Breeding - Artificial Insemination

Artificial Insemination (AI) is done with the assistance of your veterinarian who will inform you when the semen should be shipped as well as carrying out the insemination process. Your mare may be given a hormone injection to bring her into heat at a desired time and another to cause her to ovulate once a maturing follicle has been detected by ultrasound. We will be in contact with you during this time to coordinate the simple steps.

Cooled semen is shipped overnight within the USA or Canada for insemination the following day. It will arrive in a cooled semen shipping container and it will be in a syringe that is ready for direct insemination by your veterinarian.

Frozen semen can shipped anywhere in the world in multiple doses and can be stored indefinitely with just one shipment. It can be used anytime; including weekends, holidays or beyond the lifespan of the stallion.

An ultrasound should be done 15 to 18 days from the last breed date to confirm the pregnancy. In addition, it will enable your veterinarian to “pinch” a twin embryo if necessary, as twin pregnancies rarely reach full term in horses.

You will be mailed the necessary paperwork for registration of the foal in your country. We enjoy and appreciate all of your phone calls, emails and photographs of your beautiful foals by our stallions. Your excitement certainly contributes to what makes all of this so rewarding to us. We give you our most sincere appreciation!
