Pre-Breeding Examination
Pre-Breeding Examination
Our veterinary pre-breeding assessments for mares are designed to lay the foundations for successful reproduction and identify any potential problems early.
Our experienced and knowledgeable veterinarians thoroughly evaluate the overall reproductive health of mares before breeding. This comprehensive assessment includes thorough physical examination, examination of the perineal conformation and mammary gland, and reproductive tract evaluation using advanced imaging technologies including ultrasound.
Additionally, we assess the general health, nutritional status, and vaccination history to ensure optimal condition for breeding. Our commitment to proactive and in-depth pre-breeding assessments aims to identify and address any potential reproductive challenges early on, maximising the chances of early conception and a successful and healthy pregnancy. You can rely on us to provide the personalised care and expertise your mare needs on her reproductive journey.
Emergency veterinary attention for your horse may be required at any time of the day or night. We provide veterinary care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to registered clients.

Due to the very rare survival of twin pregnancies to term it is recommended to reduce one of the embryos to result in a single remaining pregnancy.
