Reproductive Medicine

Breeding – We have experience working with programs that use shipped cooled semen or frozen semen. Many of our clients choose frozen semen for its convenience. Modern advances in this technique make it more accessible to those who were intimidated by the historically intensive nature of working with frozen semen. We can help you make the decision that is right for you, your mare, and your budget.

Pregnant Mare Care – We can customize a program to help ensure your mare gets all the care she needs during her pregnancy. This includes appropriate vaccines and deworming, as well as feeding recommendations and safe pasture management.

Newborn/Weaning Care – Once your new prize is on the ground, we can make sure it is as healthy as possible. Newborn exams are usually performed in the first 12 hours of life to ensure that foals have received the necessary colostrum from the mare in order to have a strong immune system. A thorough exam performed at this time may discover early on if there are any issues that need treatment to prevent future problems. As your foal grows and develops during its first year, it will need close monitoring to make sure it is getting proper nutrition and that limbs are developing normally. We will help you set up a plan for necessary vaccines and deworming, which are also a major part of keeping your foal healthy and protected.
