Breeding & Reproduction
Veterinary Guidance to Produce Healthy Foals
Whether it's your first time breeding your horse, or you are a seasoned pro, our reproductive management services can help. Our experienced team of veterinarians understands the importance of a successful breeding program.
Our reproductive management services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each mare and ensure optimal health and fertility. Using state-of-the-art ultrasound technology, our veterinarians can track your mare's cycle and identify the optimal time for breeding.
Once pregnancy has been achieved, we can monitor your mare's health to ensure she receives the very best care throughout and help your beautiful foal be delivered safely.

The Benefits of Artificial Insemination
Artificial insemination (AI) offers substantial advantages for breeders and horses. This safe and convenient process allows for more genetic selection from studs all over the world and allows you to breed your mare without risk of injury or the added expense of traveling.
By avoiding traveling to a breeding barn, you can avoid costly trailering fees and wear and tear on your vehicle. You can also help to protect your mare against exposure to infectious diseases.
AI also has the advantage of removing any contact between the stud and your mare. This prevents the injuries and stress that can result from live cover breeding.
We will work with you to ensure that your mare is safe and comfortable throughout the process. Contact us to book a breeding consultation or to schedule an AI appointment.
