Mare Services
Care of Your Mare
Your mare is guaranteed excellent care, throughout their stay. Karen Raine owner & manager is a B.H.S.A.I. & B.H.S. Intermediate Stable Manager. As well as N.V.Q. qualified stud assessor. All mares are treated as individuals & any special feeding or care can be organised. Unsound mares, mares on box rest, mares on medication, mares recovering from lameness or surgery can all be looked after by our team of qualified staff & vets. Where required mares can go on our Horse walker either for exercise, to keep fit, or for rehabilitation.
A.I Services
We have a minimum of two fully qualified A.I Technicians who will ensure that all of the semen is handled and processed correctly prior to insemination. This ensures the best chances of pregnancy.
You don’t have to use our stallions to take advantage of our excellent facilities and experience. With our very competitive A.I/Vets packages mares are taken for A.I with fresh or chilled semen to any UK or EU stallion of the owners choice. We can advise on contracts and delivery arrangements for any prospective stallions. We will liaise with the stallions owner to take the hassle out if it for the mare owner. Our packages also include all of the correct paper work required to ensure your foal can be registered for a verified parentage passport.
By using A.I it provides a much safer environment for your mare as she will never meet the stallion reducing the risk of injury. A.I also allows smaller mares to be put to larger stallions. Fertility rates are increased as semen is evaluated and inseminated accordingly.
These are charged by the stud per cycle. In order to enable A.I to be carried out at the optimum time for the best chance of conception A.I is performed by one of the stud’s qualified A.I technicians rather than having to be timed round vet visits.
A.I to an on-site or walk in stallion £30
A.I to UK based off-site stallion £40- non UK based Stallion £60 -this includes all the liaising with the Stallion owner, checking semen health tests and fertility.
