Public Announcement:
It is with a heavy heart that I'm announcing that we will not be offering reproductive services at Equine Veterinary & Dental Services Pty. Ltd. (EVDS) this coming season.
After 23 seasons of working 7 days/wk between September & January, my brain, body & team have requested to not keep doing Repro on top of all the other shinanigans we get up to during the year. 🤠
The good news is that within 10 mins to 3 hours of us, there are several extremely good veterinary clinics offering reproductive services , which I'm sure you can Google.
I thank the clients I've serviced since 2002 at EVDS for believing and trusting me with your mares & stallions, but I'm no longer able to cope with another breeding season - which also happens to be the most poorly remunerated service per hour we offer👍
I’ll endeavour to contact the owners of frozen semen in our 3-4 tanks asap, which we’ve foolishly never charged a cent for since 2013, yet paid out $4-5 K/yr to keep the liquid N topped up, to organise either throwing your semen out, or having you organise to having it transferred to a commercial facility who’ll likely charge you.
All the very best with your breeding season in 2025,
Love you all!
Oli
PS the mare in the crush is Big Lilly (Midnight Lights) who gave me the most beautiful, ugly, unco foal I could ever wish for, but Raffa will be my heart horse, who I'll care for over the next 10-40 years - how ever long he’ll choose to stay on this Earth for! ❤️
