommendations and insurance services. Among the leading buyers at the venerable Keeneland sales, Chad has been ranked among the top purchasers of bloodstock each of the past few years.
We have done appraisals for some of the top professionals in the industry and even helped broker for the United States Government when their share of Curlin was made available for purchase.
With Chad’s vast knowledge of the international market, the agency is an established leader in the exportation of horses around the world. England, France, Ireland, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Chile, Pakistan, Turkey, Libya, Thailand, Kuwait, Iran, Panama, Jamaica and Mexico are among the many nations in which our clients have been successfully represented.
Chad attends auctions throughout the world and visits farms and racetracks globally as well. Further, we are able to facilitate shipping and insurance as well to ensure a smooth transition of bloodstock anywhere.
Schumer Bloodstock takes pride in operating at every level of the market. 2019 was one such year, highlighted by the purchase of Miss Tapirado for $1.3 million at the Keeneland April 2yos in Training Sale and success of $6,000 yearling purchase Kenzai Warrior in the G3 Horris Hill Stakes at Newmarket.
