Breeding mares and raising foals can be wonderful! However, much thought and preparation should go into the decision process.

Vaccination and de-worming protocols will be slightly different for mares and foals. Planning before breeding and understanding the processes involved will help prepare you for your new foal. At CEVS, we are happy to provide you with that information.

Pre-breeding rectal exams and ultrasonographic exams can be performed to determine a mare’s suitability for breeding. A mare’s estrus cycle is then followed to determine the appropriate time for breeding.  Artificial insemination or live cover breeding at a breeding farm can be set up.
