This is why we do what we do, helping make people’s breeding dreams become a reality.

And aside from the gorgeous foals (anyone who has worked with me can confirm I am still a sucker for a foal!), this is why I love my work! It’s a pretty special thing to be a part of ❤️🐴

🌟MEET THE TEAM MONDAY🌟

This Monday we meet Olive Mcleod!

Now in her third season at Equus, Olive has become such a valued and well-loved part of the team. Small but mighty, she’s an awesome horsewoman with a real knack for understanding and working with all kinds of horses.

Olive can often be found training her own ponies which is something she’s super passionate about. Last year she had amazing success in the C**t Challenge at Equifest with her Kaimanawa, Bacardi.

When Olive isn’t with her horses - she is most likely training for jujitsu where she holds a green belt!

We’re so lucky to have Olive on our team again this year and it has been awesome to see her grow in many ways over the past few seasons.

For those of you wondering what OPU/ICSI is, here’s a great explanation from Dr Lee Morris at EquiBreed ART.

OPU/ICSI is a fertility treatment that is used in humans and horses, where the eggs are recovered from the ovaries by an ultrasound guided technique and then the eggs in this case were shipped (by Air NZ!) to EquiBreed ART for the s***m to be injected into the egg (intracytoplasmic s***m injection aka ICSI) - so fertilisation occurs in the lab (not the mare, bypassing some fertility hurdles). Then the embryo developes in the lab (test tube baby) and the exciting part of this story is that we completed the loop by shipping the embryo back to Equus Veterinary Reproduction and Consultancy for transfer into a recipient (surrogate) mare. We can also use this embryo technology all year round - so not just in the breeding season when everyone is flat out busy! So this technology increases breeding options for the mare owner and the eggs and s***m are shipped around while the egg donor mare (the posh mare) doesn't have to travel all the way to Te awamutu for the procedure:) It is also a great opportunity to work with Equus Veterinary Reproduction and Consultancy !

We are super excited and proud to share with you the FIRST ICSI EMBRYO produced from shipped oocytes in NZ!

🐴 Oocytes harvested by us at EVRC.
🐴 Flown to EquiBreed ART for ICSI and grown into a beautiful embryo by the legendary Dr Lee Morris.
🐴 Returned to us thawed and ready to transfer to one of our recipient mares at Equus Veterinary Reproduction and Consultancy.
🐴 Today “Ginny” our recipient scanned 15 days in foal with this special embryo by Glamourdale Olst Horses!

A new and exciting breeding option available to NZ mare owners, meaning less travel for your mares for O**m Pick Up services along with the other benefits of OPU/ICSI for competition mares or those with fertility issues.
