It's almost foaling and breeding season, and we couldn't help but share this photo a breeder sent today, capturing a moment in our breeding shed last year. She loved how our staff handled her foal. We do have the best team, so if you're still looking for a place to foal your mare or a stallion to breed to give us a call!
