The 2024 breeding season is fast approaching and some of you may be weighing up stallion options for your broodmares. If you are considering using frozen semen, we've taken a look at the benefits:

- Planning ahead - Frozen semen can be ordered and shipped well ahead of the breeding cycle and stored with your vet until ready for use.
- Conception rates - Evidence-backed research shows that, with a fertile mare, using frozen semen with commercially acceptable motility (at least 30%) may have similar conception rates to chilled semen.
- Specialist processing - Professional collection/analysis at the time of freezing should mean higher quality control of semen.
- Increased options - Mare owners have the opportunity to breed with any stallion with semen available, including those who have died, been castrated or are busy competing.
- Global markets - As frozen semen can survive for longer periods of time, it can easily be shipped worldwide, so choice isn’t limited by proximity.

We have a huge range of stallions available frozen at WKS, including Cevin Z, Masterclass, Party Trick, SF Detroit (and many more). Contact us on 01249 782050 or [email protected] to order or for more information.

'When I was young I spent my time at shows watching those in higher classes, watching what they did, how many strides they took, how they warmed up. Now I see the next generations of jumpers spending their down time at shows with their head in their phones, missing out on valuable lessons.
Remember this, greatness will not come to you, seek it out, be hungry to learn. Those at the top never stop learning from their peers'.

Very well said Mr John Whitaker! 🇬🇧 you're a proper role model and a true Hero👏
Long May It Rein!

⚠️ LAMINITIS WARNING ⚠️

🌦️ The continued rainfall and warm conditions promote the ideal environment for grass growth 🌱

🐎 Laminitis can cause extreme pain, lameness and permanent damage to the hooves. Being aware of the more subtle signs of laminitis can help you act faster, resulting in more efficient diagnosis and treatment.

👀 Be extra vigilant with horses and ponies with metabolic conditions and those who are overweight, as this puts them at a greater risk of laminitis.

🔎 Just because a horse hasn’t had laminitis before doesn’t mean they can’t get it.

Just like her owner, Talula is on a bit of a healthy fitness plan, honestly, she only needs to look at a blade of grass to look rather portly. So she’s alternating between, her stable, the empty mare barn and The Garth AKA the starvation paddock, where there’s nothing to eat apart from a controlled amount of haylage.
One bonus is she’s been having lots of in-hand training.
I’ll not embarrass her, by sharing her weight, but maybe in due course.

Here she is looking a tad tired after lots of walking around, on the lead rope and lunge.

I love watching horses watching whatever they find interesting and here’s Talula watching the slurry being spread on the field where she gallops around in the summer and as it’s so cold you can see her Breath!

Lottie the Tobiano and Talula, Truly and Ettie the Knabstrupper Gang out yesterday in the Garth having fun in the snow and rolling in what mud they could find.
