MIDWAY, KY - Nathan Fox, president of Richland Hills Farm, announced today that stallion and Grade 1 winner Richter Scale has been moved to Chad White Farm in Benton, Louisiana. The 14-year-old son of Habitony-Devine Pet, by Bel Bolide will stand for a fee of $2,500 live foal guaranteed, payable when the foal stands and nurses.

"This is a good fit for a proven stallion like Richter Scale," said Fox. "This horse has been very good to us, and we know he will have a chance for further success as a part of the lucrative Louisiana-bred program."

"We welcome Richter Scale to Louisiana," said farm owner Chad White. "He has settled in well and we look forward to offering him to Louisiana breeders as well as sending many of our own mares to him."
