A "stud" is a term usually referring to the intention of using the stallion for breeding purposes only, where there is a fee/value placed on him as a sire of quality horses. The horse/stallion isn't for sale, rather his stud duties are for sale. For example an ad may say something like: "Champion Thoroughbred stallion at stud, $50,000 live foal guarantee".
Some people refer to their stallions as "studs" because they are old enough to reproduce and can be used for breeding. Usually, the term is reserved just for mature male horses that really are used for breeding (not just capable of it) and not much else, such as a retired male champion race horse.
