WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE THINKING OF BREEDING YOUR MARE(S):

1. Pick your stallion.
2. Speak to the stud / stallion agent about the specific terms and conditions of your contract
with them regarding natural covering or supply of semen.
3. Establish the pre-breeding requirements of the stud if the mare is to be covered naturally
(pre-breeding testing usually includes CEM / EVA / EIA swabs and blood samples and/or a
negative endometrial swab on each cycle that the mare is going to be covered on).
4. Where applicable, please let us know what stallion’s availability is and any stipulations made
by the stud / breeding centre.
5. Book your mare in for the pre-breeding tests (CEM / EVA / EIA) well in advance or according
to the breeding centre’s requirements. It usually take 3–4 days for the test results to come
back and slightly longer in case of weekends and bank holidays.
6. Please discuss your plans with us in advance of your planned breeding and we will be able to
advise you appropriately.
In order to take advantage of our package prices, the full package fee is payable in full before any
work is started. Any additional costs are subject to our normal terms.

A live foal is not guaranteed but we will endeavour to do our best for each mare!
➢ In the interests of the safety, it is sometimes necessary to sedate mares for
examinations and procedures. This can often be reduced by the availability of stocks and
extra help at the yard to assist with handling.
➢ Acceptance of a package is deemed to be consent to any necessary sedation and to the
consequent charges.
➢ Please note, any internal examination carries a very small risk of injury, infertility or
even death.
