racing but are not suitable for adoption are permanently retired to the Adena facility in Florida. The original concept for opening a stud farm in Canada was to produce horses deemed competitive on the international market. Stronach organized a partnership with Michael Coulterjohn in 2008 and brought Silent Name, a son of Sunday Silence to the facility, as well as Sligo Bay, a son of Sadler's Wells. Stronach also sometimes leases stallions to stand in other regions across the United States, such as sending Giacomo to Oregon. Adena Springs also sends stallions to stud at other facilities in states where Adena Springs does not have its own farms, such as New York, and Maryland. They also stand stallions at facilities across Canada and in England.

Both his sire, Macho Uno, and his dam, Ponche de Leona, were owned by Adena Springs at the time of mating; the pregnant mare was subsequently purchased by John and Carole Rio of Florida, where Mucho Macho Man was foaled, and thus the Rios are officially listed as his breeders. Stronach, noting that Adena arranged the original mating, described the sale as "a homecoming of sorts."
