Kirk settles semen strife in horse breeding deal

CAPTAIN KIRK has boldly gone where no man has gone before, had intimate moments with alien life forms, and extricated himself and his crew from many a sticky situation.

And now the good captain’s alter ego, William Shatner, has made the best of another sticky situation by getting his horse semen in order.

Lawyers for Marcy Lafferty Shatner, the Star Trek star’s second wife, announced that the exes had settled a legal battle over the aforementioned equine genetic matter, but terms of the deal were not disclosed. The lawsuit was officially dismissed in June.

The former missus sued Shatner in April, claiming he failed to make good on a divorce settlement stipulation that he beam down “fresh cooled format” semen from his prize stallions, including the horses Great Day’s Came the Sun and Sultan’s Great Day, by instead sending her frozen semen.

There was no word on why Shatner stopped the “fresh cooled” shipments last March. He had been providing Marcy Shatner her preferred semen in every horse-breeding season since their 1995 split.

The “fresh cooled” variety is the semen of choice for horse breeders, according to the suit.

Shatner, 72, has been a horse enthusiast for years, maintaining farms in Kentucky since the mid-1980s and hosting an annual celebrity polo match for charity in California.

He’s currently wed to wife number four, the former Elizabeth J Martin.
