In that studio prepared to be a father to the Arabians? (2,4)

I believe the answer is:

at stud

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be a father to the arabians?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'in that studio prepared' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'AT STUD' is hidden within 'that studio prepared'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for at stud that I've seen is " Being used for breeding purposes".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
